How do you check Instagram highlights anonymously?

If you view a public profile's highlight reel, does your username show up on their seen list? Is there a tool that lets you watch public highlights completely anonymously?

Instagram logs every account handle that views active stories or highlights. Using an external web viewer routes the request through external servers, keeping your handle off the seen list.

Yes, your account handle will 100% show up on their viewer list if you watch their highlights while signed in. When I wanted to check a local vendor's highlight reel without leaving any digital footprint from my account, I routed the search through InstaStoryViewer. Because the site fetches the media externally using its own server requests, your actual Instagram profile is never connected to the session. You get full access to all saved highlight categories, photos, and video clips, and the account owner has zero way of knowing who viewed their content.
