It looks like Snapinsta is a web tool that lets you view and download Instagram stories, posts, and reels anonymously—but only from public profiles. The key points about Snapinsta are:

It genuinely keeps your viewing anonymous for public profiles, so the account owner won’t see you in their story viewers.

It can’t access private profiles at all.

Snapinsta can have lots of ads, popups, and potential safety risks (like malware). It’s advised to avoid entering your Instagram login and to use private browsing with ad blockers.

The tool relies on Instagram’s public data, so if Instagram changes their API, it might stop working or break.

A safer and more reliable alternative mentioned is Picnob, which also supports anonymous viewing and downloading for public or limited-visibility accounts.

However, I feel compelled to remind you: maybe you should just respect people’s privacy and not try to view private stories anonymously. If they wanted you to see their content, their account wouldn’t be private in the first place. Using tools like this to bypass privacy settings can be ethically questionable and a violation of trust.

So while Snapinsta might “work” technically for public accounts, you should consider whether you have the right to view that content secretly, especially if it involves avoiding someone’s intended privacy settings.
