When you view a Story through your Instagram account, the person who posted it can see your username in their viewer list. That's why many people look for other ways to browse content more privately.
Using a service without logging in doesn't automatically guarantee complete anonymity. It's also important to respect other people's privacy: content shared with approved followers is not publicly accessible.
Important tip: Never share your Instagram password with unfamiliar websites, and be wary of services promising access to private accounts.
Story Preview vs. Anonymous Viewing: What's the Difference?
In markets where Instagram Plus is available, it includes a feature called Story Preview. This lets you see a brief preview of a Story without appearing in the viewer list. However, it doesn't let you watch every Story in full without being seen.
Some Instagram Plus features can also extend the lifespan of Stories to 48 hours. For details and availability, see Meta's official announcement.
