Instagram does not show users who have viewed their profile. There is no feature on Instagram-whether for personal, creator, or business accounts-that allows you to see the identities of people who visit your profile
. Instagram keeps profile browsing private and anonymous to protect user privacy and foster a comfortable environment for browsing. While Instagram tracks profile visits internally for analytics purposes (such as total profile visits), it does not disclose this information to users in a way that reveals who specifically viewed their profile
. The only exception where you can see who viewed your content is Instagram Stories: when you post a Story, you can see exactly who viewed it by swiping up on the Story while it is active (within 24-48 hours)
. Any third-party apps or websites claiming to show you who viewed your Instagram profile are misleading and unreliable because Instagram’s privacy settings prevent such tracking from being shared
. In summary:
- You cannot see who viewed your Instagram profile.
- You can see who viewed your Instagram Stories for a limited time.
- Instagram provides profile visit counts via Insights for business accounts but not the identities of visitors.
- Third-party apps claiming to reveal profile viewers are not trustworthy.
This policy applies regardless of account type and is designed to protect user privacy and prevent stalking or unwanted attention
