DMCA and content removal
Last updated: October 13, 2026
View Story does not host Instagram content. Stories and pictures are streamed from Instagram's servers when a user searches a public profile. We can, however, block a profile from being searched on View Story.
Who can request removal
The owner of an Instagram account, or an authorized agent, can ask that the account be blocked from View Story. You can also report content that you own and that is being shown through a profile you do not control.
What to send
Email support@viewstory.app with "DMCA" in the subject line and include: the Instagram username in question, a link to the content, a statement that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner, your contact details, and a statement that the information in your notice is accurate. A short note from the account itself, such as a story mentioning the request, helps us verify ownership quickly.
What happens next
We review requests within a few business days. If the request is valid, the profile is added to a block list and searches for it return nothing. The content itself remains on Instagram; only its visibility through View Story changes.
Removing content from Instagram
If the content was posted by someone else without your permission, the fastest fix is to report it to Instagram directly, since View Story only displays what Instagram makes public. Once Instagram removes it, it no longer appears here either.
