Watch Instagram Stories anonymously by blocking "seen" receipts.
Take control of your privacy on Instagram. This script is designed to prevent your account from sending "Seen" receipts when you view Stories. It operates in the background as a lightweight, silent browser utility.
The script monitors network traffic across multiple APIs:
Request object payloads).Rather than relying purely on static endpoint URLs, the script inspects incoming request payloads—including GraphQL queries, mutations, and FormData structures—for tracking-related intent (such as view_seen_at or StoriesSeenMutation). Identified tracking requests are safely blocked or simulated as successful empty responses, allowing the story content to load normally.
Instagram relies heavily on a Single Page Application (SPA) architecture, which frequently updates its internal navigation flows and data endpoints. By monitoring the structural intent of the network requests rather than relying on strict page-path tracking (like /stories/), this script maintains functionality across routing changes and background transitions.
