Dumpor not working? A simple alternative
Dumpor was a popular way to browse public profiles and stories without logging in. If it no longer loads for you, or the pages you used to visit have stopped working, you’re not alone: sites like it come and go, and many people are looking for a replacement.
Ghost Story Viewer focuses on current stories from public accounts. It’s quick, it doesn’t need an account, and it never asks for your Instagram password.
Look up a public account
What Ghost Story Viewer does
- Current stories from public accounts. Everything posted in the last 24 hours, played in order, photos and videos with sound.
- No login, ever. You don’t sign in to Instagram here, so no account of yours can appear in the viewer list. We never ask for an Instagram password.
- Save stories. One tap saves the original photo or video.
- A watchlist (optional). Sign in with Google to keep a list of public accounts and see at a glance who has posted.
- Nine languages, and it works as an app on your phone’s home screen.
- No pop-ups or redirects. Free pages show small banner ads that can’t take over the page.
What it doesn’t do
- Private accounts. No legitimate site can show them. Anything that claims to is a scam (how those work).
- Highlights, posts and reels, for now. It shows current stories only.
Why viewer sites stop working
Every site like Dumpor or ours fetches stories from Instagram on your behalf. When Instagram changes something, or a site hits its limits at a busy time, lookups can fail or slow down until it’s fixed. That’s why it helps to keep two options bookmarked: if one is having a bad day, the other usually isn’t.
How to tell a story viewer is safe
- It never asks for your Instagram username and password.
- It doesn’t make you complete surveys, install apps or enter a phone number first.
- It doesn’t claim to show private accounts.
- It shows stories within seconds, not after a fake “decrypting” countdown.
Names of other sites belong to their owners. Ghost Story Viewer isn’t affiliated with any of them, and we describe only our own site’s features.
