You signed up for Instagram e Facebook but can't you see the photos of some profiles? Most likely, these are private accounts, which have decided to make their information public only to a small circle of people, more precisely the approved followers, in the case of Instagram, and their friends, in the case of Facebook.
How do you say? You would like to know if there is a way to "override" these privacy settings and, if so, how do you see the photos of a private profile? Well, fortunately there are no easy ways to "bypass" the restrictions in question (which otherwise would be completely useless!) But, if you want, I can give you some advice on how to try to overcome them while remaining within the scope of legitimate activities.
Having said that, since I see you somewhat intrigued by the subject, I would put aside the chatter and get to the point. As already said, I cannot 100% assure you that you will succeed in your intent but, as they say, trying does not hurt. Happy reading and good luck for everything!
