Checks running

PeekViewer works on private IG accounts.

Give PeekViewer one Instagram username. It gets that account's story data and profile activity, and your own profile stays out of sight.

Entry 04 Note

Before you use it

Don't use it if:

they asked you to stay out of their life.
you want to post, like or reply as them. It only reads.
you hope to get their password. It never shows one.
the username is your own. Instagram already shows you all of it.

What one check shows

Story data, and the stories the account keeps coming back to.
Profile activity a private setting keeps from you.
Who keeps visiting the profile.
Screenshot alerts.
Who unfollowed them lately.

Entry 02 Fixed

Your name in their viewer list

Opening a story from your own account puts your name in its viewer list. A PeekViewer check runs without your profile, so nothing on their end points back to you.

On Instagram, a private account approves every new follower, and stories expire after 24 hours.¹

What people ask first

Does PeekViewer work?

Yes, private accounts included: that's what it's made for. You type one username and the check starts there.

Do I need an account?

No, nor an app to install. The following screen tells you what the check needs before the results appear.

Is PeekViewer legit?

It never asks for your Instagram login, so your account stays out of the check. Try one username and judge by what comes back.
