To see viewed Instagram Reels and their analytics, here are the key methods depending on what you want to do:
Viewing Your Own Reels' Performance (Insights)
You can check detailed metrics on the Reels you have posted if you have a business or creator Instagram account:
- Go to your Instagram profile and tap the Reels tab to see all your posted Reels.
- Select the specific Reel you want to analyze.
- Tap View insights at the bottom of the Reel or tap the three-dot menu (- - - ) and select Insights.
- This will show metrics like views, plays, reach, likes, comments, shares, saves, watch time, and follower growth from that Reel
Alternatively, for an overview of all your Reels:
- From your profile, tap the hamburger menu (three lines) in the top right.
- Select Insights.
- Scroll to Content you’ve shared and tap Reels to see performance data for all your Reels, with options to filter by time period or metric
Viewing Recently Watched Reels (Reels You Have Viewed)
Instagram does not have a straightforward "history" feature for all Reels you've watched, but you can try:
- Scroll up in the Reels tab; recently watched Reels tend to appear near the top of the feed.
- If you interacted with a Reel (liked, commented, shared, or saved), you can find it via your profile:
- Tap the hamburger menu, then Your Activity.
- Check Interactions such as Likes or Saved to find Reels you engaged with
Summary
- To see analytics on your own Reels, use the Reels tab on your profile and tap View insights.
- For overall Reels performance, use Insights from the hamburger menu and select Reels.
- To find Reels you recently watched, look in the Reels feed, or check your Liked or Saved interactions under Your Activity.
These tools help you track how your Reels perform and revisit content you found interesting
