Who's been viewing my Instagram?

You're not going to be able to see who your daily Instagram photo or video updates have viewed, so it's fairly easy to find out how to see who your photo or video stories have seen.

For Instagram for Android, iOS, and iPad, these guidelines apply.

How to see who has seen your posts on Instagram?

At the top of your feed, tap your profile image bubble to view your story.

Look at the story's lower-left corner. You'll see one or two profile photo bubbles with a seen-by mark under it if all of your followers have already seen it.

Tap the X in the upper right corner to close the story and wait a little longer for your fans to view it if you don't see this indicator. Repeat steps three and four after waiting.

To open the Display tab, tap the profile picture bubbles with the mark Seen by #. You can see a list of all the people who have seen your post, along with the total number of views on the top left. When you're done, press the X on the upper right.

To just go immediately to their profile, tap any viewer's profile picture or name. To cover the story, you can also tap the three dots next to their name so that the person cannot see it again or send a direct message with the mail icon next to their name.

By clicking the gear icon in the top left corner of the post, configure the viewing and sharing settings of your story. You will customize the following options from here:

Hide Story From: To hide this story from them, pick individuals from your supporter list.

Dear Friends: If you just wish to share this story with particular individuals, create a list of close friends.

Enable responses to messages: Allow your followers or just followers you follow back to respond to your story or turn off replies.

Enable Sharing: Allow your fans to share pictures and videos as updates from your story.

From your account settings, configure your story settings any time you want, even though you don't currently have any live stories. Open your profile, tap the top-right menu icon, tap Setup, scroll down to Privacy and Protection, and then pick Story Controls.

Check the updates after the 24-hour story expiration time by clicking the heart button on the bottom menu.

Increase the odds that more of your fans will see your story by keeping it around longer than the 24-hour default duration. Everything you need to do to do this is set up your story as a highlight. Tap your story to reveal it, and then tap the Highlight button on the bottom right. While after the 24-hour mark, it will vanish from the feeds of your fans, it will stay on your profile until you delete it.

If you don't want people who don't follow you to see your stories, try setting your Instagram profile private. To access your stories, as long as your profile is public, anybody can tap your profile image.

Whenever you view the story of someone else, the entity will see that you have seen it. There's no way to secretly display the accounts of other users, so if you don't want anyone to know you're reading their stories, the only choice is either to view them from someone else's account or not to view them at all.

Most importantly, if you do not want to let other people know that you are constantly keeping a check on them, we have an amazing application named Instastory.net for you. Open our instastalker and view Instagram posts and stories. The best news for our users is that you can even download your favorite ones.
