Short answer: Instagram does not let you see who visits your profile, with one notable exception: you can see who views your Stories. For standard profile visits, there is no official list of visitors that reveals who checked your page.
Details and what you can check
- Profile visits
- No feature shows the specific people who viewed your main profile. Instagram provides aggregated metrics in some analytics (for business accounts) about overall profile activity, but not the identities of individual visitors.
* Third-party apps or websites claiming to reveal profile viewers are not supported by Instagram and can pose security or privacy risks; they typically do not provide reliable or legitimate access to this information.
- Story viewers
- You can see who has viewed your current and past Stories by opening the Story and swiping up on the screen; this shows the usernames of people who viewed that Story.
* Note that viewers of Stories are only visible while the Story is active (and, for some viewers, only if you haven’t disabled Story viewers or switched to private viewing options).
- Privacy considerations
- Instagram has maintained that profile browsing remains private for general accounts, and there has been no official rollout of a feature to disclose profile visitors for non-business accounts as of the latest updates; any claims otherwise should be treated with skepticism and caution.
If you’re trying to gauge interest or detect engagement beyond who exactly viewed your profile, consider:
- Checking post insights for reach, saves, shares, and profile visits if you have a business/creator account (these are aggregate metrics, not individual visitor lists).
- Monitoring Story metrics (views, replies, interactions) to understand what content resonates with your audience.
