Instagram is one of the largest social media platforms globally, where you can share family photos, food shots, or funny cat videos.
However, not everyone wants to create an Instagram account. If you prefer not to have an account but still want to keep up with your friends and family’s posts, you can search for information on current Instagram users without logging in. Follow this guide to view Instagram accounts without an account or login.
Do you need an Instagram account to view Instagram?
Yes, you need an Instagram account to use the Instagram app on Android and iPhones and access the home page. However, you can still view Instagram profiles without an account using an internet-connected device and a web browser.
How to view an Instagram profile without an account
Follow these steps to view an Instagram profile without being logged into an Instagram account:
Step 1: Enter https://www.instagram.com/username in any web browser on a computer or mobile device, replacing username with the profile name you want to find.
Step 2: Tap on a photo or video on the profile, or right-click/press and hold on the image.
Step 3: Click on Open Image in New Tab to view the selected image without logging in.
Step 4: View the image or video and scroll down to read comments on the post.
If you don’t have an Instagram account, you can only view profiles and not interact with posts. While having an account offers more features, viewing profiles without one is possible if all you want to do is browse.
