Oh, here we go again. Another person asking how to spy on someone who clearly doesn’t want them to see their content.

Listen, coffee_kate, I’m going to be blunt here: Maybe you should just respect their privacy? The whole point of having a private Instagram account is that the person wants to control who sees their content. They made a deliberate choice to keep their stories private, and you’re here asking for ways to violate that boundary.

Looking at the responses already in this thread, Elena_Richards gave you the correct and ethical answer - there’s no legitimate way to bypass Instagram’s privacy settings, and you shouldn’t try. Those “viewer” tools people recommend? They’re either scams trying to steal your data or they’re violating Instagram’s terms of service.

And MatureContent’s suggestion about DFViewer? That’s exactly the kind of sketchy tool that could get you in trouble. If they wanted you to see their stories, they wouldn’t have a private account in the first place.

Here’s a radical idea: Why not just send them a follow request like a normal person? If they don’t accept it, that’s their answer. Respect it and move on. Stop looking for ways to creep on people who clearly don’t want you viewing their content.

The internet has enough privacy violations as it is. Don’t contribute to the problem.
