As of 2025, Instagram does not allow you to see who specifically viewed your profile. This privacy policy is consistent and intact, meaning there is no direct feature or official tool on Instagram that reveals the identities of individual profile visitors. Instagram prioritizes user privacy and only provides aggregated metrics. For example, if you switch to a Professional (Creator or Business) account, you can access Instagram Insights, which shows the total number of profile visits but not who those visitors were. However, you can see the usernames of people who have viewed your Instagram Stories or Story Highlights, as these viewers are visible for 24 to 48 hours. This is the closest way to get an idea of who has engaged with your profile content recently. Beware of third-party apps claiming to show profile viewers because these are typically scams that can compromise your account security. In summary:
- You cannot see who viewed your Instagram profile directly.
- Instagram Insights (for Professional accounts) show total visits, not specific visitors.
- Story viewers are visible for Instagram Stories and Highlights.
- Avoid third-party apps promising to reveal profile viewers as they are unsafe.
This stance reflects Instagram's privacy-first approach while offering some aggregated data for professional insight purposes.
