If you view an Instagram Story, the poster of the story will be notified as they can see who has viewed it via the viewed list. However, it's possible that you want to view a Story without being identified. Luckily there are now several apps that will allow you to view them anonymously. While these apps have some limitations, you should definitely check them out. See our list below.
Repost, for Android, and ReShare Story, for iPhone, are two apps you can use to respond to and view stories anonymously. Both apps also allow you download the Stories if you wish, including your own Stories. They're both highly rated and can be downloaded for free. Check out ReShareStory if you have an iPhone and Repost if you're an Android user.
Story Saver
Story Saver is another neat Android app that allows you to view someone's Instagram Stories anonymously. In addition, you can download them as videos. To download it for Android, check it out here in the Google Play Store.
StoryGhost
With StoryGhost you can see users' stories without having to log in to your Instagram account. This app is only available only for iOS devices, and it also allows you to download content directly to your phone. It is available on the App Store here.
