Step 3: Check people who have no DP

Now, on the following list, you have to shortlist the people who do not have DP, that is, have no display picture or say no profile picture on their Instagram profile.

Scroll down the following list, slowly, and observe which accounts do not have a display picture. It is not always that the person who does not have a display picture is inactive, but in most cases, this is true, rarely, 5 to 8% of active users remove their profile picture or do not keep it at all.

Hence, this criterion is the best to find out who is inactive on Instagram. To validate, the inactive user, consider the next factor, i.e., posts.

Step 4: Look out for posts

Next, after shortlisting the people who do not have display pictures, now, open those users’ accounts and check the posts. If there are zero posts and a fewer number of posts like 1 or 2, that too, posted years back, then, this indicates, that the person is inactive on Instagram.

What you have to do is, open the no-display picture of people’s accounts, one by one, and see the number of posts. Those people who have zero to 1 or 2 posts, dated years back, are inactive users.
