To see who viewed your Instagram story, follow these steps:
- Open the Instagram app and tap on Your Story at the top left of the home screen.
- While viewing your story, swipe up on the screen.
- This will reveal the number of viewers and the Instagram usernames of everyone who has seen that particular photo or video in your story.
- You can tap the eye icon or the Activity option at the bottom left to see the full list of viewers
Additional details about the viewer list:
- The viewer list is only visible while the story is active (24 hours) plus an additional 24 hours, so you have about 48 hours to check who viewed your story after posting
- If your story has fewer than 50 views and no interactions, the viewer list is shown in reverse chronological order (most recent viewers first)
- For stories with more than 50 views, Instagram sorts the viewers based on your interactions with them (likes, comments, profile visits, direct messages), showing those you engage with most at the top of the list
- Only you can see who viewed your story; this information is private and not visible to others
In summary, just open your story and swipe up to see who has viewed it, with the order of viewers influenced by your interaction history once views exceed 50
