What are Instagram highlights?

Highlights are stories the owner chose to keep. They sit in round covers under the bio, grouped by theme: "Travel", "Menu", "Reviews", "Shop" and so on. Unlike regular stories, highlights don't expire after 24 hours. They stay until the owner removes them, which makes them one of the best places to learn about a business or creator.

Why use a dedicated highlights viewer?

Most viewers only show what's live right now. If an account hasn't posted in the last day, you'd see nothing. The IGPVSTORY Highlights Viewer goes straight to the pinned collections. You can browse a brand's FAQ, a restaurant's menu or a creator's tour diary even when no live stories exist.

How to view highlights anonymously

  1. Enter the public username or profile link in the box above.
  2. Press View highlights to load the highlight covers and titles.
  3. Open a highlight to see the stories inside, and download any item you're allowed to keep.

Can people see who viewed their highlights?

Inside Instagram, highlight viewers are only shown for the first 48 hours after the story was originally posted. After that the list disappears. With IGPVSTORY you never appear in any list, at any time. We explain the details in can you see who viewed your highlights?
