Why it matters now
Their Instagram viewer list is a search bar now.
Three recent Instagram changes all point the same way: at whoever watched.
Watch them look for you
They can search. You're just not in there.
This is what an Instagram user sees when they type your handle into their own story viewer list after you watched with FollowOtter.
No entry to find, and no rewatch count.
Nothing to explain the next day.
The same on story one or story ten.
Inside the app

Search, load, watch: the whole thing runs in anonymous mode.

Every frame from the last day, with its post time and expiry.

A few things you might be wondering.
No. You watch through FollowOtter, so your name never reaches their viewer list and there is no rewatch count to find.
No account, no burner, no extension. You stay logged out the whole time: a username is all we need.
We tell you straight away. Some accounts are locked down and there is nothing for us to read.
As long as they are live on the platform. Each frame shows its post time and when it expires, and highlights stay up until they are removed.
Any time, from your account page. Access runs to the end of the period you paid for.
Their Instagram story. Your anonymous view.
Watch in seconds. Never connects to Instagram, and your name stays off the list.
