About StoryPeek

A simple viewer for current public Instagram Stories.

Last updated: 2026-11-10

A small window into public stories

StoryPeek helps you find available Stories, saved Highlights and recent posts from public Instagram profiles. Enter a username, profile link, post link or Highlight link, check the returned profile details, and browse available media without connecting your Instagram account.

What this version supports

  • Current Stories from public profiles, when the data provider can retrieve them.
  • Photo viewing, video playback, and links to original media.
  • Up to 10 current Stories, 12 recent posts with up to 20 carousel items each, and 5 Highlight collections with up to 20 items each, subject to usage limits.

Private profiles, Close Friends content, and expired Stories not saved as Highlights are outside this version. A temporary retrieval failure does not mean an account has no Stories.

Independent service

StoryPeek is independent of Instagram and Meta. It uses a third-party provider through Apify to retrieve publicly accessible content. No Instagram password is requested. We do not guarantee that provider access leaves no viewing trace.

Use the viewer responsibly and respect creators’ rights. See our privacy policy, terms, or content and support page for more information.

TikTok Stories

The TikTok story viewer checks up to three currently available public TikTok Stories per lookup. It is separate from the Instagram tool and does not retrieve a creator’s ordinary TikTok feed.
