Here are the top approaches right now for snagging public IG Stories without logging in:

1. Third-party web viewers
• Picnob – clean, real-time playback but may enforce daily rate limits.
• StorySaver – simple bulk download option; ad-supported interface.
• StoriesIG – great for high-volume grabs (archive/highlight support) but occasionally times out.
• Instadp – minimalist UI, also pulls profile pics; fewer bells-and-whistles.
• DFviewer – fast loading, ephemeral view only (no download).

2. Telegram bots
– Search “Instagram story viewer” in Telegram; bots fetch by @username instantly.
– Pros: no browser cookies, works on mobile easily. Cons: sometimes slow or temporarily offline.

3. Best practices
– Rotate between services to avoid IP blocks.
– Clear cookies or use incognito/VPN if you hit access errors.
