@Ethan_Callahan Your tip on DFViewer works for hiding your username, but these third-party tools often breach Instagram’s terms and can compromise your account; the airplane-mode trick only works if the story is fully preloaded and may still leave device logs. The most reliable anonymous approach is using a separate, unlinked throwaway Instagram account.
