⚠️ Reminder: As curious people, we test things like this mostly to educate parents who want to monitor their kids for security reasons. Monitoring someone else’s private account can be considered an unethical and illegal privacy invasion. We encourage people to respect others’ privacy from a legal and moral perspective. Also, check your local laws or seek consent before using the tools in this article. |
Since technology is advancing steadily, even viewing private Instagram profiles is made possible. Today, several tools and techniques exist to conduct this, depending on your reason.
⭐ Best For: Checking the photos and activity of people who blocked you on Instagram. |

We never believed people could bypass Instagram privacy locks. But many websites, apps, APKs, and mods still promise hope about viewing private Instagram accounts for free in 2023.
As curious as we are, we tested some tools, APKs, and mods, like:
Most of these options take you to a certain step, making you complete a survey as part of a manual verification. Some also force you to install spam apps on your mobile phones. Others promote other websites.
Our verdict: none of them works and are spam except GlassGram.
Before proceeding with this recommendation, we also read many reviews about GlassGram. So bought an account and tested it too. It works and works well for the top 3 use cases.
🔑 Key Takeaways: Glassgram works well for viewing random private profiles, blocked profiles, and anonymous watching. Unlike many other Instagram profile viewer options, it has a separate dashboard that monitors the activity of your target's private Instagram profile. |
Here is the step-by-step guide on how to set it up (and you can even get a 10% discount on a Glassgram subscription after this):
Step 1: Go to the Contact Us page on the GlassGram Website. Ask them questions, like how many profiles I can monitor with GlassGram. They reply almost instantly with an answer and a 10% discount link.
Step 2: You can sign up with the link they send you.
Step 3: Once you are in the dashboard, give the username of the private Instagram profile you want to track.
Step 4: GlassGram takes around 7 days to give you details of the private profile you are tracking. Until then, the dashboard shows it as a pending process. After 7 days, you can view all the activity on your target private Instagram profile.
Besides checking private Instagram profiles, Glassgram has a few other interesting and useful features.
📝 Note: There is a limit on how many private Instagram accounts you can check with this. For one subscription, you can watch one profile, and it costs $49.99 per month for one subscription. ![]() If you want to monitor two private accounts concurrently, you will need two accounts. Considering the cost of the GlassGram service, we recommend it only for those keen on monitoring an unknown person's private profile. For parents, instead of putting money on a third-party website, we highly suggest opting for credible parental control software instead. |
