Does Instagram Show Who Views Your Profile
Unfortunately, no. Unlike LinkedIn, Instagram doesn’t notify you when someone views your profile, nor does it boast in-app functionality to track your profile visitors, yet. If you have a business account, you can see the number of visitors you had in the past seven days, or how many users saw your posts in their feed. But when it comes to the names of visitors, the answer is a resounding No.
Do Third-Party Apps Show Your Instagram Profile Viewers
You’ll find plenty of online tools and third-party apps for Android and iOS that claim to offer this functionality, but none of them work. So, it’s best not to waste your time.
Workarounds to See Who Viewed Your Instagram Profile
There are safe, indirect ways to check who viewed your Instagram profile. Here are they:
Method 1: Track Instagram Profile Views via Instagram Insights
If you’re using an Instagram Professional or Business account, you’re privy to regular insights. Alongside witnessing how your posts, stories, and reels are performing, you can also view the number of visitors on your profile. If you want to see those stats, simply go to your profile, tap thethree-line icon, and chooseInsights.
Tip: Here’s how toturn off or on your Instagram Business account.
Method 2: Deduce Profile Views via Instagram Stories
Instagram stories can come in handy for tracking your profile visitors. Firstly, Instagram allows you to see who viewed your stories. And secondly, stories from a public accounts are accessible to almost everyone unless they are blocked.
All you have to do is open the story and either tap the Activity from the bottom-left or swipe up. The list of people who have visited your story will be neatly displayed, including users who aren’t following your Instagram account.
However, there is a little snag here. IG stories expire in 24 hours, so you can check these insights until that time is up. Besides, someone canview your story without an Instagram accountas well.
