In case you don’t know, Instagram Stories is a video-sharing feature that lets you broadcast multiple snaps taken throughout the day to your followers. The photos & videos you share as Instagram Stories will disappear after 24 hours. Stories are very different than regular Instagram posts, as you can know who has seen your story. Similarly, other users can know if you have viewed their story. Occasionally, you might come across Instagram Stories that you want to view but don’t want the profile owners to know about it. In such cases, you’ll need third-party apps.
