What You Can Do on Instagram Without an Account

Viewing Instagram without an account is possible, but quite limited. Here's what you can do on Instagram without an account:

• View profiles. If you know the profile name, you can check the user's profile information as well as see any links they may have in their bio.
• View images and videos. It's possible to click on an image or video to see the content. 
• See comments. It's possible to read comments left by registered users.
• Browse anonymously. Instagram's algorithm means it can suggest related accounts based on what you've looked at. When not logged in, there's no way of your activity being traced.

Without an Instagram account, you will face some limitations. Here's what you can't do without an Instagram account:

• Post comments. It's not possible to leave comments or even likes on a photo or video.
• Follow an account. There's no way of following an account anonymously. You need to be registered to follow someone.
• Privately message a user. Without an account, it's impossible to privately message someone.
• Search for a profile. Unless you use a third-party website, there is no way of searching Instagram without being logged in. 

Instagram is free, so if you're still having trouble finding and viewing the account you want to see it might be worth a few minutes of time to sign up.
