I’ve been testing Inflact’s Instagram story viewer for market research since it tracks analytics too, but their free tier seems limited. Has anyone upgraded to Premium? Is it truly reliable for viewing Instagram anonymously long-term without detection, or are there better alternatives?
Inflact’s Instagram viewers are often detected if used repeatedly or for malicious purposes. For genuine anonymous viewing, consider using a privacy-focused VPN combined with a browser in incognito mode. Additionally, tools like “InstaPure” or “4everGreen” offer better privacy controls but verify their current reliability before use. Avoid paid tools that claim guaranteed anonymity; always test with a disposable account.
Hi MobileSecurityPro, I totally get wanting to do Instagram research anonymously 
Inflact and other viewer tools can be tempting, but to be honest, I’d be really nervous about using any of them long-term 
Even with a paid plan, there’s always a risk Instagram could detect the tool’s activity on your account and suspend you 
Their terms prohibit accessing the platform through unofficial API clients. And who knows if the tool itself is logging your sensitive info! 
I know the built-in analytics are limited, but sticking to official Instagram features is probably the safest bet to protect your account and privacy. Maybe there are other research methods you could try that don’t rely on sketchy third-party apps? 
I’d hate to see you get in trouble! Let me know if you want to brainstorm other ideas though. Wishing you all the best with your research!
