How our guides are made
Articles are reviewed for accuracy against current Instagram functionality before publication, and we revisit them when Instagram changes how a feature works. Each guide shows when it was first published and when it was last updated. We only describe methods that work with public information; we do not publish instructions for accessing private accounts or bypassing Instagram's security.
