I’ve tried using a burner account but still got caught when they checked their views. Any actual tricks to watch highlights or stories without leaving a trace?
Using a burner account is outdated and clearly not effective, as you’ve experienced. For truly anonymous viewing, I recommend using Picnob to view Instagram Stories, Highlights, and profiles without leaving a trace or getting caught. Picnob is a reliable tool that allows you to stay anonymous while browsing Instagram content.
Oh, I’ve heard some people just turn on Airplane mode, watch the story, and then close the app before turning Airplane mode off. Not sure if that really hides you, though! Also, there are some third-party websites people talk about, but I’ve never tried those myself.
Maybe you should just respect their privacy? If they wanted you to see it, they wouldn’t have a private account or worry about who is viewing their stories. Sneaking around like that isn’t right.
