## Frequently asked questions

### Can I watch an Instagram story without the person knowing?

Yes. You don't log in and nothing is sent to the profile, so the owner gets no notice and your view doesn't show up for them.

### Do I need to log in?

No. Just the profile's @ or link. Free lookups work without signing up.

### Is it free?

Yes, 2 profiles a day. Viewing the same profile again doesn't count. The sorteio.com annual plan unlocks unlimited lookups.

### Does it work with private profiles?

No, public profiles only. Stories stay up for 24 hours; if the profile posted nothing in that window, there's nothing to show.

### Can I download stories and posts?

Yes. Every story and feed post has a Download button.

### Do you ask for my password?

Never. You only enter the profile's public @.
