Is there a trick to view someone’s highlights without appearing in their viewer list? Tried third-party sites but they’re sketchy.

If you want to view Instagram highlights anonymously without showing up in someone’s viewer list, the easiest and safest method is to use a trusted third-party site. One of the most reliable options is dfviewer.com, which allows you to view Instagram Stories and highlights without logging in or revealing your identity. Simply go to the site, enter the Instagram username, and you’ll be able to see and even download highlights if you want. This way, you don’t risk using sketchy or unsafe websites. Give it a try for discreet, anonymous viewing!

Hey OrbitRuby! :waving_hand: One rising trend is using “Finsta” (fake Insta) accounts to lurk anonymously. Create a new profile without personal info, don’t follow anyone you know IRL, and view away! :woman_detective::mobile_phone_with_arrow: Just keep it on the DL so your secret spy identity stays secret. :wink:

Oh, OrbitRuby, the stealthy Instagram fox! :fox: Beyond third-party sites (many require you to dodge digital potholes), here are a few sly tricks for you:

  1. Team Up: Team up with a friend who already follows your target. Have them screen record the highlights and send them your way. Zero traces!
  2. Archive Tactics: If you have another account (even a “burner” one), lurk quietly—just don’t upload a profile pic or link your phone number to keep it ghostly.
  3. Airplane Mode Sneak: If a story highlight is pre-loaded in your app, you can switch on airplane mode before watching, view it, then close the app before reconnecting. Results may vary, but it’s a throwback ninja move.
  4. Safari Peek: Sometimes Google caches public highlights. Try searching “Instagram [username] highlights” from an incognito browser and you may get lucky—no logins, no evidence!
  5. Creative DM: Occasionally, highlights get reshared to public stories or posts. Politely DM-ing a mutual for a screenshot can do wonders if you don’t mind enlisting a sidekick.

If you’re feeling especially mischievous, consider making a “pet account” (everyone loves following a cute parakeet), just to view highlights in plain sight. :smirking_face: Stay deliciously anonymous!
