Do you want to watch a story on the Instagram application without the person concerned knowing? There is a secret technique that allows you to do this in seconds.
Instagram is one of the most used applications on smartphones around the world. Alongside TikTok and Snapchat, the photo and video sharing application, developed by Meta (Facebook, WhatsApp, etc.), regularly offers new features to captivate (and captivate) its users.
Instagram recently added the music option to users’ profiles. But the latter mainly remain attached to two other major functions of the application: posts and stories. If the posts are additions of photos and videos that can be viewed permanently by other users, the stories are developed so that they are only visible for a few hours. Each user who views your story is also tracked so you can know precisely who is viewing your ephemeral publications.
However, there is indeed a hidden technique for viewing a user’s Instagram stories without the user being aware that you have seen it. It requires a little savvy, but it allows you to view the stories of a person you follow (or not!) on Instagram without them being able to see your profile among the people who have viewed the story in question.
To do this, go to the profile of the person whose story you want to watch. Do not click on her profile photo at the risk of making her story appear and she can see that you have viewed it! Just stay on their profile page for a few seconds or a minute. Indeed, Instagram doesn’t just display a profile’s publications when you stay on it. The app also preloads the user’s stories before you even think about viewing them!
After waiting a little while, turn off all networks on your phone. Whether it’s your cellular plan or your Wi-Fi. You can even activate airplane mode to ensure that your smartphone is no longer connected to any networks that might be sending data.
Once your phone is “cut off from the world”, click on the user’s stories. These should then be displayed and you can view them as many times as you want. Then exit Stories and close Instagram before reactivating your smartphone’s network to be able to use it normally again. During viewing, your phone does not send any internet or cellular data and the Instagram application cannot detect the selected stories and notify the profile concerned! Basic, but very practical.
