Using Instagram without an account
Instagram only works in a web browser without registration. On the official iPhone or Android app, you'll be forced to sign up right away. If you try using a mobile browser, you won't get very far because Instagram will redirect you to the app.
The following functions are available in the web browser without an Instagram account:
Access public profiles: You can directly access Instagram pages of celebrities, companies, or influencers as long as they're not set to private. To do this, enter https://www.instagram.com/[profile name] in the address bar.
View posts and comments: Open a post by right clicking "Open in new tab." Initially, a login window will appear, but you can close it by clicking on the small X at the top. The prompt will then disappear, allowing you to read the post and comments as normal.
Retrieve stories (with a diversion): Instagram blocks Stories if you don't have an account, but you can view them anonymously through third-party websites or specialized viewers.
Not possible without an account:

And Williams-Lucas wanted to roll out beaconing technology, in which the network gathers information about customer in-store activity via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, and can send discount offers to a customer's phone based on where they are in the store and what they appear to be interested in.
