A FEW THINGS TO KNOW
Questions, answered.
Can I view a private account?
No. This tool supports public content only. It cannot unlock private accounts, Close Friends stories or archived stories.
Why are no stories showing?
The account may have no active stories, may be private, or the username may be incorrect. The data provider can also be temporarily unavailable. A missing result does not prove an account has never posted.
Do I need to log into Instagram?
No. You do not connect an Instagram account to this viewer. Requests are handled through a third-party data provider. We do not promise complete anonymity across the internet.
Can I download a story?
Open the story using Open media, then choose Download from your browser’s video menu, if available. Options vary by browser and media type. Only save or reuse content you own or have permission to use.
Is there a usage limit?
Yes. This early version has limited daily availability. If the limit is reached, the viewer will ask you to try again later.
