Choose what you want to view

  1. Active Stories: choose View active Stories online above. Search the public username in the browser viewer, then open an available photo or video.
  2. Saved Highlights: open AnonInstaBot in Telegram, send the username and choose an available Highlight collection.
  3. Posts or Reels: send the username to AnonInstaBot in Telegram and select the content category you need.

Identify the public profile

Copy the handle from the profile URL rather than searching by display name. A username can change, so use a recent link when possible.

Choose a content type

Use the browser Story Viewer for active Stories. For saved Highlights, posts or Reels, open AnonInstaBot, tap Start if prompted and send the username. Opening the chat does not send the Instagram username automatically. A profile can have posts or Highlights without an active Story.

Browser Stories and Telegram profile requests

You do not need an Instagram account to request supported public content. Active Stories can be viewed on our Story Viewer page. Full profile content is not displayed as a browser feed here: use Telegram for the other supported categories. Private accounts, restricted content and deleted media remain unavailable.

What a profile viewer cannot reveal

This flow does not expose private messages, restricted posts or a private account's stories. Request permission from the owner for material that is not publicly accessible.

Keep your Instagram profile requests in Telegram

If Telegram is already part of your day, you can return to AnonInstaBot from your chat list and pin the conversation for easier access. Send the current Instagram username, choose an available content category and open returned media in the chat. Save a separate copy to your phone when you want to keep a file; chat history is not a guaranteed backup.

Instagram profile viewing: AnonyIG and InstaLenso

Choose a viewer by the content you need and where the result appears. InstaLenso displays available active Stories in the browser; Highlights, posts and Reels are requested in Telegram. When comparing another viewer, check its supported content, public-profile limits and whether it asks for Instagram credentials. Do not assume that every viewer offers the same result.

A public profile with posts but no Stories

Start with the account handle and choose the content category you actually need. For example, a public shop may have product posts and a saved opening-hours Highlight but no active Story. An empty Stories response is not a failed profile lookup or proof that the posts disappeared. Request the other category separately and inspect the returned media. Choose the category that contains the material you want.

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.
