To see who shared your Instagram post, you need to have a professional account (either a business or creator account). Personal accounts do not have access to this feature. Here are the steps:
- Switch to a professional account if you haven't already:
- Go to Instagram settings.
- Tap "Account."
- Select "Switch to Professional Account" and choose either business or creator.
- Once you have a professional account, open your Instagram profile and tap on the post you want to check.
- Tap "View Insights" on that post.
- In the insights, you will see various metrics including the number of shares (indicated by a paper airplane icon).
- If available, you can see details about who shared your post, especially if they shared it publicly or via stories.
Note that you can only see shares within a limited time frame (usually within 24 hours) and only for publicly visible shares or story shares that tag you
. If you do not see the "View Insights" option, it means you are likely using a personal account and need to switch to a professional one first
. In summary, Instagram does not provide a direct way for personal accounts to see exactly who shared their posts, but professional accounts can access share insights through Instagram's analytics tools.
