Instagram is one of the most used applications on the planet. It can be used by anyone regardless of their age due to its ease of use. But what if someone unknown gives you a follow request? Will you not be curious as to who it is? Or maybe you want to see if someone who has blocked you is still posting about you.
It is normal for us to view the profile of a person who is trying to follow you or you’re interested in following. That’s how we can judge whether that person is worth following.
Public accounts are just that, public, and so you can view their profile with ease as they are sharing that profile for the world to see. But what about private accounts? These are accounts that have made their profiles private so that only the select few who follow them are able to see their media.
Then the question arises: How do we judge if whether a private account is worth following or if we should accept their request? This is where Private Instagram Viewer apps come into play.
What are Private Instagram Viewer apps?
If you want to peruse the profile of someone who has blocked you or generally just want to know whose private account is trying to follow you, these apps allow you to anonymously view their accounts without much hassle.
Since the moral implications of these apps are conflicting, we would advise you to use these apps with caution, as you do not want to be caught spying on your exes or your co-workers. Anyone with knowledge of these apps can spy on you as well, so be vigilant.
With that out of the way, let us see the best 25 private Instagram viewer apps the world has to offer.
1. Glassagram
Glassagram allows you to view any private account with the utmost ease. Most apps contain ads or surveys to keep it running, but not this one. Enjoy browsing those private accounts with almost zero interruptions.
The app follows a premium model, which means to access the full set of utilities, one has to pay for the subscription. Since the pricing plans are somewhat affordable, you will be able to see that it is worth your money.
The monthly subscription will cost you $59.19 while the annual subscription will set you back $179.88.
Glassagram does not ask for your personal details, so you can rest assured your data is not being stolen. It is a safe and secure way to browse the private accounts you wish to know more about.
Since it is an online app, users do not need to install it on their devices.
2. PrivateInsta
PrivateInsta is a user-friendly app that allows you to view private accounts with just a few easy steps. With no sign-ups or data storing, this is an excellent option to view private accounts with all of its photos and videos.
The app does contain a human verification survey, but only because it aims to keep the bots away from the actual traffic. But yes, it does get a bit tedious.
The really good part about this app is that it is completely free of cost. All features are available without any subscription.
The app does not require an app installation, meaning you can view those private accounts anywhere on any device without much difficulty.
3. IGLookup
A quick and seamless app, IGLookup allows even the most technologically un-savvy individuals the ability to look up a private profile with ease.

IGLookup is also a fast way to peruse private accounts anonymously. It is also free of cost.

It has a simple setup process but does require you to install the app on the mobile devices you want to monitor. It also will need root access or jailbreaking to get the most functionality, as some of its features are locked until then.
5. mSpy
mSpy is also a parental control software that allows for monitoring Instagram accounts without alerting the other person. It also has a wide array of features such as tracking location, monitoring call logs and messages, and most important for this list, social media.

Conclusion

Whichever app you use from this list, beware and be cautious of the repercussions that could be felt if you ever get caught doing something illegal. Some of these apps could very well be illegal in your country. Please read all the terms and conditions for these apps before using them.
