We’ve all been there. You’re scrolling through IG, checking out other profiles, when you run into a private Instagram account. You want to know more about this person’s account or posts without sending a follow request. Now you’re wondering, “Is there another way to view private Instagram accounts?”

Luckily, we’ve got all the answers to your question. Keep reading to learn about private Instagram pages, how to view them, what not to use, and more.

What Is a Private Instagram Profile?

Instagram’s private mode is available to all personal accounts, whether you’re a regular Jane/Joe or a well-known personality. When you set your profile to private mode, only your followers can view, like, and comment on your posts.

 You also control who follows your account since you confirm or reject follow requests. Additionally, you can switch to public mode at any time. With a public Instagram account, anybody on the app can view and freely follow your posts. 

Business accounts, however, are always public. Any Instagram user can follow you and see, like, and comment on your posts. If you wish to make your account private, switch it back to a personal account.  

Unlike Facebook, Instagram’s private or public mode applies to the entire account, not individual photos or posts. If you have a private account, you can’t set the visibility of specific posts to the public. If you have a public profile, you can’t make the visibility of select posts private. 

프로필을 비공개 또는 공개 모드로 설정하기 전에 장단점을 고려하세요. 다음은 스스로에게 물어볼 몇 가지 질문입니다:

  • 개인정보 보호를 얼마나 중요하게 생각하시나요?
  • What’s the purpose of your Instagram account?
  • 전혀 모르는 사람이나 잘 모르는 사람이 나를 팔로우하고 내 게시물을 보거나 반응하는 것을 신경 쓰시나요? 

그렇다고 해서 한 가지 옵션을 선택했다가 나중에 전환하고 싶다고 해서 세상이 끝나는 것은 아닙니다. 원할 때 언제든지 두 모드 사이를 쉽게 전환할 수 있습니다. 두 가지 모드를 모두 사용해보고 자신에게 가장 적합한 모드를 찾아보세요.

Why Make Your Instagram Account Private

Making your Instagram private is the best way to protect your content. By selecting private mode, you know who sees your photos, videos and other media. Putting up this wall lowers the chances of your information falling into the wrong hands. This is especially important for protecting young adults and teens from predators or other bad actors.

하지만 모든 사람이 자신의 계정을 비공개로 하고 싶어하는 것은 아닙니다. 예를 들어 5분 안에 1,000명의 팔로워를 확보하려면 계정을 계속 공개해야 합니다. 이렇게 하면 다른 사람들이 내 콘텐츠를 더 쉽게 발견할 수 있습니다.

Reasons to View Private Instagram Accounts

Before we get into the fine details of how to view private Instagram accounts, let’s talk about the “why.” Why would someone see a private Instagram account and want to dig deeper? Sometimes, the answer is simple. 

You recently joined Instagram, or you just saw a profile of someone you know. IG is a social platform; you want to connect with that person and their content. But let’s say this isn’t the case. If you’re the one trying to gain access to someone’s Instagram feed, here are some questions to ask yourself:

  • 이 비공개 계정을 보는 것이 내 안전이나 마음의 평화에 필수적인가요?
  • 이 사람의 페이지에 진심으로 관심이 있어서 확인하고 싶은가요?
  • 이 사람을 알고 있고 앱에서 친구가 되고 싶은가요?
  • 이 비공개 콘텐츠를 보는 것이 업무에 중요한가요?
  • Will viewing private Instagram profiles benefit the account owner or me?

Why Shouldn’t You View Private Instagram Pages 

Let’s look at the other side of the coin. What are the scenarios in which you should leave an Instagram profile private?

  • 해당 사용자를 모르는 경우. 이 사람과 연결이 없는 경우 해당 페이지를 그대로 두세요.
  • Many people create a private Instagram account because they don’t want the public to see their photos and videos. If they haven’t asked you to look at their page, respect their wishes.
  • Viewing the private Instagram will hurt your mental health or the mental health of the other person.
  • 프로필 소유자가 자신의 페이지를 보거나 팔로우 요청을 보내지 말아 달라고 요청했습니다.

Is There a Legitimate Way To View an Instagram Private Profile?

You can view an Instagram private profile by becoming a follower — given that they approve your follow request. Following a private account is the only legitimate way to view and interact with their posts. Whether or not they confirm your follow request will depend on two factors:

  • 상대방이 나를 얼마나 잘 알고 있는지.
  • 개인 정보를 얼마나 소중히 여기는지. 

상대방이 나를 그저 평범한 지인으로 여긴다고 가정해 봅시다. 상대방이 개인정보 보호에 크게 신경 쓰지 않는다면 원하는 계정에서 접근 권한을 허용할 수 있습니다. 모르는 사람이고 상대방이 자신의 서클을 가족과 친구로 제한한 경우, 팔로우 요청을 확인하지 않습니다. 즉, 상대방의 비공개 게시물을 볼 수 있는 방법이 없다는 뜻입니다. 

Some celebrities, for example, create one account for public consumption and another just for people they know. This second account is a “Finsta” or Fake Instagram account. If you’re a fan, you can only follow them via their public profile. Their private Instagram profile is off-limits to the public. You may have to find other ways to take a peek to learn more about their private life.

Other Methods To View a Private Instagram Account

솔직히 말씀드리겠습니다. 비공개 Instagram을 보는 방법에 대해 Google 검색을 하는 경우 "팔로우"를 누르고 싶지 않으실 거라는 것을 알고 있습니다. 또는 그럴 수 없으니 우회하는 방법을 원할 수도 있습니다. 바로 이 지점에서 온라인 스토킹의 영역에 들어갑니다.

온라인 스토킹은 오늘날 소셜 미디어 시대에 널리 퍼져 있을 수 있지만 이는 올바른 행동이 아닙니다. 물론 유명 인사들도 사생활 침해는 당연한 일이라는 것을 잘 알고 있습니다. 그럼에도 불구하고 창의적이고 기만적인 방법을 통해 개인 계정에 액세스하는 것은 용납할 수 없습니다. 이는 일반 개인의 비공개 계정도 마찬가지입니다. 

That said, there are other ways to view a private Instagram account. With few exceptions, we don’t recommend that you try most of these methods. Why? Because some of them directly violate Instagram’s terms of service. 

이러한 방법을 따라 다른 사람의 비공개 사진을 보면 일시 정지, 차단 또는 차단 조치를 당할 수 있습니다. 가장 일반적인 수법은 다음과 같습니다. 

임시 IG 계정에 대한 새 ID 만들기

The most common solution for viewing private Instagram profiles is to create a fake account. Use this method when you know the person you want to follow won’t approve a follow request from you.

They might let you in if they’re not sensitive about strangers seeing their private Instagram photos and Instagram stories. However, creating a fake IG account won’t work if they’re highly cautious about who they let view their private Instagram.

중복 계정 만들기

Another type of fake Instagram profile that you can create is a duplicate account. I.e., impersonating another user. Disclaimer: we highly discourage this method. Nevertheless, countless individuals engage in this practice to view private Instagram accounts. 

이 전략은 어떻게 작동하나요? 먼저 대상 계정을 식별합니다. 즉, 보고자 하는 비공개 계정을 파악합니다. 그런 다음, 모든 소셜 미디어 계정에서 해당 계정의 네트워크와 활동을 조사합니다. 다른 사람의 게시물에 대한 좋아요와 댓글, 심지어 태그된 공개 사진까지 조사할 수 있습니다. 

Second, identify the desired Instagram profile you want to impersonate. This profile should be someone they know and interact with but who isn’t their best friend. You want to pick someone your target won’t immediately text to confirm the identity of your duplicate account.

Pick your candidate and save their profile picture to your device. Then, use this photo to create a new profile. Copy and paste anything in their bio to this fraud account’s bio. Once you complete the identical profile, send a follow request to the targeted private Instagram account.

때때로 이 트릭은 효과가 있습니다. 하지만 잠시 동안만 가능합니다. 결국 원래 접근을 원했던 사용자가 알아채게 됩니다. 이런 일이 발생하면 해당 사용자가 나를 노출, 차단 및 신고할 가능성이 높습니다. 이는 온라인 세상 밖에서의 생활에 중대한 영향을 미칠 수 있습니다. 하지만 그런 일이 발생하기 전에 해당 사용자의 프로필과 게시물을 잘 살펴볼 수 있습니다.

If the person is shrewd, they may spot the fake account immediately, and the faker’s mission would fail. Their target will block the account and report it to Instagram.

Google 검색 수행

Did you know you can use Google Images to view private IG pages? If the target profile used to have a public account, then you can find it on Google. Google indexes public Instagram posts. So when you do a Google Image search, you may find some old, public posts. Just Google search your target’s current username and/or real name. 

다른 소셜 미디어 플랫폼에서 검색 수행

Sometimes, you have to move on to another app. If you can’t view private Instagram accounts of your choosing, check out the rest of their online presence. Usually, Instagram users also have accounts on other social media platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok. If you are still looking for your target on IG, you can hunt for their other social media accounts. Hit the search bar of these other apps with their IG username or real name.

물론 다른 소셜 페이지도 제한했을 가능성은 항상 존재합니다. 하지만 이 방법은 시도해 볼 가치가 있습니다. 비윤리적인 방법을 사용하지 않고도 상대방의 일상을 엿볼 수 있습니다. 

친구의 계정을 통해 엿보기

Not every Instagram account ends up on the wrong side of a private Instagram profile. What do we mean by that? We mean, ask your friends. If you and your target have mutual friends and these friends already follow your target, you’ve got an in. Try asking your pal if they let you view your target’s profile using their account.

If you and this individual are close, ask them to send you screenshots of your target’s Instagram content. A word of caution: make sure your friend won’t tell your target about your plan. You don’t want to blow your cover.

계정 소유자에게 직접 문의

Call us old-fashioned, but if you want to view private Instagram profiles, you should talk to the people behind them. We know, we know. You probably have your reasons for not wanting to communicate with the private Instagram owners. But if it’s not a risk to your safety, try reaching out in person. Talk out your issues with them or get to know them in real life. That’ll give you more insight than anything on their IG.

타사 앱 사용

Here we come to the last way to view private Instagram accounts: the private Instagram profile viewer. An Instagram viewer app promises to grant you complete, confidential, undetectable access to another IG user’s page. There are a lot of third-party apps that offer “Instagram private profile viewer tools.”

You should be wary of these apps, as most do not work as advertised. Just like with Instagram story viewer apps, web viewers for Instagram, and apps to see who views your IG. Scammers design them to infect devices with malware or ransomware. Others may just take your money if you’re lucky or, worse, steal your data.

How To Make Your Instagram Account Private?

개인정보 보호를 중요하게 생각하여 프로필에 대한 액세스를 제한하고 싶다면 계정의 공개 설정을 비공개로 설정하세요. 개인정보 설정을 우회할 수 있는 방법을 찾는 사람들은 항상 존재합니다. (즉, 위에서 언급한 방법 중 하나 또는 모두를 시도할 수 있습니다. 새로운 팔로우 요청을 승인하기 전에 각별히 주의하세요.) 하지만 이렇게 하면 대부분의 사람들을 필터링할 수 있고 누가 나를 보고, 댓글을 달고, 마음에 들어요를 누르고, 공유하거나, 쪽지를 보낼 수 있는지 제어할 수 있습니다.

계정을 비공개로 전환하려면 다음 단계를 따르십시오.

  1. Instagram 앱을 실행합니다. 
  2. 오른쪽 하단에 있는 프로필 사진의 작은 아이콘을 탭합니다. 
  3. 프로필 페이지에서 페이지 상단의 가로줄 세 개를 누릅니다. "설정"을 탭합니다.
  4. 계정 설정 옵션에서 "개인 정보 보호" 버튼을 누릅니다. 
  5. 상단에는 '계정 개인정보'와 그 바로 아래에 '공개/비공개 계정' 옵션이 표시됩니다.
  6. Your account is public if the button is gray (set to the left). Tap on the button to put it to the right. It will turn blue, which means you’ve turned your Instagram account private

What To Do Instead of Trying To View Private Instagram Accounts

Trying a private Instagram viewer or other shady methods to view private Instagram accounts is tempting. But here’s what we recommend instead: focus less on the profiles you can’t see and more on those you can. Even better, direct your attention to your own page and growth. This way, you’ll get more out of the app and might even find a new source of business.

최종 생각

If your Instagram account is personal, it’s always best to keep it private. If you want to know what someone’s posting, send them a request. If you can’t do that, search for them on Google and other social media platforms. 

Other methods are deceptive and unethical. Remember that any unethical behavior can get you blocked by your target individual and even banished from Instagram.
