Instagram has over 800 million active users, so a lot of these users likely have more than one account. To see if an Instagram user has two or more accounts, here are multiple ways to check that.
Search on Instagram and Google
Start by doing a quick Google search using the person's Instagram username. You can also use the person's full name.
For Google searches, use specific queries like "username site: instagram.com" to filter results to Instagram accounts only.
Look at Account Suggestions
Instagram’s account suggestion feature can sometimes show multiple accounts owned by the same person, especially if you have mutual followers or interactions. To locate account suggestions, open your Instagram app.
Go to the person's Instagram profile. Then, tap the person with the + sign icon.
Tap See all. You will be routed to a page that will show Instagram's suggestions of accounts that has a similar content with that profile.
Reverse Image Search
Use an image search tool, like Google Image, to find if the person's profile picture appears on another Instagram account.
Check Linked Social Media Accounts
People often use the same username across different social platforms. Try to check other social media accounts like Facebook, Twitter, or TikTok using known usernames or real names, and see if they have linked their other Instagram accounts to these platforms.
Use People Search Tools
Tools like Social Catfish, BeenVerified, and Spokeo can help you find if someone has multiple accounts. These services use details such as name, email, or images to search across multiple platforms.
Privacy and Ethical Considerations
It's important to respect privacy and conduct these searches ethically. Always remember that accessing private information without consent is not right, so regardless of intention, one should avoid intrusive methods.
