Create a clone app
If you want to view Instagram posts anonymously without ditching the app’s interface, create a throwaway account. You can either control a throwaway profile using the email registered with your primary account or create a new account altogether using a new email. If you want to choose the latter option, we recommend creating a clone app for Instagram. Go to Settings>Apps>App Cloner and turn on the toggle switch next to Instagram. Once you’ve set up a new account, you can view any profile without using your primary account.
Pros
- Don’t have to leave Instagram’s interface
- Let’s you engage with Instagram posts anonymously
Cons
- Takes extra effort
