Currently, Instagram does not allow users to see who has visited their profile. Instagram’s privacy policy ensures that users remain anonymous unless they comment, like, view stories, or interact with another profile.
Hackers can gain access to other profiles in various ways. They may try different password combinations using specific applications or use phishing sites to steal private information through email.
To identify a fake Instagram account, consider the following:
- Check the number of followers and following.
- Be cautious of profiles with suspicious giveaways and few posts.
- Pay attention to incomplete or poorly curated bios.
- Check if the posts are regularly updated.
- Read the content of the posts rather than just relying on images.
Instagram notifications can have a temporary block of 24 hours. However, if an account is repeatedly blocked by the application, it may face a more severe suspension lasting up to 48 or 72 hours.
