Lesson: In this chapter, I'll be teaching you how to stalk someones instagram without having an account. I'll also be sharing an easy tool on how to save their photos without a screenshot and how to save any of their videos to your desktop without hassle. When it's okay to use someone on instagram as a face claim and when it's not.

It's odd that someone my age doesn't have an instagram. My friends literally had to force me to make a snapchat, but I am so against instagram. At one point in time, I did have an account... where I posted pictures of my sick cat in a cone, but I deleted it after a week. (He was attacked by a raccoon).

Some of the best faces are some of the most obscure ones. There may not be many photos of that person on google and there's probably zero gifs of them anywhere. But that is a gold mine to people like us. Unlike me, everyone else, especially up and coming models, have an instagram. I've never not found a model with a full instagram and that's exactly what we're talking about today.

If you have to stalk someones instagram...do it! I mean if you don't want to come across as stalkerish then don't like every one of their photos. But this isn't snapchat, so you can take as many screenshots as you want! 

Another thing that I highly suggest is if you can't google their instagram name and easily find their real name. Don't use them as a face claim! Just use common on when a face is acceptable to use. Usually, if they have more than like 2,000 (idk if that's an okay number like I said I don't have an instagram) then it should be okay to use them. As long as you can easily google them.

So let's start with a face and a name. Today we're going to be "stalking"... Rebecca Dias! 

" Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show-stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference... "

I love Rebecca and I'd love to see her get used more. Sadly, when you google her name you get about seven good photos and the rest are just random other photos from some old lady's facebook. The photo that are available on google are totally usable, but there's just not a lot. Not to mention there are zero gifs of her. Ugh. Whatever are we to do?

Google this: Rebecca Dias Instagram

Your problems are solved. This girl documents her life well. She has over 1,300 posts and from the time I posted this, she posted only a few days beforehand.

What? This isn't what instagram is supposed to look like?! What are those buttons you have at the top? What are those squares on some of the photos? You may say. It's one of the ways I use instagram to save photos of potential face claims. There are two different methods you can use.

Option 1: If you have google chrome, like I do, then you can use this method. Go to your google chrome store and search for "InstaG Downloader". The one you will want to download is what I have below. Once you download it, the widget will look like what I have in the red box in the top right-hand corner of the screen.

All you have to do from here is go to the instagram page of anyone and it will look like the screenshot of Rebecca's I have above. You don't have to download every photo thankfully. 

If you scroll over the top right-hand corner of any photo or video on the page you will see three icons. The first icon (the blue one with glasses) will open the photo or video in a separate tab. The middle icon (the red one) will allow you to copy the link to the photo. When you open the link it will be a separate page with only the photo. The third icon (the orange one with the down arrow) will allow you to easily download the photo or video to your computer!

You can totally download all the photos or videos if you want. I've never used that option before so I don't know what to tell you. Fell free though and if you do use that option tell me below if it works!

I've had this widget on my laptop for over a year now and I can say that I've never once had an issue with it or have I had any viruses from it.

Option 2: If you don't have google chrome and/or don't want to download the widget. There is another way. The website https://downloadgram.com/ allows you to paste the link of any photo or video from instagram or facebook and easily downloaded it.

I've only used the above website twice to make sure it worked before I posted it to you all so if you don't like it tell me and I can always change it out.

Overall, instagram stalking isn't a bad thing in the face claiming world. It's an essential thing. You can find more photos and videos and gifs possibly. You're just using a tool everyone has access to, but you're using it to its full potential.
