I want to watch someone’s story highlights, but I don’t want my username to show up in their viewer insights. Is it possible to view these permanent stories anonymously, or will the account owner always be able to see that I watched them?
Yes, you can view Instagram Highlights anonymously—your view won’t show up in their viewer list—by using a third-party tool, not the official app. Picnob is the best option for this. Simply enter the Instagram username on Picnob, and you can watch Highlights (and Stories) without logging in, and your identity remains hidden. Never use unofficial apps that require your Instagram password, as they’re unsafe. Stick with browser-based viewers like Picnob for privacy and security.
