We all know a particularly sad and hopeless feeling in the midst of an interesting Instagram scrolling sesh. A fun, stalking spree comes to a halt with a “Hey, this account is private” message on your screen. Now what? All you wanted was a glimpse of this person’s Insta feed. Or maybe you had finally found your crush’s username, only to find out their profile is set to private.
The truth is, at some point, we have all wanted to find a way around this inconvenience. The good news is, there are some tried and tested hacks you can use to your benefit. Let’s take a look at all the ways you can view a private Instagram account.
Your first option is to go by the book and follow the correct SOPs to get access to a private Insta-account. Simply send a Follow request, wait for the user to accept it and if you’re lucky, you will be in.
We know this is not exactly a hack. But this should be your first course of action, which is also the best one if you’re successful.
If you don’t have much time on your hands, or your request didn’t get accepted, you can try the second easiest option. This hack allows you to access photos posted by the user on Instagram.
All you have to do is type in their Instagram username into your device’s Google search engine. The results are usually shown in categories of ‘All, Images, News, and Videos’. Click the ‘Images’ section and you will probably find what you’re looking for.
The logic behind this hack is that these pictures are stored in the Google database when they were uploaded by the user with a public account. So, even if they later switched their account to private, you can still find some of the photos.
If you didn’t find anything on Google, your next best bet is to rely on more search engines. There are so many platforms like Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat. Details or links to other social media accounts can sometimes be found on their Instagram bio as well.
Checking their social media presence everywhere can easily let you find more information about them.
One pro tip we suggest is to find out if any of your friends are following the Instagram user. If so, you can always ask them to let you view the profile. And you can forward the photos you need to your own account.
