Is there any legitimate way to access someone’s Instagram account without knowing their password, for example to monitor a child’s activity or help a family member who’s locked out? I’m not looking for anything illegal or hacking-related, but I’m curious whether parental control or monitoring apps can show Instagram messages or activity without directly logging into the account. If that’s possible, how do these apps usually work with Instagram’s security and privacy rules, and what kind of consent or setup is required on the target phone?
