Want to look through someone’s Instagram photos without the “double-tap” fear? Simply scroll through their feed while on airplane mode. Without internet access, you won’t be able to like their photo even if you accidentally double-tap it.
The pictures won’t load in the first place if you start on airplane mode, though. You’ll have to go to the feed first so the pictures load, then turn on airplane mode, then start scrolling. When you reach the end and need to load more pictures, simply turn airplane mode off, let more load and then turn it on again.
