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 and videos posted by you and people you’re following appear in your Feed. To get to your Feed, click in the top-left corner. Double click a post to like it! You can also go directly to a profile by visiting instagram.com/[username].

Click your username in the top-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 phone to edit your profile picture.

Some profile information isn’t visible to anyone but you. This includes your email address, phone number and sex.

When using Instagram on a web browser, tap Search at the top of the page and enter the name, hashtag or place you’re looking for. You’ll see a dropdown with the accounts, hashtags and places that best match your search.

Note: You can only search Instagram on the web when you’re logged in.

You can use Instagram on all major web browsers. To make sure you have best experience possible, we recommend using the most up-to-date version of one of the following browsers:

• Mozilla Firefox
• Safari
• Google Chrome
• Internet Explorer
• Opera

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

If your posts are set to private, your photos will be visible to people logged into Instagram who 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 posts are public, anyone can interact with them. If you want to block specific people from liking or commenting on your posts, you can block them.

If your posts are private, only the people you’ve approved as followers will be able to like or comment on your photos and videos.

Your profile will be indexed on the web, but search engines aren’t allowed to index your photos.

If you have questions about your profile in search listings, you’ll have to contact the specific search engine’s support team:

• Google
• Bing
• Yahoo
