I don’t know about you, but I hate it when Instagram tells me, “Hey, this account is private.”It makes me wanna scream, like, “Hey Zuckerberg, I need to view this profile right now.”
Once upon a time, I had this girl I was crushing on. I came to Instagram to look up her page, only to find that it was private. I was pissed to the teeth. I’m guessing you, too, have had your fair share of run-ins with private accounts.
Don’t stress about it. Since my experience with that girl, I’ve dedicated my life to developing hacks to break into “private Instagram accounts.”
Read on to find out what I have for you.
By the way, you can check this site to buy Instagram followers. There you’ll find strictly genuine, human followers.
Hacks to view private Instagram accounts instantly
1. Send a Follow request
First of all, let’s go with the oldest trick in the book: to follow the person.
When you send a Follow request to a private account, you have to wait for the owner to accept the request before you can view their profile.
If you’re in luck, and the person happens to be online around the time you send the request, then they may accept, and you will be able to view their profile right away. If not, you may have to wait until they come online.
Personally, I don’t like this trick but let’s pretend to be good boys for a sec and play by Instagram’s rules. At least, this is how they would want us to view the profile of a private account.
2. Call on Google for help
Perhaps you’ve waited a few seconds, and the other person has yet to accept your request. No problem. Head to your Chrome or Safari and enter the person’s username into the search bar.
Usually, when an account owner makes their profile private, Google has a library of their old posts. That is, posts they made when their account was still public.
Once the search page loads, your search results will be displayed in terms of “All,” “Images,” “News,” and “Videos.” Click the image tab. This should display a collection of that person’s public posts and profile pictures.
If you’re simply looking for a photo of them to use in a picture frame or on a birthday cake, this trick seems like a good one to go with.
3. Search other platforms
If someone has made their IG account private, and you’re serious about viewing their profile, then go ahead and check their Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, Snapchat, Pinterest, etc.
If you don’t know their full name, check their Instagram bio.
By scouring through other platforms, you just might find as many photos of the person or details about them as you need.
4. View through a friend
Often, you may have a friend (or a friend of a friend) who’s already following the person. If you do, ask them if they can check out the account and then save and forward the person’s posts to you.
How do you know if you have friends who are already following the person?
Simply ask via your Whatsapp status.
