Instagram story viewer
& recent follows.
Type a username. Its stories from the last 24 hours load right here, and below them who that account recently followed and unfollowed.
How to watch Instagram stories
Type the username of an Instagram account. You can view the latest stories on this page. You don’t need an Instagram account, you don’t need to sign in, and nothing gets installed on your phone or computer. If there are no stories today, register free and we’ll email you when they post.
Watch stories without appearing in the viewer list
You watch the story and you don’t appear in the viewer list. There is no login and nothing to install.
Instagram highlight viewer
Highlights are the stories an account chose to keep on its profile, and they don’t expire. When you look up an account, LikePatrol shows its highlights under today’s stories: tap a cover and the stories inside open in the same viewer, without appearing in the viewer list and without an Instagram account.
Private accounts can’t be read
A private account shows its profile and nothing else. LikePatrol doesn’t try to get around that.
Keep an account’s stories and get an email when there is a new one
Today's stories disappear in a few hours. With a plan, every story the account posts is saved with its date, 30 days on the monthly plan and 90 on the quarterly, and you get an email when a new one goes up. The same search also shows who the account follows, which is the other half of what LikePatrol reads. Plans start at $6.99 a month and can be cancelled anytime.
LikePatrol in three sentences
LikePatrol is a web tool that shows the stories an Instagram account posted in the last 24 hours without adding your name to the viewer list. It also reads the list of accounts an Instagram or TikTok account follows, shows who was followed and unfollowed recently, and points out the accounts known for gambling, extreme dieting, hate, scams, or sexual content. It works with not private accounts, never asks for a social media password, and is not affiliated with Instagram or TikTok.
Public follows Clear patterns.
Who someone follows is public. What it means is not. Type a handle and LikePatrol reads the whole list: who is in it, what those accounts push, which accounts were recently followed and unfollowed, and what it adds up to.

Related questions
- Can the account see that I watched its story?
- No. You don’t appear in the viewer list.
- Do I need an Instagram account?
- No. And you don’t need one of ours either to watch today’s stories. We never ask for an Instagram password.
- Do I have to sign in?
- Not to watch today’s stories. You sign in only if you want us to keep them and email you when a new one goes up — with Google, Apple or an email address.
- Can I watch stories from a private account?
- No. A private account shows its profile card and nothing else, and LikePatrol doesn’t try to get around that.
- Can I see a story that has already expired?
- Not one that expired before the account was added to a plan. Instagram deletes stories after 24 hours. Once an account is on your plan, the stories it posts from then on are kept, each with its date.
- Is it free?
- Searching an account and watching its current stories is free. Saved stories and email alerts come with the paid plans, from $6.99 a month, billed monthly or quarterly, cancel anytime.
- Can I watch Instagram highlights without appearing in the viewer list?
- Yes, for public accounts. The highlights appear under the current stories. Opening one works like opening a story: you don’t appear in the viewer list.
