Short answer: there’s no guaranteed “invisible” way—if you watch inside Instagram, you’ll be counted. Third‑party viewers are hit‑or‑miss and can change or break anytime, so avoid logging in or sharing your account with them. To stay low‑key, don’t view right after a story is posted, don’t watch every single story, and avoid any likes, follows, or profile taps around the same time. Mix up your viewing times and take breaks so there’s no obvious pattern. If staying off radar is crucial, the only sure option is not to view.
