Look at someones instagram without an account

To view Instagram without an account is a little tricky but not impossible. You won’t be able to browse Instagram home feed, but you can see other users’ profiles, as long as they are public.

There are two ways to view Instagram content without an Instagram Account.

View Instagram content via Instagram browser without login

Normally, Instagram doesn’t allow viewing posts without logging in.

But there is a little trick you can use to go around Instagram’s gated wall.

To access Instagram without login in you just have to type the Instagram website URL in your browser followed by the account's username.

Example: “www.instagram.com/brand.mentions”

This implies that you already know the username whose profile you want to view.

There you go, you can now see their Instagram profile.

Of course, this is only applicable to public profiles.

View Instagram content via a third-party Instagram software

Using an Instagram viewer is a great way to have access to Instagram profiles, without leaving any trace.

An Instagram viewer allows you to browse users’ profiles and even look at Instagram stories anonymously. The only requirement is that they are not private profiles but public Instagram accounts.

Here is what you can see on someone’s Instagram page:

• Profile name, profile picture, bio description, and links

• Total of followers, and following

Some Instagram profile viewers are even capable of downloading Instagram stories and highlights, viewing tagged posts, and even checking out related profiles.

There are many Instagram viewers from which to choose.

But be careful when you choose a story viewer not to give the platform any personal information. Some of them collect data for other purposes.

For someone wanting to look at a profile on Instagram without an account, there are ways to do this, but users won't have complete access. While most people are active on social media, some prefer to be observers and not participants. They like to keep their digital footprint small. These users don't want their entire life on the internet. Considering a future boss can see anything someone posts, it's understandable why they want to keep a low profile on social media.

All someone would have to do is go to the explore page to view categories. Then, they can find inspiration by clicking on a topic they want to search through. Pinterest may not tailor it to them, but they can still see what's on the platform.

The easiest way to look at a profile on Instagram without an account is if the person knows the username. Just go to the search bar on the web and enter https://www.instagram.com/username. Another way to view a profile is to Google the person or company's Instagram account. It will appear in the search results, and then just click on the link. Finally, on a company or personal website, click on the link to the Instagram profile. Unfortunately, there are limited things a person can see viewing a profile in these ways.

What You Can Do on Instagram Without an Account

Viewing Instagram without an account is possible, but quite limited. Here's what you can do on Instagram without an account:

• View profiles. If you know the profile name, you can check the user's profile information as well as see any links they may have in their bio.
• View images and videos. It's possible to click on an image or video to see the content. 
• See comments. It's possible to read comments left by registered users.
• Browse anonymously. Instagram's algorithm means it can suggest related accounts based on what you've looked at. When not logged in, there's no way of your activity being traced.
  

What You Cannot Do on Instagram Without an Account

Without an Instagram account, you will face some limitations. Here's what you can't do without an Instagram account:

• Post comments. It's not possible to leave comments or even likes on a photo or video.
• Follow an account. There's no way of following an account anonymously. You need to be registered to follow someone.
• Privately message a user. Without an account, it's impossible to privately message someone.
• Search for a profile. Unless you use a third-party website, there is no way of searching Instagram without being logged in. 

Instagram is free, so if you're still having trouble finding and viewing the account you want to see it might be worth a few minutes of time to sign up.
