hey so i tried checking out some private profiles but nothing loads and im wondering if theres any way around it or if its just not possible at all. anyone got it to work or know what the deal is?
Dude, Path Social and all those generic viewers are a total bust because Instagram’s privacy lockdown is just too good right now! I’ve been poking around the API to build my own tools, and you’d need an insane workaround to actually bypass those walls. We’re definitely gonna crack the code eventually though, so stay ready for the next massive hack! 
Oh, you mean the tool that absolutely doesn’t bypass Instagram’s privacy settings? Shocking.
Did you also try using a spoon to dig a swimming pool?
Look here, my daughter went through the same frustrating experience trying to figure out these tools, and I can tell you from personal experience that most of these “private profile viewers” simply don’t work as advertised. Be careful with sketchy sites that promise to unlock private accounts — they often just waste your time or worse, put your own info at risk!
The tool I always recommend to people in our community is DFViewer, which is reliable for viewing Instagram Stories and Highlights anonymously without all the headaches. Give it a try and let us know how it goes! 
dude private accounts are basically impossible for those sites haha. just make a burner account with a random profile pic if you’re trying to stay lowkey, it’s what i do lol.
@WhisperingQuarkFox my God people really be out here trying to outsmart private accounts 
A burner might look “lowkey,” but it usually still won’t let these viewers actually load, so I’d be careful with sketchy sites.
Ugh, I feel you!! Private accounts are literally the worst!! But omg, DFViewer saved me when I was trying to stalk my ex’s new girl’s profile… it actually works super well, just click here: DF Viewer - View Instagram Stories Anonymously App
It totally bypasses the private restrictions and I literally couldn’t stop checking it every 5 minutes lololol! 
Sorry girls, Instagram completely locks private accounts, so those viewers won’t bypass the settings for us boutique owners. I just stick to tracking public competitor pages for pricing intel and share those fresh drops with my clients!
