How Instagram usernames work
Instagram usernames are unique and appear in profile URLs and @handles. Users can change handles over time, so older usernames may no longer match a current profile.
Typical profile URL: https://www.instagram.com/
Tips for finding accounts
Try common variations with periods or underscores and check both current and older handles if you suspect a username change.
Common limitations
Private accounts hide posts and follower lists. Display names are not unique and can differ from the actual username.
