Watch Instagram highlights anonymously

What are the Highlights?

As you know, the Highlights section was announced by the developers of the Instagram social network in the summer of 2017. And in December 2017, it became available to the mass user.

If previously Instagram user stories (like Snapchat) disappeared 24 hours after their publication, now they have been saved in the archive of user stories. From the Stories saved in this way, the user was able to form the "Highlights" section — sets of stories previously published by him/her by the chosen topic. Such publications didn't have a 24-hour limit and are available for viewing by other users as long as their owner deems it necessary.

How do Highlights Stories differ from the usual ones?

Current stories or Highlights are stories pinned under the account profile. Just like regular stories, they have a duration of up to 15 seconds, but do not disappear after 24 hours, but are available for viewing until the user deletes them from the page. Such stories can be collected into albums by topic for convenience and title.

What about highlights statistics?

Statistics are collected for all Highlights stories as well as for regular ones, and everyone who viewed the current one is displayed in it. Through the Inflact viewer service, the viewing of highlights is anonymous, and the account owner does not see these views.

How do Instagram account owners see the number of views on highlights?

Periodically, the Instagram account owner whose Stories you'd like to watch anonymously wants to know how many views have been received on Instagram Highlight, whether out of curiosity or for business purposes. Counting views is useful because it lets a profile owner know when to change or delete them, depending on their performance. However, the number of views and individual moments viewed is limited to a 48-hour window. After this period, this statistic disappears forever. And you won't ever be seen as a viewer of these Highlights.

Anonymous Instagram Highlights Browsing

Not all users can be displayed in the views section. The fact is that some applications and services allow you to view current and saved stories completely anonymously. You will not be able to find out about such views either on a mobile device or on a personal computer.

If you want to watch Highlights anonymously, you can either use a Story viewer by Inflact or use a Profile downloader to get all the profile information and content including Stories and Hightlights.

An Instagram profile downloader by Inflact

For example, a special myStoryviewer service, where it is enough to use a link to an Instagram account, after which the site will find the page and show all available materials.

A final word

All social media users like to track people who are interested in their lives. They can track likes, comments and story or Highlights views on Instagram. And you can stay totally anonymous with special web apps. You can do this through the official smartphone apps, Mac and Windows.
