Is there an app that shows who views your instagram

We all want to know who’s lurking on our social media profiles, but the truth is that none of the major social media platforms will let you access this information—not even if you’re a verified user.

• English

Despite this, there is an endless litany of third-party apps for Instagram that promise to:

• Show you if another user searched for you.
• Track which users recently viewed your profile.
• List followers who see your posts, even if they don’t comment or like.

To be clear, there is no way a third-party app can find this information for you. It isn’t tracked in any way that users—or apps they install—can access.

These fake apps and browser extensions sure look convincing, though. Here’s why: They might fill your “recent views” with randomly generated lists of real accounts that update each time you refresh the app. It’s a clever trick, but a trick nonetheless. These views aren’t real.

If an app or browser extension claims it can show you who’s looking at your Instagram profile or stalking your posts, it’s lying. Don’t download it, and delete any similar apps you’ve tried. Depending on how bad the crappy app in question is, it might be tracking and selling your data, overloading you with ads, or seeding your device with malware. And even if it’s completely innocent, it won’t do anything useful.

The only way to know if someone saw your Instagram post is if they liked or commented on it—or if they mention it to you personally. Yes, you can obviously see who has viewed your Instagram stories, but that’s different than a regular Instagram post.

Some apps can alert you when someone unfollows you. This is different from “tracking” who looks at your profile, however, since your followers list is always accessible to you; these apps are simply alerting you to a change that would otherwise go unmentioned.

Sure, LinkedIn Premium users can get a snapshot of how often their account appeared in searches and a list of who checked out their profile—if they are willing to pay for it. But there are no such features available for Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, or Facebook, and what ever it promises, no app is going to be able to rout out your stalkers and secret admirers.

• 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.

Here's how to see who viewed your Instagram videos.

Can you see who views your Instagram? 

Instagram offers no way to see who has visited your profile. 

While the list of Instagram profile visits is hidden, you can get a pretty good idea of who has been checking you out when they interact with one of your stories or video posts. 

How to see who viewed one of your Instagram stories

1. Open Instagram on your mobile device.

2. Tap on Your Story – the icon with your profile picture – in the top left hand corner. You can also access your story from your profile page. Both will show a colored ring around your circular profile picture.

3. Tap Activity in the bottom left corner.

4. You'll see a pop-up with the number of viewers and a list of the people who viewed the video. You can scroll through the list to see their names.

1. Open the Instagram app on your mobile device.

2. Tap the profile icon in the bottom right corner of the screen.

3. Find the video you want to see the views for and tap it.

4. Underneath the video, you'll see a total number of views as well as a few of the names of those who liked it. Tap on these labels to view more details.

5. In the details, you'll see the total number of views listed again at the very top; the individual viewers' names are not accessible. Scroll the list to see the names of everyone who liked the video, or use the search bar at the top to save time and search for a specific person.
