🏷 Public profile:

Mainly, celebrity, influencers, and brands keep their Instagram profiles public. To see the activity of such people, you do not need to send any follow requests, you can directly go to the search bar & find the person and then can see their Instagram activities i.e. videos or images that he has posted on his Instagram profile.
