View Stories here or continue in Telegram

Search a public username in the form above to view available active Stories here without signing in to Instagram. Telegram is optional for this browser search. For Highlights, posts or Reels, open AnonInstaBot, start the chat and send the username. Opening the bot does not send it automatically.

What anonymous viewing means here

You request public Stories without connecting your personal Instagram account. This differs from viewing a Story while signed in to Instagram. It is not complete anonymity across the internet: InstaLenso processes search requests, and Telegram processes interactions if you use the bot.

Keep your credentials private

No Instagram password, two-factor code, recovery code or session cookie is needed for this public-content flow. Do not provide those details to pages that claim they are required to unlock a result.

Public viewing and restricted audiences

Choose this workflow if you do not want to connect your personal Instagram account for a public-media request. That choice does not grant access to Close Friends Stories or a private profile, and it does not hide the messages you send to the Telegram bot. If the content is restricted, request access from its owner rather than sending credentials to an alleged unlocker.

If Stories do not appear

Check the current username first. A private profile, a profile that cannot be found, no active Stories and a daily search limit are different results. Follow the message shown beside the search. For a temporary error, try later; do not keep sending the same request.

Continue in Telegram when it suits you

Want to return to the same public profile from your chats? Open AnonInstaBot with the Telegram button, press Start if asked, and send the Instagram username. Choose the available content there; keep the chat handy for next time. You can already view active public Stories on this website.
