There is no official way to see who has viewed your Instagram profile. Instagram does not provide users with the ability to see the identities of profile visitors, regardless of the account type (personal, business, or creator). This is a deliberate privacy measure by Instagram to protect user anonymity and encourage free browsing without users feeling monitored
. However, Instagram business and creator accounts can access Instagram Insights, which shows the total number of profile visits over a certain period but does not reveal who specifically viewed the profile. To do this, you need to switch to a professional account, then go to your profile, tap the menu, select Insights, and check the profile visits metric. This only provides aggregate data, not individual visitor information
. Some third-party apps claim to show who viewed your Instagram profile, but these are not supported by Instagram’s official API and may compromise your account security or privacy. Instagram prohibits such functionality, so these apps are often unreliable or scams
. The closest you can get to knowing who interacts with your profile is by viewing who has seen your Instagram Stories. Instagram allows you to see the list of users who viewed your Stories within 24 hours of posting, which can give you an idea of frequent visitors or engaged followers
Summary:
- Instagram does not allow you to see who viewed your profile.
- Business accounts can see the total number of profile visits via Insights but not individual visitors.
- Third-party apps claiming to show profile viewers are unreliable and risky.
- You can see who viewed your Instagram Stories, which may hint at frequent profile visitors.
This is the current state of Instagram profile view visibility as of 2025.
