You can also create a fake Instagram account to see the hidden photos of an Instagram user. On your fake account, you need to use a fake username and a fake profile photo so that the user doesn’t know your real identity. Then use your fake account to first follow the private account of the user whose hidden photos you want to see.

Make a Fake Account

Wait for the user to accept your follow request. Once the user approves your follow request you’ll be able to become a follower of the user after which you’ll be able to see his hidden pictures from his Instagram account. This method will help you to check the hidden photos at the same time the user won’t be able to find out that you’ve checked it too since you’re using a fake account to follow him.
