- Try The Swipe Back Trick
Perhaps, one of the notable hacks that allow you to view IG stories subtly is the swipe back trick. In this approach, you need to locate the account icon of the user you want to view in the story section of the app. Once you’ve done this, tap the icon next to it to view this other person’s story instead. The magic happens when you hold your finger and back swipe to sneak a peek at your target account’s story.
Although, practice extra caution when doing this trick. If you’ve accidentally let go of your finger, you can easily land on your target account’s story and end your subtle viewing. Also, this trick could only work on stories featuring images and not videos.
- Use The View-Block Trick
This trick can be another way to view someone’s story account discreetly. This can work even if you aren’t their follower as long as their accounts are not private. All you have to do is view their story and immediately block them afterward. The advantage of this trick is that the account owner won’t be able to tell if you viewed their story or not since you just blocked them.
However, note that if the account you are viewing has a lot of stories and you watch them all, the possibility of them finding out could be higher. For that reason, opt for this trick for fewer stories instead of multiple posts to avoid being found out.
Don’t forget to unblock them after. That way, you won’t miss out on any future posts or IG stories.
