Suppose you heard about someone new or met someone and now you want to know more about them. Their lifestyle, choices, hobbies and the things they love. In this modern day, the best way to do so is by stalking their social media profile. But what if their account is Private. There are many ways to view private Instagram profiles and they are as follows:

By Following Them on Instagram: To view private Instagram profiles using this method do this:

• Open Instagram and click on the ‘Search icon’.
• Search for the profile you want to view in the ‘Search Bar’.
• Click the Profile you want follow.
• Open it and click on ‘Follow’.
• A follow request is sent and when the person accept it, only then you can view private Instagram profiles of that person completely.

By Using Google: you can type the name or username of the person you are looking to search for in Goggle’s search bar and search for them. Now, remember that it will not give you a view of the person’s entire Instagram account but might contain some of their pictures and the link to their other profiles. This is also an easy and reliable method to get some more information about the person and view private Instagram profiles to a limit.

Viewing Through Friends: easy way to view private Instagram profiles is using your friend’s account.

Using Instagram Viewer Sites: One of the other methods to view private Instagram profiles is by using Instagram Viewer sites such as Instaspy, Private Instagram Viewer, IG Lookup. Sites like these promise to view private Instagram profiles completely and with full anonymity but, from the use of them and accessing their sites once or twice, they ask you to fill surveys, take extra steps, sometimes ask for payments. They look like they come from shady background so we do not recommend you using them as they might take your personal info and cause some damage.

Using Non-Legitimate Ways:

There are some shady ways to view private Instagram profiles as well. But these way are not recommended to use as they might have some consequences. Some of these ways are:

The Lazy way

This is the method to view private Instagram profiles, you create a fake account with a new name, email address and personalize it. Do this and then send a membership request to the group. This is method that is used by spammers of Instagram and each device can have up to five separate terminals.

Once you have a new account, send a DM or request to the private account you want to view. Warn the person that a new member is coming. If you have been denied the access to the account for a month or more, registration must be approved to not blow the cover that it is your advertising account.

This method is very easy and also mostly does not work. Also, we do not recommend doing this.

The Trojan Horse

This method can be a tad more effective than other shady ones. In this process to view private Instagram profiles, you have to go through a trouble of creating a fake profile and then send a request to the person whose account you want to view. Make sure that your profile has some pictures and followers and look like real. This will make it convincing to believe that a real person is using that account.

This method requires some investing and energy. But if it works out well, the person may accept your follow request after all and let you view their account.

The Doppelganger

In this method, you create a fake account of someone that the person is following. This makes it look more real and there is certainty that the person will accept a request from a new account of their friend.

If this method is done right, it will work for sure. But in case someone finds out and reports it, you might get banned from Instagram and it is also illegal to do so. So, copying someone else’s identity can and will charge you with identity theft.
