No, Instagram does not allow users to see who views their profile. This applies to all account types, including personal, creator, and business accounts. Instagram keeps profile browsing private and anonymous, so no one receives notifications or can access a list of profile visitors
. However, business accounts have access to Instagram Insights, which shows the total number of profile visits as a metric, but it does not reveal the identities of the visitors. This feature is not available for personal accounts, and Instagram has no announced plans to extend it to them
. Additionally, third-party apps that claim to show who viewed your Instagram profile are unreliable and potentially unsafe, as Instagram’s API does not support this functionality
. In summary:
- You cannot see who viewed your Instagram profile.
- Business accounts can see the number of profile visits but not who visited.
- Personal accounts have no access to profile visit data.
- Viewing someone’s profile is always anonymous unless you interact by liking, commenting, or viewing Stories (which do show viewers).
- Beware of third-party apps claiming to reveal profile viewers—they are misleading or risky.
This privacy approach encourages free browsing without users feeling monitored
