Instagram Story viewer

A Story viewer pulls the Stories a public account has posted in the last 24 hours and plays them outside the Instagram app. Watcholy adds the part most viewers skip: keeping them.

How it works

Paste a public handle or profile URL. Watcholy fetches the account's current Stories and shows them in order, with photos and video, and nothing is written to that account's viewer list.

Viewing vs. monitoring

A one-off view is fine when you are curious about a single account. Monitoring is for accounts you care about repeatedly — Watcholy re-checks on your schedule and saves each new Story to a private archive so nothing expires before you see it.

Limits

Watcholy only works with public Instagram accounts. It cannot access private profiles, direct messages, or anything Instagram does not already show publicly.

Frequently asked questions

How long are Stories available?
Instagram removes Stories after 24 hours. Anything Watcholy has archived for you stays in your account.

Yes — every plan starts with a 3-day free trial.
