Understanding Instagram’s Privacy Settings

First and foremost, it’s essential to understand that Instagram prioritizes user privacy. When you search for someone on Instagram, the platform does not notify the person about your search. This means you can look up profiles, browse photos, and explore content without the other person being alerted.

What Instagram Tracks

While Instagram keeps your search activities private, it does track certain actions, such as:

· Profile Visits: If you visit someone’s profile, Instagram does not notify the user.

· Story Views: When you view someone’s story, they can see that you’ve viewed it.

· Direct Messages: Instagram notifies users when their messages are seen.

Here’s a handy table summarizing the different scenarios:

Additional Things to Keep in Mind

Now you know the answer: they won’t know if you search them on Instagram. However, if you want to deeply track the person you searched for, you might consider using a secure third-party tool that doesn’t require access to your Instagram account. Since Instagram removed the feature that allowed users to see others’ likes and comments directly within the app in 2019.

I recommend Dolphin Radar. It provides detailed insights and analytics without compromising your account security.

Why Use Dolphin Radar?

For a comprehensive and time-efficient method, Dolphin Radar is the best choice. Dolphin Radar is an online tool that allows you to track any public Instagram account. It provides weekly reports on activity, such as post likes, new follows, top hashtags, and the accounts they interact with the most.

Benefits of Using Dolphin Radar

· Ease of Use: No need to access the person’s phone or passwords. Just enter the Instagram handle.

· Detailed Reports: Get clear, thorough, and accurate data.

· Discreet Tracking: Dolphin Radar isn’t linked to your Instagram account, so the tracked user won’t know they’re being monitored.

Getting Started with Dolphin Radar

Step 1: Sign Up for a Dolphin Radar Account

Go to Dolphin Radar’s website and sign up with your email address.

Step 2: Purchase Your Plan

Choose a plan based on the number of accounts you want to track. Plans start at just $4.49 per month. There are three subscription options: monthly, quarterly, and annual. With the annual subscription, you pay only $2.75 per month.

Step 3: Add Accounts to Track

Click “Add Account” and enter the Instagram handle of the account you want to track. You don’t need access to their phone or Instagram password.

As long as the account is public, you’ll start receiving weekly reports, including their liked posts, new follows, and top hashtags.

Advantages of Tracking an Instagram Account with Dolphin Radar

Dolphin Radar provides benefits that manual tracking and spyware apps cannot match. First, the data you receive is detailed, precise, and reliable. Second, the tool operates with high discretion. Dolphin Radar is not connected to your Instagram account in any manner. The user won’t be aware they’re being monitored, and they won’t know specifically that you are the one tracking their activity.

Here’s an example of an activity report for Kylie Jenner’s Instagram: Kylie Jenner Activity Report.

I’ll use this example report tracking Kylie Jenner on Instagram to show you what insights you can gain from Dolphin Radar’s reports.

Overview of Someone’s Instagram Activity

Dolphin Radar offers a snapshot of someone’s Instagram activities over the past week. This includes their active time slots on Instagram, any changes in the accounts they follow (including new follows and unfollows), how many likes they’ve dished out, and the accounts they interact with the most.

Details on Likes

You’ll see a detailed list of all the likes someone has made on Instagram over the past week. This includes the accounts they liked, the number of likes, and the content of those likes. You can even click on user avatars and liked content to jump directly to the corresponding Instagram page or post.

Someone’s Instagram Interest Tags

Dolphin Radar uses big data analytics to analyze the content and accounts someone likes. Then, it displays their recent interests in a tag cloud format. When someone suddenly gets interested in stuff they never cared about before, keep an eye out!

· View past posts: You can now view your partner’s historical posts. Dolphin Radar offers a much more efficient way than checking his account post by post.

· View Top 5 Accounts With Most Comments

· View suspected accounts: Now, identify potential suspicious accounts linked to your tracked Instagram profile across Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, TikTok, and Snapchat.

· Analytics now downloadable: Download the analytics and access all data in the CSV file, including details not shown above.

Conclusion

In summary, Instagram does not allow users to see who views their profile or regular posts. While you can see who views your Stories, this feature doesn’t extend to other parts of the platform. As for tracking more in-depth activity, I recommend Dolphin Radar, which offers comprehensive insights without compromising your online safety.

Remember, online privacy is a two-way street. Just as you might be curious about who’s viewing your content, others may have the same curiosity about theirs. By understanding what is and isn’t visible on platforms like Instagram, you can navigate the social media landscape with confidence and respect for others’ privacy.
