How to Use and View Instagram Without an Account

Plus reasons why you would want to

Instagram is one of the most popular social media platforms for personal and professional use. People now share more than just pictures of their pets and food on this network. So, even if you missed out on the Instagram craze, you might still need or want to access someone else’s Instagram account.

In this article, we’ll tell you what to do if you need to use Instagram but don’t have an Instagram account and which parts of other people’s accounts you can and can’t see.

What You Can See on Instagram Without an Account

When you land on the homepage, Instagram will ask you to log in or sign up for an account. Creating an Instagram profile is the only way to access all the Instagram features. Without logging into an account, you can’t browse Instagram content, view Instagram posts and stories, and interact with other Instagram users.

However, there are ways to skip the login screen by going to the profile pages directly and using third-party apps.

Here are the things you can do on Instagram without logging in:

View public profiles on Instagram.
See the information on profiles: profile name, bio, links included in bio, profile image, and the total number of posts, followers, and other accounts followed.
View post comments.
View Instagram stories.

Instagram doesn’t want anyone using their platform without registering for a profile. The features that you can use without an Instagram account are limited. It’s true that you can see some Instagram posts without an account, but you won’t be able to do much else, including any of the following:

Viewing private Instagram accounts
Liking and commenting on any Instagram posts
Zooming in on Instagram photos
Searching Instagram
Posting your content on Instagram
Networking with other Instagram users

When you try to do any of the above, you’ll get a screen prompting you to log in or sign up for an Instagram account.

Method 1: Use the Instagram Username Trick

If it so happens that you don’t have an Instagram account and still want to view profiles on Instagram, you can do so by using the username hack. Open your browser and type the Instagram website URL with the account’s username like this instagram.com/username. This will open the account’s feed for you.

There are a few downsides to this method. First, you need to know the exact username of the account you’re searching for. If you’re lucky, you can find it on Google or some social networks or learn the username of the person you’re looking for from a friend. Remember that people sometimes change their Instagram handles, and if you know someone’s username now, you’ll be able to use it to find their profile.

Another problem is that this method only works with public profiles, and you can’t use them to view private Instagram accounts.

Method 2: Use a Third-Party Tool

Another method you can use to view Instagram accounts is a third-party tool called an Instagram viewer. You can use these tools in your web browser that allow you to look into various Instagram profiles anonymously without logging in.

ImgInn

ImgInn is a free web tool that allows you to look into Instagram profiles without registering for an account. While you can’t use it to access private profiles, you’ll have no problem viewing Instagram profiles set to public. Here’s how to use Inginn to view Instagram without an account.

Open the ImgInn website in your web browser.
On the home page, you’ll find a search bar. Enter the name of the Instagram user whose page you’re trying to access. You can try using their full name in the search if you don’t know their exact username.
You’ll see a list of Instagram accounts with similar names and usernames. Select the Instagram account that you need.
You can then use ImgInn to view their Instagram profile anonymously.

ImgInn allows you to view someone’s posts, including the post caption, mentions, hashtags, and comments. Unfortunately, you can’t see the number of likes and who liked the post. However, using ImgInn you can download any photos, reels, and IGTV videos from a public Instagram account.

ImgInn also allows you to see and download a user’s tagged posts, current stories, and stories added to highlights. But, at the same time, ImgInn doesn’t show you the basic info about an Instagram user, like their bio and the total number of followers and posts.

Anon IG Viewer

If you’re after more general info about an Instagram user, you can try accessing their account using the Anon IG Viewer.

The steps for using this free Instagram viewer are similar to what we listed above. After you open the app’s website, you must enter the username of the Instagram account you’re looking for into the search bar. Although Anon IG Viewer will only give you the correct result when you enter the exact username that the person’s using on Instagram.

After that, you can access their profile, bio, and other profile information, including the number of followers and posts, active stories, and posts.

Dumpor

Dumpor is an anonymous Instagram viewer that allows you to see and do the most with other people’s Instagram profiles without having an Instagram account. This web tool is also easy to use and has a neat minimalistic interface.

To search for an Instagram profile on Dumpor, open the website and enter the username into the search bar. Aside from username, Dumpor allows you to search for Instagram profiles based on hashtags and locations. This search feature could be handy if you don’t know the Instagram handle of the person you’re searching for or in case you want to analyze Instagram profiles from a specific location or those using a particular hashtag.

Once you’ve accessed the profile page, you can see their profile image, bio, active stories, posts, and tagged posts. There are also boxes that should allow you to see the user’s Reels, Followers, and Following, but we couldn’t get them to work during testing.

Why Use Instagram Without an Account

If you don’t have an Instagram account, you might need to access the platform every once in a while for various reasons. For example, if you’re trying to analyze competition in your business niche, following your favorite blogger, or simply learning the local news.

Even when you have an active Instagram account, you may still need to use the techniques and apps we discussed in this article. Like if you want to see into someone’s account without leaving a trace or if you need to view an account of someone who’s previously blocked you on Instagram.

You can email the photos to yourself. Or, upload the photos on Google Drive, iCloud and Dropbox, then download them. But the problem with this is that this isn’t fast or efficient.

It’s a hassle to upload and download Instagram photos and videos, especially if the files are large!

The good news is there are several ways you can access post to Instagram from your PC.

You could download third-party apps or adjust your browser. You can subscribe to a premium tool like Sked (formerly Schedugram). There are various tips and tricks, each with their pros and cons.

Access Instagram without a phone via Instagram’s Web Version

Instagram lets you access its app through the desktop.

This is easy, and it doesn’t require the installation of a third-party app.

Simply go to Instagram.com and log-in to visit its web version. Here, you can view your account, browse profiles and get updates on new posts. You can like photos, comment, and minimize the browser to make it look like your mobile feed.

This method has a few limitations. You can’t upload photos via the web interface. You can’t apply filters, tag someone in a photo, or post multiple images or videos in a single post.

The good news is that there are ways to post pictures on Instagram from your desktop browsers.

Access Instagram without a phone via a web browser

There’s a way to trick Instagram into thinking you’re accessing it with a mobile device, even if you’re on a Mac or PC. Simply change the “User Agent” or the code that tells a website the browser and device you’re using. If you use Google Analytics to track the devices that visitors use, that’s the same information sent to Instagram. Here’s an example of the user agent on an iPhone:

Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 10_3_3 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/603.3.8 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/10.0 Mobile/14G60 Safari/602.1

Modern browsers have a feature that changes this information. This, in turn, lets you match the information in a mobile device and view Instagram’s mobile version. What we’re going to learn is how to manipulate this information in major browsers like Safari and Chrome.

Let’s start showing you how to post to Instagram from your computer using the Chrome browser.

Access Instagram without a phone via Chrome

First, log in to your Instagram account through Chrome.

Next, right click on the page and select “Inspect.” A new panel filled with code should appear on the right side of your screen.

Click the tablet icon on the top-left of the panel.

Your Instagram should switch to mobile view. Here’s what it should look like:

You can click the “+” icon on the bottom of the screen to upload a photo, add a caption and post. Once you’re satisfied with the post, then click share.

Access Instagram without a phone via Safari

Using a Mac? No problem!

You can easily change the user agent on Safari.

Just open the Safari browser and select Preferences.

Go to the Advanced section and check “Show Develop menu in menu bar” at the bottom.

Next, open a private window on Safari. Choose “Develop” and “User Agent” then select an IOS device. In the image below, I selected “Safari—iOS 11—iPhone.

After that, log in to your Instagram account and click the camera button at the bottom of the screen. Follow the same instructions we’ve discussed from the Chrome browser to post photos from your desktop.

Access Instagram without a phone via BlueStacks

BlueStacks is a free third-party tool. It’s designed to enable Android applications to run on desktops. There are versions for Mac and PC.

It’s a simple tool, but it gets the job done. I’ve found it to be a simple and fast option for accessing Instagram.

To get started, download and install BlueStacks here.

Launch the app and select your language. You can log-in to BlueStacks using your Google account.

Next, select the “My Apps” tab and click Search apps. Afterwards, type “Instagram” on the search bar.

You’ll be able to view the app on the Google Play tab. Click the Instagram app, select “Install” and accept the terms and conditions.

Once it is installed, BlueStacks’ size and shape will look like a smartphone’s. After that, you can log-in to Instagram to view your Instagram feed.

To post to Instagram from your computer, click the camera icon at the bottom, then select Gallery. Click the “Gallery” drop-down menu at the top left and select “Pick from Windows”. Find the photo you want to upload and click Open.

Once you’ve select a photo, click the “—>” icon on the top-right (or the “Next” icon on Bluestack’s other versions). Here, you can edit your photo and apply filters. When you’re done, click the “—>” (or the “Next” icon) again.

You can add a caption to the photo.

To finally post the photo on Instagram, click the check icon on the top-right.

Access Instagram without a phone via the Instagram App on PC

The official Instagram app is now available on Windows Store for PC.

This app has most of Instagram’s mobile features. You can use it to post photos and videos, edit with filters, combine multiple clips into one video, and post Instagram stories. You can also access Instagram Direct, discover and follow new accounts. But, other devices running Windows 10 may not support certain features. They may not have the ability to capture and upload photos and videos.

To download the Instagram app for Windows 10, go to the Windows store and type Instagram on the Search bar. Once you’ve clicked on the Instagram app, select the “Get the App” button.

After you’ve installed Instagram, launch the app and log in.

To upload a photo, click the “+” button at the bottom to open the Camera Roll page. If you don’t have the “+” button right click on the Instagram icon at the taskbar. Then choose new post and open camera roll.

If you don’t have a Camera Roll folder on your Library, you can create a folder named “Camera Roll.” Place this in your Pictures folder.

Move the image you want to upload in the Camera Roll folder. Select the photo and click next on the upper right side of the window.

Afterward, you can crop the photo, choose a filter, then click “Next.”

Click the “Write a caption…” text box to type the photo’s description. In this section, you can also tag people, add locations, and share the photo to your other social media profiles. If your social media profiles aren’t linked to your Instagram, you need to link them first to share the image.

Finally, click “Share” at the upper-right side to post the photo.

Access Instagram without a phone via Windowed

Windowed is one of the simplest options to access Instagram directly from your desktop.

Its core is a stripped down mobile browser you can use to log in to Instagram.

“Instagram already provides the functionality to upload photos through a web browser, but sadly this feature is locked to mobile web browsers only. ” Windowed Founder Felix Sun writes. “Windowed overcomes this issue by pretending to be a mobile browser, allowing you to visit the Instagram mobile website directly from your Mac or Windows PC.”

Since Windowed functions as a web browser, it does not collect your Instagram log-in info.

To get started with the app, download its PC or Mac version.

Once you’ve completed installation and logged in to Instagram, post to Instagram from your computer by clicking the “+” icon at the bottom.

You can then crop the image, add a caption and post it online.

Access Instagram without a phone via Flume

Flume is a free emulator app that lets you view or use Instagram account. It’s only available on Mac.

You can download its basic version only on their website.

It displays a small screen with a slick dark interface. Here, you can manage your account or profile and explore other profiles. But you can’t upload photos or videos unless you upgrade to its Pro version.

Once you’ve upgraded your account, you can use Flume’s Upload window to post to Instagram from your computer. Use it to upload photos and videos, write captions, tag users, set cover frames, crop, resize and much more.

Over to You

Now that you know how to post to Instagram for your computer, it’s time to experiment. Find out which method works best for you.

Here’s a recap of some of the ways you can access Instagram without a phone:

Visit Instagram’s web version

State key application: How to issue an electronic signature from a smartphone for free

Probably everyone who uses government services via the Internet has seen that most actions require an electronic digital signature. If there is no signature, please be welcome to a face-to-face appointment with a passport at the MFC or the government agency with which you interact, and this, as you understand, is not very convenient.
