No, people on Instagram cannot see who viewed their profile. Instagram does not provide any feature or tool that allows users to see a list of who has visited their profile, regardless of whether the account is personal, business, or creator type
. Unlike platforms such as LinkedIn, Instagram keeps profile browsing private and anonymous to protect user privacy and encourage free browsing without fear of being tracked
. However, Instagram does allow users to see who has viewed their Stories for 24 hours after posting, which is a different feature from profile views
. Additionally, if you switch to a professional (business or creator) account, you can access Instagram Insights that show the number of profile visits over a period of time, but this data does not include the identities of the visitors
. Beware of any third-party apps or websites that claim to reveal who viewed your Instagram profile, as these are misleading and potentially unsafe
. In summary:
- Instagram does not show who viewed your profile.
- You can see who viewed your Stories.
- Professional accounts can see the number of profile visits but not who visited.
- Third-party apps claiming to show profile viewers are unreliable and risky.
This privacy design helps maintain a comfortable and secure browsing experience on Instagram
