How to View Someone’s Facebook Stories Anonymously

Your Quick Answer:

To view someone’s Facebook story anonymously, you can view it without being friends with the user in case it’s a public story.

But if it’s a private story, use a fake account to send the user a friend request and then view the story from the fake account after being friends.

You can also view the story after turning on airplane mode and then clear the cache data of the Facebook application after viewing the story. Then turn off the airplane mode to turn on the mobile data so that the server cannot update your name on the viewers’ list.

You can also use the half-swiping method to check the story of the user without getting your name on the viewers’ list.

You can also use a friend’s profile to check the story of who’s a mutual friend of the user.

Avoid checking the story till it expires. Wait for the user to highlight it on his profile and then check it later.

To check Facebook stories anonymously you can use the Chrome extension called Anonymous Stories for Facebook.

You can also use the spying tool called mSpy.

How to View Someone’s Facebook Stories Anonymously:

Try the following methods:

1. Using a Fake Account

If the user has a public Facebook account then there is a good way to view the story of the user anonymously.

When you check a public story of a user with whom you’re not friends on Facebook, then your name will not be shown in the story viewers’ list but it will only be counted numerically.

But if you’re already friends with the user, you can unfriend the user and then check the story so that your profile name doesn’t get shown on the list of story viewers.

However, in the case when the user has a private account on Facebook, you won’t be able to view the story unless you’re friends with the user.

But to hide your real name, you need to create a fake account and send a friend request from the fake account to the user. Once your friend request gets accepted, you’ll be able to see the story of the user and your real name will not be visible too.

2. With Airplane Mode

Another possible way to check Facebook stories anonymously is by viewing them in Airplane mode. As on Airplane mode, your Facebook activities are not updated by the Facebook server, so it won’t be able to update the viewers’ list.

You need to open the Facebook application. Bring down the top panel by pulling it down and then you need to turn on the Airplane mode by clicking on it. On some devices, the Airplane mode is also known as the Flight mode.

Only after you’ve turned on the Airplane mode do you need to click on the Facebook story of the user and then view it. Once you’ve viewed it, you need to clear the cache data of the Facebook application from the settings of your device and then turn off the Airplane mode and turn on the internet.

As the cache data has been cleared off, your activities won’t be updated after the internet connection is turned on.

3. Half Swiping

You can also view the stories by swiping so that it’s so totally seen by you.

When the story is half-swiped, your profile name doesn’t get recorded on the viewers’ list as you’ve not swiped all through the story to view it. When you swipe halfway, you’ll be able to get an idea of the story without seeing it totally or all the way.

4. From your Friend’s Mobile

If you know a friend who doesn’t mind his name on the viewer’s list and is also a mutual friend of the user, then you can use his profile to check the Facebook story of the user.

In this way, you’re saving your name from getting on the viewers’ list at the same time, and you’re able to check the story too.

5. Check Their Highlights Later Time

You can also avoid checking the story and wait for it to be highlighted on the user’s profile so that you can check it later. The highlighted story will be able to view all who are on the user’s friend list.

In case the user does not have a locked profile, it can be also viewed by stalkers and their names will not be visible to the owner of the story.

Therefore the story can be viewed anonymously when it becomes a highlight on the user’s profile. But there’s no guarantee that the user will highlight that particular story.

Accidentally viewed Facebook story – What To Do:

You have the following methods to follow:

1. View and Then Block Him

There are certain times when users accidentally view the story of some friends whose stories they don’t want to view so that their name doesn’t show up on the viewers’ list.

But in some cases of accidents, it happens by mistake which can be solved by blocking the particular friend quickly on Facebook. As you cannot undo after seeing a story, you need to quickly view the story after clicking on it.

Then you need to click on the profile name from the top of the story and you’ll be taken to the profile page of the user.

Step 1: Click on the three dots icon beside the Message button and then you’ll need to click on Block.

Step 2: Confirm it to block the user. Now, when the user checks the viewers’ list, your name will not be visible, but it will be shown as +1 other.

2. View And Then Unfriend Them

Another way to save your name from appearing on the viewers’ list when you accidentally view a story on Facebook is by unfriending the user.

Often by accident, we click on stories that we don’t want to check. If you’ve accidentally clicked on any such story which you don’t want to click on, you need to view it clearly and click on the profile name from the top of the story.

It will take you to the profile page. Then you need to click on the Friends that are below the profile icon. Next, you need to click on Unfriend and then click on Confirm.

Your name will now be shown as +1 other on the viewers’ list of the user’s story whom you’ve unfriended.
