Do you know there are ways on how to view public Instagram photos without having to log in or sign up an account?
This post was originally published back in December 12, 2019.
With the changes, I have revised and updated the tips on how to view Instagram public profile photos.
At the point of updating this post (2024), all the tips as suggested below work perfectly fine.
Currently you cannot access or view all the public Instagram profiles without having an Instagram account.
It is similar to Pinterest.
For instance, if you go to pop superstar Beyonce Instagram page.
At the fourth row of her pictures in outlandish outfits, you can see the remark: "show more posts from beyonce".
You click on it, and you can still view more of Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter pictures.
As you scroll down to the eighth row, suddenly the white Instagram login box pops up, and a translucent layer screens over the whole page.
Now, you CANNOT view anymore free pictures from Beyonce Instagram profile.
You cannot scroll any further.
In short, you can’t lurk on Beyonce Instagram anymore unless you’re logged in with an Instagram account.
Well, you can still view all her Instagram public profile WITHOUT an account.
Yes, you do not need to have an account to view all the public profile on Instagram instantly.
There are various ways to bypass or get around to view Instagram public profiles pictures or photos without being logged in or even have an account.
Just like how you can still view Pinterest photos without having to login in or even have an account.
But there are certain setbacks with the first two methods.
Either you can view the gallery of pictures, but you cannot post comments, zoom in on photos, view stories and highlights or follow any Instagram account.
If you try do any of the above, the white login box will appear right away.
The third method is you can view the 12 latest posts, together with stories and more.
View Instagram Public Profile Photos Without An Account
With the methods recommended below, you can definitely browse or view Instagram public profile accounts.
The first two methods you can only view the images, while the the third one you can access both photos and video clips.
1. Using developer tools
This method you can view all the latest free images and some from the year last collection.
The disadvantage of this trick is you can only view all the free images in one standard size.
Go to any of the Instagram public profile which you want to view all its photos or pictures.
Scroll down to view the photos, until the sign-in pop-up box appears together with the translucent background covering the page.
Press on the F12 key of your keyboard.
Immediately the Developer Tools will appear on the page.
Click on the first icon on the left side of the Develop Tools and it changes to blue color.
Do the following sequence a couple of times, and the blurred layer and the pop-up box over the photos will disappear.
Click on the first icon of the Developer Tools, then move the mouse cursor over the pictures and click on it, then press the Delete key.
NOTE: The first few times, when your mouse cursor is over the images, it has a light blue color layer over them.
You know you have come to the last time, when the mouse cursor is over the images, before you click on the "Delete" key, it has a purplish color layer with wire fence chain link pattern as seen below.
This is the last click on the "Delete" key.
Now you can close the Develop Tools by clicking on the "X" symbol.
With the mouse roller, you keep scrolling down to view all the images.
This method you can also view each individual image or video clip.
How to view individual picture with new tab
Right click on the image, and a context menu pops up.
Click on "Open link in new tab".
It will open a new page with the selected image together with comments,
From here, if that particular has accompanied images or video clips, you can view them as well by clicking on the next arrow icon, as seen below.
2. View via no style
Similar to the first method, you can access all the latest photos together with some of the older pictures.
This tip is for Mozilla Firefox browser only.
The good thing about this trick, you can view the images in their original sizes without having to enlarge them.
Go to any of the Instagram public profile site which you like to browse.
Start scrolling, until you come to the Instagram sign in pop-up box.
Now you cannot scroll down any further to view the rest of the pictures.
Move you mouse cursor (arrow symbol) over to "View" on the menu bar, which is on the top of your computer screen.
Click on "View" and a menu-box appears.
Move your mouse cursor to "Page Style" and then move over to "No Style" and click on it
Immediately the Instagram page will change its layout design.
All the images or photos will not be properly arranged.
Even the sizes of the images are different too.
But you can still view and also download all the photos from the Instagram public profile.
NOTE: You need to scroll down slowly by either pressing the downward arrow key of your keyboard, or use the mouse roller.
And you must pause every now and then to let the images to load.
If you scroll too fast, it would hang or freezes.
Then you have to scroll back until the last visible picture, and wait.
As the picture or image continues to load, you can see the sidebar scroll icon moving upward,
3. Via ImgInn or InstaNavigation
This is the easiest way to view Instagram public profile photos and videos.
This method you can gain access to the twelve latest gallery of photos and/or video clips.
In addition, you can access individual photo, read the comments, stories, and even download the photos but not the video clips.
Go to this site called InstaNavigation.
Type in the name of the profile onto the "search users" box provided.
For instance you want to access Portuguese professional footballer Cristiano Ronaldo profile, just type Cristiano.
Then click on the "Search" button.
Instantly it pops up on the page.
To view the pictures/videos, click "Posts"
To view comments, click "Show comments" button.
8. To download the picture, click the "Download" button below the image.
NOTE: For those who encountered "Something went wrong. There's an issue and the page could not be loaded." problem, temporary you can use the InstaNavigation to access Instagram. To access Instagram, you have to wait for a few hours later.RELATED TIPS:
