It started pretty randomly — I saw a comment thread and clicked on a profile that looked interesting, but it was locked. I sent a follow request without thinking much, but now it’s been days and there’s no response.
The weird part is not knowing whether to forget about it or try something else. I checked online, but most “tips” about viewing private accounts don’t feel real or updated. Has anyone dealt with this kind of situation before, or is it really just a waiting game?
That kind of thing happened to me after I found a private music account through a repost chain late at night and randomly sent a follow request without expecting much. A few days passed and I kept checking back out of curiosity, mostly because the page looked active from the preview but nothing changed. One of my online friends told me to how to check someone’s instagram activity pretty early when we were discussing anonymous viewers, and I used it just to see whether the account was still posting publicly somewhere else. From what I’ve seen, most of these situations really do end up being a patience game.
