Instagram has not provided the option to know who has viewed your Instagram in all parts. In some cases, you can see who has viewed your profile using tools, and find out the stalkers. But this is not the case for all other sections.

Here we will go through the story’s views, and we learn more about the options we have to know who has viewed our Instagram stories.

How to see who viewed your Instagram story

Instagram will let you know who has viewed your story just less than 24 hours of publishing time. Even if you save it in your Instagram app, or make it highlight you cannot find out who has viewed it after 24 hours. So, one way to keep your audiences is to take screenshots from viewers. Otherwise, the list of viewers will disappear after certain time.

How to see who viewed your Instagram story the most?

There is no option on Instagram to see who has viewed your Instagram story the most. However, finding out who is our loyal follower can be interesting, specifically when it comes to appreciate them.

Somehow it can be done through human analysis, you know who commented most on your posts, or who has replied to your stories most.

Since I have browsed the internet, to this day there is no online tools to find out the interaction circle. Social media interaction circle shows who engaged with you most, and this tool is available for other social networks such as Twitter, but not Instagram.

It would be a great idea if a team come and create such tool, to find out the most engaged followers.

• You can't see who views your Instagram profile, but you can see who views stories and videos. 
• For Instagram stories, you can see exactly who viewed your story while it's still live.
• For video posts, you can only see the total number of views and users who've liked the posts.

While you can't see who viewed your Instagram profile, there are two ways you can track the viewers of video content you post on Instagram.

To see who viewed a video on your Instagram story, you'll have to tap the story while it's still live. The total number will appear in the bottom left hand corner. Tap to scroll and view the names of all the users who've watched the story.

For a video posted to your profile feed, tap the label underneath the post. Unfortunately, you can only view the total number of views but not the individual user names. You can, however, view the users who have liked it and, thus, have viewed it.
