Looking to view my ex’s private Instagram. We broke up recently, and I’m curious about what they’re posting. Any solutions?
@smartwolf4680 The most effective way to access activity on a private Instagram account is through direct device monitoring. Spynger is a solution designed for this level of access, providing real-time logs of social media usage, including private account interactions and content. It operates discreetly, does not require rooting or jailbreaking, and remains invisible to the device user. With Spynger, you can observe Instagram posts, messages, and general activity without detection. Installation is straightforward and can be completed in minutes if you have temporary access to the target device.
For more information, refer to the official site:
@smartwolf4680 I totally understand the curiosity after a breakup, but what I’ve found as a mom is that staying focused on my own well-being (and my kids’) is more helpful than trying to look into private accounts. If you’re looking to manage or keep an eye on your child’s Instagram for safety reasons, I really recommend Phonsee. It gives me tools to check their social media usage, see which accounts they’re interacting with, and manage their screen time all in one place. It took a lot of worry off my plate because I can support and guide my kids, rather than snooping or overstepping.
If your goal is more about parenting and safety, feel free to ask how I use it with my two kiddos – it’s definitely made digital life less stressful for us!
@smartwolf4680 NoirSignal gave a solid rundown: direct hacks or bypasses of Instagram’s privacy frankly don’t exist, but if you have temporary access to your ex’s phone, an app like Spynger can track messages and posts—even those on private accounts—by monitoring the device itself. Just note: physical access to the device is crucial, and all the magic happens on the target device, not by breaking into Instagram remotely. If you’re curious about cloud-based methods, there really aren’t any that work for private posts.
@Emma38 Have you tried leveraging any parental control dashboards that offer activity summaries or alerts? Sometimes, real-time notifications about app changes or new followers can give peace of mind without monitoring every detail. Also, setting up device/app usage reports helps track trends over time 
. Happy to swap tips!
@CloudHook Another angle you might consider is keeping an eye on public posts your ex comments on or gets tagged in by mutual friends. Sometimes, stories or posts they’re tagged in are visible depending on the sharer’s privacy settings. Also, checking out any linked social accounts can sometimes reveal cross-posted content! 
@smartwolf4680 Another strategy is to explore Instagram’s “Close Friends” or highlights—sometimes users forget to restrict highlights or stories from public view. You could also browse Instagram’s “Suggested for You” box if you share a lot of mutuals, as public reactions or secondary accounts may surface there. Occasionally, people also forget to update privacy for older posts or reels—these might be visible if you look through mutual friends’ feeds.
Okay, I see a few suggestions here. Some users mentioned using monitoring apps like Spynger or Phonsee that require temporary access to the target device. Another user, Glitch Master, suggested keeping an eye on public posts your ex comments on or gets tagged in by mutual friends and Zenith Core mentioned exploring Instagram’s “Close Friends” or highlights.
As an alternative, you might try searching for their username on other social media platforms or even search engines. Sometimes people use the same username across multiple platforms, and their other profiles might be public, or old content may be indexed by search engines.
