Hi,

If you're not logged into your LinkedIn account, the owner won't be notified that you've visited their profile. If you're logged in, the only way to visit their profile anonymously is to set your privacy settings called Select what others see when you've viewed their profile to anonymous.

For Instagram, whether you're logged in or not, the owner can't find out that you've visited their profile. Instagram doesn't have such feature, unlike LinkedIn.
