Instagram on the Web

Discover Instagram On the Web

You can access your account on the web by going to instagram.com and logging in with your Instagram username and password. You can also view your profile by going to instagram.com/[username].
Photos posted by you and people you're following appear in your feed. To get to your photos feed, click in the upper-left corner of the page. Double click a photo to like it! You can also go directly to a profile by visiting instagram.com/[username].

Click your username in the upper-right corner and select Edit Profile to edit your public bio (your name, username, biography, and website). You'll need to go to the Instagram app on your mobile device to edit your profile picture.

Some profile information is not visible to anyone but you. This includes your email address, phone number, sex, and birthday.

Privacy & Settings

If your photos are set to public, anyone will be able to see your profile by visiting instagram.com/[your username] on the web.

If your photos are set to private, your photos will be visible only to logged-in Instagram users you've approved to follow you.

Learn more about adjusting your privacy settings. The privacy settings you set on mobile are the same as your privacy settings on the web.

If your photos are public anyone can interact with them. If you want to block specific people from liking or commenting on your photos you can block them from within the app.

If your photos are private, only those users you've approved as followers will be able to like or comment on your photos.

Your profile will be indexed on the web, but search engines are not allowed to index your photos.
