Although using Instagram story viewer remains the easiest method to watch an Instagram story anonymously, other methods can be used.

This method is quite simple and does not require any special manipulation.
You just have to launch the Instagram application and wait for all the stories to load. Once all the stories are loaded, you can activate the airplane mode.
