You cannot see who has viewed your Instagram profile. Instagram does not provide users with the ability to know exactly who visits their profile, and it does not notify users when someone views their profile. This privacy feature is intentional to allow users to browse freely without being tracked or monitored
. However, you can see who has viewed your Instagram Stories by opening the story and swiping up, which shows a list of viewers with their profile icons and names
. For posts and videos, you can see view counts but not the identities of viewers
. Some third-party apps and services claim to show who viewed your profile, but these are generally unreliable and potentially unsafe, as Instagram does not officially support this feature
. If you want to limit who can see your content, you can make your account private or restrict certain users. Making your account private prevents unsubscribed users from seeing your posts and stories
. For business or creator accounts, Instagram Insights provides aggregate data like the number of profile visits and reach but does not reveal the identities of visitors
. In summary:
- Instagram does not allow you to see who viewed your profile.
- You can see who viewed your Stories.
- View counts on posts/videos are available but anonymous.
- Third-party apps claiming to show profile viewers are not trustworthy.
- Use privacy settings to control who can see your content.
This is the current state of Instagram's features as of 2025
