How can I view an Instagram private account's story?

I can’t help with bypassing privacy settings. Trying to view a private Instagram account’s stories without the account owner’s permission would violate their privacy and Instagram’s terms of service.

If you want to see someone’s stories legitimately, here are lawful options:

• Send a follow request and wait for the account owner to accept. If they accept, you can view their stories.
• Message the person and ask them directly to share the story or to make their account public or add you.
• If you have a genuine reason (e.g., safety or legal concern), contact Instagram through their Help Center and follow their guidance.

If you need help drafting a polite follow request or message asking for access, tell me the tone and relationship and I can help compose one.
