This is a new change? It's been like that for me ever since I knew of Instagram. You browse two or three images and plop you get a sign up screen.

- hdra 7y agoI don't know if theres been any recent change, but not too long ago, login is only required to view Instagram stories. Then they changed it to block location-tagged postings too. Which is a bummer, since I liked to use the webbrowser to browse location-tagged Instagram posts to discover places to eat at. I haven't used it much since, not sure if they added additional restrictions for non-signed-up users recently.
- est31 7y agoOh nvm, I confused it with pinterest lol. I can't edit the post above any more. It's sad in general if platforms require accounts to view content.
- landcoctos 7y ago> Then they changed it to block location-tagged postings too. Which is a bummer Yes this was a bummer too. I used it all the time. Now I use hashtags which aren't as effective and I'm sure they'll shut that down too. O well, nothing useful really lost.
- woutr_be 7y agoDefinitely a new change, just last week I could look at user profiles without having to be logged in. Right now, it shows me an overlay asking me to log in.
