"Au-ay-ay, I'll find you anyway!" - How to find a person in Instagram?

The search for people in the Instagram social network is carried out in several ways. The choice of method depends on the degree of awareness of the user trying to find a certain account.

The functional of the system allows you to do this, guided by several principles:

• built-in search form;
• the use of other social networks: Facebook "VKontakte":
• the ability to use the search by hashtags in the photo.

Attention! Find a person by phone number will not work.

Looking for a nickname, first and last name

Let's show how to find an account if you have information about a person's nickname in a social network. If the search procedure is performed from a mobile device, then in the lower left corner of the panel click on the icon with the magnifying glass image. Once in the search section, enter a nickname and you will see a list of profiles that fit your description.

Performing the same operation from the computer, click on the compass icon in the upper right corner. Go to the search service, specify the name and surname, if you do not know the nickname of a person in the social network.

If the user, it is true, indicated when registering, then you will find it in the list of pages with similar personal data.

Search through social networks

Using the search for a mobile device, you can find friends through Facebook or "VKontakte." Click on the icon with the silhouette of the person in the lower right corner. Once on your page, at the top right, click on the icon from the three vertically arranged points. Go to the "Options" section in the subsection "For Subscriptions", synchronize the profile with the Facebook page, having been authorized by specifying a phone number or e-mail with a password.

Just see the facebook icon next to the number of friends registered in this social network and having a profile in the Instagram. Click on this line and subscribe to the required profiles.

Similarly, if necessary, find people in your friends list on Vkontakte.

Search without registration

Having learned how to find a person in Instagram, if you do not know the nickname, we will figure out how to find the profile, having such information, but not having your own account, that is not having registered. We use for this purpose a web version of the social network, specifying in the address bar of the browser, after the domain name of the site nickname.

We will follow the link and find ourselves on the page of the person you are looking for, however, we will be truncated in the rights.

Subscribe and comment on the entries or mark them as we like they will not succeed. You can see the publications and see the comments of other users. Similarly, we will find our own account, specifying the username in the browser's search line after the domain name.

Looking for a photo

If you do not know the person's name, but were with him at one event and want to view his profile in Instagram, then try this on the hashtags that are placed on the photo. Again, go to the search service, but instead of nickname or name, enter the # icon and the name of the event, events without spaces.

Above we see four subsections:

• the best;
• users;
• labels;
• places.

Click the "Users" tab and you will see a list of people who marked the photo with the same hashtag. Identically, you can act if you want to use geolocation, which allows you to find photos on which people have marked the places of their stay. For example, a picture was taken in the heart of Russia - the Kremlin.

We see by example that we are offered a list of photographs taken in Suzdal, Kazan, Astrakhan, Pskov. We click on the first record and get access to all the pictures taken in this place.

If you were with a person here and you know that he took a picture, marking it in the geolocation, then you will certainly find the photo and profile on which it was published.

Conclusion

Instagram functionality allows you to find people with a minimum of information about them, if they have shared information about themselves or their place of business when registering or publishing posts. Using the services correctly, you can find personal and business accounts in a few clicks. The list of features for users with mobile devices is traditionally wider in comparison with people entering the site from a computer. If a person is in a social network and does not hide under another's name, you will find it.
