Most reliable: use a separate throwaway Instagram account not tied to your phone/email/contacts and never log your main account into third‑party “anonymous viewer” sites or extensions. For one‑offs, preload the story then switch to airplane mode or use an incognito web session + cleared cookies/VPN, but none of these are foolproof since Instagram can record views server‑side once you reconnect.
