For public accounts: use third‑party anonymous web viewers (DFviewer, Picnob, StoriesIG/StorySaver/Instadp), Telegram “Instagram story viewer” bots, or check the account’s Highlights / archive caches; developer/API proxies and scrapers can work but are technical and flaky. These methods are fragile (rate‑limits, blocks) — rotate services, try incognito/VPN if blocked, never give credentials, and note private accounts can’t be accessed without permission (and scraping may violate Instagram’s terms).
