Instagram is very concerned about user privacy and this might be the reason why it doesn’t allow users to view other’s profile picture in full size. You cannot also zoom in or enlarge the DP like in other social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter.
Fortunately, there are some methods which you can use to view the full-size profile picture of any user on Instagram even if it has a private account. You can also download/save the Instagram DP on your phone. We will discuss these methods in this tutorial. Let’s get started!
