Private and Public Account

It refers to the access levels determined by the privacy settings of the accounts on Instagram. Private accounts are accounts on Instagram that only show their posts to followers they approve. By making an account private, your profile and posts are only visible to your followers. This way, you can ensure that only people you approve can access your content. Private account holders have the authority to approve or reject follower requests.

Public accounts are accounts on Instagram where anyone can see your profile and posts. Open account holders generally share their posts with a wider audience and allow people they don't know or follow to find their accounts. Anyone can find your profile, see your posts and follow them. This way, you can share your account with a wider audience and increase your potential to be discovered.
