Instagram does not provide a feature that allows users to see exactly who has viewed their profile. This applies to all account types-personal, business, or creator accounts. Instagram prioritizes user privacy by keeping profile visits anonymous, so you cannot see a list of people who have visited your profile
. However, there are some related insights and indirect ways to gauge profile visitors:
- Instagram Insights for Business/Professional Accounts: If you switch your account to a business or professional account, you can access Instagram Insights, which shows the total number of profile visits over a period (e.g., the last 7 or 30 days). This data is aggregated and does not reveal individual visitor identities
- Story Viewers: You can see who viewed your Instagram Stories within 24 hours of posting. This is the closest Instagram offers to knowing who is checking your content frequently
- Engagement Tracking: Paying attention to who frequently likes, comments, or interacts with your posts can give clues about your regular profile visitors, as these users are likely engaging with your content often
Regarding third-party apps that claim to show who viewed your Instagram profile, be cautious. Instagram's API does not support this functionality, so such apps are often unreliable, potentially unsafe, or could compromise your account security
Summary
- No official way exists to see exactly who viewed your Instagram profile.
- Business accounts can see total profile visit counts via Insights but not visitor identities.
- You can see who viewed your Stories.
- Third-party apps claiming to reveal profile viewers are not trustworthy.
- Instagram keeps profile visits private to protect user privacy and encourage free browsing.
This is the current state of Instagram profile view visibility as of 2025
