| How To Get Verified On Instagram Inspect Element |
Step 1: Become One with the Code (or at least pretend to)
Alright, so we're channeling our inner hacker here. Don't worry, it's less "Mission Impossible" and more "clicking around in your browser." The key is a nifty little tool called Inspect Element. This might sound scary, but it's basically a digital peek behind the curtain of any website.
Here's how to find it:
Tip: Don’t rush — enjoy the read.![]()
- Chrome: Right-click anywhere on the page and select "Inspect".
- Firefox: Right-click and choose "Inspect Element".
- Safari: Right-click and go to "Inspect Element".
Now you've unlocked the developer world! (Just don't go changing any global website settings, please)
Step 2: The Great Verification Badge Heist (kind of)
With your newfound powers, navigate to the profile of a verified celebrity (we recommend someone with a particularly fancy badge, like a singer or athlete). Unleash the power of Inspect Element again! This time, target the verified badge itself. Right-click on that little blue checkmark and choose "Inspect".
Tip: Read at your own pace, not too fast.![]()
Voila! You've infiltrated the code responsible for the badge's existence. Copy that fancy code snippet (it might look like hieroglyphics, but trust the process).
Step 3: Operation: Paste and Fake It Till You Make It (but mostly Fake It)
Now, head back to your own glorious Instagram profile. (Because let's face it, it is glorious). Inspect your name using the same method as before. Find the code that controls your username and paste the stolen verification badge code right after it.
QuickTip: Revisit posts more than once.![]()
Hit that magic "X" button and... congratulations! You're now the verified you, you've always dreamed of being (in your browser, at least).
Important Note: This verification badge only exists in your own little internet world. Refresh the page, and the magic disappears (just like your dreams of becoming a billionaire).
So there you have it! The not-so-secret method to achieving temporary Insta-fame. Use this power responsibly (mostly for amusement purposes). And remember, while you might not be rubbing shoulders with Beyonce just yet, you've taken your first step into the thrilling world of (slightly unethical) internet trickery.
