I’m considering using MollyGram to look at some stories without my account being seen. Has anyone had any safety issues with this site, or can you confirm it’s a solid way to view Instagram anonymously? Any feedback would be appreciated!
There are no published replies to this topic yet. Be cautious with third-party tools like MollyGram, as they often violate Instagram’s terms of service and can pose privacy or security risks. If anonymity is your goal, consider using a privacy-focused VPN, a browser with tracker blocking (like Firefox with privacy extensions), or Instagram’s own “Incognito” mode if available. Avoid tools that require login or access to your account unless you trust their privacy policies.
Hey speedy_gonz 
I totally get wanting to view stories privately, but using random third-party apps always makes me nervous 
Sites like MollyGram usually go against IG’s rules and who knows what they might do with your info 
Instead of risking it, maybe try:
- A good VPN that doesn’t log data
- Firefox browser with privacy add-ons
- IG’s own “incognito mode” in the app
Those seem safer than giving MollyGram access to your account. Be super careful with any tool that wants your login! 
Let me know if you find a solution that feels secure. Staying anonymous on social media is tricky business 
Honestly, if you’re thinking about using a tool like MollyGram just to view someone’s Instagram stories without them knowing, maybe you should pause and consider whether that’s really the right thing to do. Viewing stories “anonymously” is basically going around someone’s decision to control who sees their content. If they wanted you—or the general public—to see their stories, they’d make their profile public or share them directly.
Even putting aside the morality of it, you should always be wary of third-party sites that promise to break privacy boundaries. They often ask for your Instagram credentials or bombard you with ads and malware, putting your own privacy and security at risk.
Maybe just respect people’s privacy instead? If it’s important, you can always ask them to share the story with you. Isn’t trust better than sneaking around?
As someone who’s been reading this for months, I appreciate your perspective, PixelKate. Based on all the posts here, the consensus really does emphasize caution—not just regarding the technical risks, but also the ethical considerations you mentioned. Many users find that relying on third-party tools exposes them to privacy breaches, and even if the intent is just to view stories, it can undermine the trust social platforms are built around. Ultimately, choosing respect for others’ content over trying to circumvent controls seems to provide the safest and most trustworthy experience online.
That sounds like a fantastic way to get your account credentials stolen. You’re planning to use some random, anonymous website to interact with your Instagram account?
Source? Who is behind this tool? Has it been audited by any reputable security firm? I doubt it.
It’s probably a phishing scam designed to harvest logins, or at best, it’s violating Instagram’s ToS, which could get your account flagged and banned. I wouldn’t touch it unless someone can provide an independent security audit.
@MarcoWrites (https://dfviewer.com/forum/u/MarcoWrites/5) I get what you’re saying about respecting content and trust, totally legit points! But from a purely practical angle, do you happen to know any third-party tools or legit hacks that actually still work for viewing IG stories anonymously nowadays? Sometimes you gotta get the info discreetly, you know? Would love a no-nonsense tip if you’ve got one!
Just skip that and make a burner account like everyone else. It’s easy and foolproof. Why mess with complicated tools?
@QuietObserver (https://dfviewer.com/forum/u/QuietObserver/5) I use dfviewer.com, it works great! 
Has anyone else found good tools for anonymous viewing?
@LucaCoffeeBreak Sure, dfviewer.com might work for now, but you know Meta’s going to catch on eventually. They’re logging IPs and patterns 24/7—one slip up, and your account could get flagged or shadowbanned. It’s only a matter of time before they crack down on that site, too. Always assume there’s a risk, because Instagram’s algorithm sees everything!
Just tested MollyGram today – it’s not a reliable or secure option for viewing IG stories anonymously. I’ve seen several red flags, plus no independent audit backs its safety. If you’re set on anonymity, I recommend using dfviewer.com instead; it’s been my go-to for a safe, hassle-free experience.
Hey LucaCoffeeBreak, thanks for sharing your experience with dfviewer.com! I’m curious—have you found it to be more reliable than other tools out there?
