These clues were discovered by a web designer named Cole Reinke, who, by pure chance, discovered a new option on the current Instagram website This is the possibility of accessing the commented user profile Specifically, the option of See profile Something that currently does not appear on the web. Therefore, it is understood that visibility is given to this profile and, perhaps, to the photographs taken by the userAlthough these are only assumptions.

According to this web designer, when clicking on the option a new page appeared with the problem 404 of not being able to access that section.Three hours later, when Cole Reinke searched for this option again, there was completely disappeared And by the looks of it, it hasn't reappeared so far. A coincidence that could pose a new route of benefits for the giant Facebook, although there is no official announcement at the moment.

Currently, the official Instagram website acts as a mere presentation of the tool, giving direct access to the markets of applications to download it. It does have a menu called Your account, from where you can edit the user profile or change the password, but nothing else. Of course, from its help section, there are recommendations for third-party web pages where to publish the photographs taken with this tool and be able to give them a public view.In fact, the list of these websites is preceded by a clarification stating that Instagram is improving the presence of your web Maybe with a public profile where to show our retouched images?
