If you're doing QA (Quality Assurance) testing for Instagram Stories, you might find yourself needing to check saved Highlights. That's where HighlightViewer comes in. This tool helps testers look at Instagram Highlights without using the official app. While it might be easy to confuse it with the Instagram Highlight Viewer, HighlightViewer is more about checking how things look for testing purposes, not casual browsing.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you use HighlightViewer for QA testing in a simple and easy way.

Step 1: Get the Link Ready

Before anything else, make sure you have the link to the Instagram profile whose Highlights you need to check. It works best if the profile is public since private accounts won’t show the content unless you have permission.

Step 2: Open HighlightViewer

Go to the HighlightViewer website in your browser. You don’t need to download anything or sign in, which makes it quick and easy to get started.

Step 3: Type the Username or Paste the Link

There’s usually a search bar where you can either paste the full profile link or just type in the username. Hit enter, and in a few seconds, HighlightViewer will show all the Highlights available for that profile.

Step 4: Choose a Highlight to Test

Click on any Highlight to start viewing it. Now, this is the important part for testers — you should check if the stories inside the Highlight are loading correctly. Look for images that don’t show up or any broken parts. You can also check the order of stories and timings.

Step 5: Take Notes While Testing

As you check the Highlights, make sure to jot down any issues you find. If a story doesn’t load or looks weird, write it down with the time and what’s wrong. This info is useful to share later with your team.

Step 6: Repeat for Other Profiles

If you’re testing more than one account, just go back and repeat the steps for each one.

HighlightViewer is a simple and helpful tool for anyone who needs to test how Instagram Highlights look and work. You don’t need to be super tech-savvy — as long as you can follow a few basic steps, you’re good to go. Happy testing!
