You can see who views your Instagram Highlights, but only within a limited time frame. Specifically, Instagram allows you to see the list of viewers and view counts for up to 48 hours after the original Story was posted—not from when you added it to your Highlights

. Here are the key points:

• While your Story is live (first 24 hours), you can see who viewed it by swiping up on the Story.
• After you save a Story as a Highlight, you can still see who viewed it, but only during the first 48 hours from the original Story’s posting.
• After 48 hours, Instagram removes the viewer list and view counts for that Highlight, so you cannot see who viewed it beyond that window.
• This limitation applies regardless of how long the Highlight remains on your profile; Highlights stay visible indefinitely, but viewer data does not

• To check viewers within the 48-hour window, open your profile, tap the Highlight, then swipe up on the screen to see the list of viewers

There is no official way to see who viewed your Highlights after 48 hours, and third-party apps claiming to provide this information are unreliable and potentially unsafe

. In summary, Instagram provides viewer information for Highlights only during the 48 hours following the original Story’s posting, after which the data is no longer accessible.
