Create a New Instagram Account
This is the easiest way to become an anonymous story viewer on Instagram. You just have to create a new Instagram account (not your name, of course). We suggest that you use a VPN before creating a new profile. This will keep your account details more secure.
Also, turn on the VPN every time you want to view an IG story anonymously.

Slide and View from Adjacent Stories
This is a straightforward, sneaky way to view a story without actually giving it a view. You can view the story by slightly swiping and holding the current story. This way, you can sneak a peek at the competitor’s story.
In other words, you’ll be holding the frame of the current story, slightly swiping to the next and holding it exactly in a place where you can see the competitor’s story. Ensure you hold the story frame; if you let it go by mistake, you’ll accidentally give a view.
