Can You See Who Viewed Your Instagram Profile?

Can You See Who Viewed Your Instagram Profile?

December 18, 2020 by Madalina Dinita Leave a Comment

In this quick post, we’ll answer one of the most frequently asked questions about Instagram: ‘Is there a way to see who viewed my Instagram profile‘?

Instagram users are not allowed to check who viewed their profile. There is no way to tell who visited your profile and browsed the images you uploaded.

Even if you use a business Instagram profile, you can’t get a list of all the users that viewed your pictures. However, you’ll get stats about the traffic volume. But the stats are not linked to any specific user profiles.

Why Instagram Doesn’t Show You Who Viewed Your Profile

see who viewed your instagram profile

Instagram does not collect information about the profiles that users visited for privacy reasons. Permanently watching every user’s steps means invading their digital space.

Think about it for one moment. Do you really like it when someone’s watching over your shoulder? You probably don’t. It’s the same with Instagram.

Moreover, if you come across any app that promises to show you who viewed your profile, don’t buy into that. That’s definitely not a legitimate service and its main purpose is probably to collect data from users.

Check Who Viewed Your Instagram Stories

On the other hand, you can see who viewed your stories. There’s a list of viewers that’s available for 24 hours after you went live. You can see who viewed your photo, video, or story as long as the post remains visible.

After it disappeared, you’ll only see how many users saw it. Information about specific user profiles will no longer be available.
