How can I track Instagram activity without following someone?

Can I see their posts, stories, or interactions like comments and likes if their account is public?

Are there any indirect ways to track their Instagram activity without following them?

If an account is public, some activity can indeed be viewed without subscribing, though much depends on the profile's specific settings. Posts and stories may be directly accessible, but things are more complicated when it comes to likes and comments, as not all that information is displayed in a single place.

If a profile is public, you can view standard posts and stories directly through the app, but when you need a more complete overview without leaving a trace or logging in with your personal account, the standard features may not be enough for convenient monitoring. In this case accountviewer.org can be useful because it allows you to browse content, stories, and recent updates from public profiles without subscribing, helping you remain anonymous.
