Can I view Instagram Stories without an account?

Yes — but only for public profiles. Tools like Dolphin Radar let you watch Stories without logging in. Instagram’s own app requires an account.

Will they know I viewed their Story?

No. If you use a trusted anonymous viewer like Dolphin Radar, your name won’t appear in their viewer list.

No. Private content stays visible only to approved followers — no tool can bypass that.

Mostly yes, if you choose reliable, web-based tools that don’t ask for your login or personal data.

You can’t view private or expired Stories, and Instagram may update its system, which can affect tool performance
