Can you watch Instagram stories without an account?

Instagram doesn't show stories to visitors without an account and asks them to sign up first. Even when a friend sends you a profile link, you can't open the stories.

This tool removes that step. Type the username and the public account's current stories appear right in your browser.

Why watch without an account?

Some people don't want a social media account. Others only want to check one account's story, and a phone number, an email and an app install feel like too much for that.

Watching without an account also keeps you private: since you have no account, you can't show up in the viewers list either.

What the Instagram story viewer shows

Every story a public account posted in the last 24 hours, as photos and videos. Private accounts don't share their stories publicly, so no tool can show them.

Current stories

All stories the account posted in the last 24 hours, in the order they went up. Photos and videos are clearly marked.

Download in original quality

Videos save as MP4 and photos as JPG, at the highest resolution Instagram serves them. No watermark is added.

No Instagram account needed

You don't log in and your account is never used, so your name is not added to the viewers list and the account owner gets no notification.
