Here is How to Check Who Viewed Your Instagram Profile

Instagram has gained a lot of traction lately and has become one of the top social media platforms where we love to share photos, videos, and stories from almost every genre. And many use the platform to share personal photos and videos to update everyone about their life. But just like everyone, you must be wondering how to find out who has viewed your Instagram profile.

You must be well aware of the existence of third-party websites and apps promising you to show who views your Instagram profile and who your top admirers are. But once you provide them with your account details, they ask you to pay for their services. Have you ever wondered why?

Let us burst your bubble; there is certainly no way to check who viewed your profile. Whether your account’s privacy is set to private or public, or even if you have a business account. Instagram’s privacy is very strong and they never share any data related to who checked your profile and when they opened your profile.

However, there are ambiguous data and statistics you can use to figure out who viewed what you have shared on your Instagram. We are going to talk about those tips and tricks here in this blog post.

Can You Really See Who Viewed Your Instagram Profile?

Believe it or not, we humans are born curious and we are endlessly curious about the world and our surroundings. Also, according to studies, some people are more curious than others. This curiosity is what makes us humans interested in looking into other people’s profiles since a whole world of information is easily accessible and is just a few taps away.

If you have recently shared a post or added a story about a recent life event on Instagram, your followers are more likely to visit your profile and look into other posts, because they are curious to see if they are missing any other information.

In the process, they may even scroll down further and look into your older posts and videos, or maybe they might go through your story highlights. And if by any chance, they liked your old post or video or left a comment then Instagram will send you a notification and that is exactly how you can figure out who viewed your profile and when.
