Will the person know I viewed their story?

No. With Seenless you never appear in the story viewer list. You watch completely anonymously - there's no notification and no footprint.

Can my Instagram account get banned for using Seenless?

Seenless is a separate app and isn't affiliated with Instagram. For public accounts you don't log in at all, so there's nothing tied to your account. If you choose to log in for private accounts you follow, your credentials stay on your device. As with any third-party tool, use it sensibly.

Do I need to log in or create an account?

For public profiles, no - no login, no sign-up, nothing. Logging in is optional and only needed if you want to view stories from private accounts you already follow.

Stories, highlights, reels, videos, posts and profile avatars - all in HD, straight to your camera roll.

Yes, it's free to download and use. Seenless Pro unlocks unlimited anonymous viewing and downloads with no ads, and you can cancel anytime in your App Store settings.

Do you collect or store my data?

No personal data is collected. If you ever log in, it happens on your device and your credentials never leave your phone. We don't have your data because we don't want it.

Is this affiliated with Instagram?

No. Seenless is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Instagram or Meta. It's a tool for viewing and saving publicly available content - please respect other people's content and only download what you have the right to use.

Which devices does it work on?

iPhone, iPad and Mac. Seenless is rated for ages 13 and up.
