You cannot see exactly who viewed your regular Instagram posts (photos or videos) on your profile. Instagram does not provide a feature to show the identities of viewers for standard posts. However, you can see who liked and commented on your posts, which gives you some idea of who has engaged with your content

. Here are the key points and alternatives:

• For regular posts:
  You can only see the number of views on videos and the list of users who liked or commented on the post. The viewers’ identities beyond that are not available

• For Instagram Stories:
  You can see exactly who viewed your Instagram Story while it is live (within 24 hours) and up to 48 hours if you check the Archive. To do this, tap on Your Story, then tap the viewer count or the "Seen by" option to see the list of viewers

• Professional Account Insights:
  If you switch to a professional (business or creator) Instagram account, you can access insights on your posts, including the number of views and profile activity like how many people visited your profile from a post. However, this still does not reveal the names of all viewers, only aggregate data and interactions

• Third-party tools:
  Some online Instagram viewer tools claim to show post viewers anonymously, but these are not official and may not be reliable or safe

Summary

Content Type| Can You See Who Viewed?| How to Check
---|---|---
Regular Photo/Video Post| No, only likes and comments visible| Tap post → tap "Liked by" to see who liked it
Video Post Views| No, only total views and likes| Tap video post → view total views and likes
Instagram Stories| Yes, list of viewers visible| Tap Your Story → tap viewer count or "Seen by"
Professional Account Insights| Aggregate data, no viewer names| Switch to professional account → tap View Insights

In conclusion, Instagram restricts the ability to see exactly who viewed your posts, but you can track engagement through likes, comments, and story viewers
