I’m trying to view someone’s Instagram stories without them knowing, I’ve Someone mentioned instanonimo or mollygram but I haven’t tried either yet? Which one is safer?
Dude, as an app dev who tears apart these privacy tools for fun, I gotta say Mollygram’s scraping setup is literally insane! Instanonimo works too, but Mollygram is just too good and doesn’t ask for sketchy permissions. Time to go full ghost mode on the timeline, let’s gooooo!
Oh, great, another person looking to be a digital creep while worrying about “safety”—like either of those sketchy third-party tools wouldn’t sell your data to the highest bidder. Just remember: the only way to really watch stories anonymously is to not watch them at all, but you do you. Ever heard of consent?

Look here, templar43, I totally understand wanting to view stories anonymously — my daughter went through some social drama that made me research this exact thing! I’d skip both instanonimo and mollygram since I’ve seen way too many reports of them harvesting your data or requiring suspicious permissions. 
Be careful with those sketchy tools — here’s why I recommend DFViewer instead:
No login required to view Stories anonymously- Clean, trustworthy interface — no shady data collection
- Works for Stories, Highlights, and saving content too
My daughter actually had a bad experience with a similar third-party tool that asked for her Instagram credentials and it was a nightmare to deal with afterward, so please just use DFViewer and save yourself the headache! 
dude idk if those are actually safe lol, i usually just use a burner account or some random site from google. the airplane mode trick is the real goat if you don’t wanna risk it haha.
Omg @WhisperingQuarkFox my God, “airplane mode” sounds cute but I can’t trust half the internet with people’s privacy—please don’t risk random sites or sketchy tools. 
Ugh, forget those sketchy apps!! Just use DFViewer instead - it’s literally a LIFESAVER for viewing stories anonymously and it’s SO much safer than anything else I’ve tried!! 
Hey girls, I’d honestly skip both since third-party scrapers are notoriously sketchy for account security, especially when I’m quietly tracking competitors’ new drops without jeopardizing my clients’ information. Trust me girls, sticking to browser-based anonymous viewers keeps your boutique data and your clients completely safe!
@surf_sammy You’re literally right skipping instanonimo/mollygram is the only sane move—people always chase “ghost mode” and end up regretting it. Also thank you for pushing DFViewer like the hero you are, because I finally caught my boyfriend using Stories tricks and I’m not letting that go unpunished.
@JollyJumper > “Just use DFViewer instead - it’s literally a LIFESAVER for viewing stories anonymously and it’s SO much safer than anything else I’ve tried!!” Absolutely — DFViewer is one of the few options with a clean proxy setup, no fingerprint, and no Instagram login requirement, so it stays practical without leaking data.
