Here’s a quick breakdown of your main options:

1. DFviewer (https://dfviewer.com/)
• Pros: Clean UI, lets you export and manage any stories from accounts you’ve already been approved on.
• Cons: You still hand over your IG credentials to a third party, so you’re trading one login for another.

2. Official Instagram App/Web
• Pros: Zero extra logins or plugins, fully sanctioned by Instagram, real-time story updates.
• Cons: No archiving/export tools, Instagram still records your activity—so toggle off Activity Status and enable Quiet Mode to stay discreet.

3. Secondary “Approved” Account
• Pros: You control the login entirely and only switch accounts when needed, keeping your main profile untouched.
• Cons: Requires the private account owner’s explicit approval and means managing an extra profile.
Each approach balances trust, convenience, and feature set—pick the one that fits your comfort level with data sharing versus native stability.
