    How can you see a post of a private account without following them?
    Community Answer

    If they have profiles on other social media sites that aren't private, you can probably see their Instagram content reposted (or just similar content) there. Without hacking, there isn't a way to sneak into someone else's private profile.

    My account is private. Why am I getting the same celebrity requests 15 times a day? It says "@official."
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Those are fake accounts/impersonators. A real celebrity wouldn't spam a private user with follow requests, especially since they are too busy to respond to anyone, let alone complete strangers. Also, an actual celebrity account will have a verified check icon next to their username. Just deny, block and report the offending users.
