Quite a large number of people are still searching for ways to view a private profile on Instagram. We’re not always ready to send a follow request if we aren’t familiar with the person yet, and we don’t want people to think we’re instastalkers. Being an instastalker isn’t easy, and sometimes you need ingenuity to view a restricted Instagram account without following it. We’ll tell you a few ways how to do this, but first think about whether you really need it.

Is it possible to view a private Instagram profile without following it?

There may be many reasons why you might need to view a private Instagram page, for example, to hide your interest. Here are a few ways you can do this:

– Check other social media profiles belonging to the owner
Sometimes users link their Instagram account to other social media and duplicate their Instagram posts there. This rarely happens, because when a person closes their account, they do not want their content to be publicly available. It’s unlikely that they will duplicate it on other social networks, but it is worth a try.

– The most obvious way is to send a request from your account
Sometimes it doesn’t make sense to reinvent the wheel. But if the request isn’t approved, consider other options.

– Create a duplicate account of the owner’s friend
There is a high probability that a request from a friend for access will be approved. When creating a duplicate account, copy the username, avatar, several posts and pick up at least 50 subscribers. The most important thing is not to synchronize your account with contacts and other social networks, to look the part.

– Create a fake account
Whatever the reason, if you need to view a private Instagram profile without following it using your real account, this method may help. Choose a random name and use photos, for example, from Pinterest. It’s important to make a realistic-looking account. You can even post a couple of everyday stories, for example, with memes.

– Use a mutual friend’s account
More often than not, we’re interested in visiting a private Instagram page of a person we know. We may have some mutual friends or acquaintances. Ask them to send you screenshots of the posts from the private account.

How do I find out who viewed my Instagram profile?

We can’t deny that sometimes we’re very curious about who monitors our accounts. Unfortunately, it’s impossible to work out who a specific instastalker is. There’s no function like that.

There’s no denying the fact that there are shady services that claim to accurately show who is instastalking your profile. We don’t recommend that you risk the security of your account. Instagram may block your account for using what they consider to be dangerous services.

Conclusion

Other ways to see a private Instagram profile are provided by not-so-reputable services, which can’t guarantee the safety of your account after using them. If none of the ways helped you view a private account; accept it. Everyone has the right to keep their account confidential.
