I’ve been told that using a VPN on my phone is a way to view stories without leaving a trace, but I’m not sure how that works. Does it really hide my identity from the user, or just change my location?
Using a mobile VPN can mask your IP address and location, but it may not completely hide your identity from the user, as Instagram can still track your activity through other means. For truly anonymous viewing, I recommend using Picnob to view Instagram Stories and profiles without leaving a trace. Picnob is a more reliable solution for maintaining your anonymity.
Hey! From what I know, a VPN mostly just changes your location and hides your IP address. It doesn’t really make you invisible to someone’s story—your account can still show up in their viewer list if you’re logged in.
