Who views my Instagram?

Want to know who is stalking your Instagram account? Unfortunately, there are no built-in functions that let you do this, luckily there are a number of hacks that can help you find out who is viewing your Instagram. Read on to find out how to find out!

What are Instagram stalkers?

An Instagram stalker is someone who views your profile anonymously. Everyone has haters online who constantly check your profile without liking or leaving comments. These are people who stalk your profile without actually being your friends. The most reliable way to get rid of Instagram stalkers is to set your profile to private, this way no one outside your friends list can view your posts and stories. However, this is bad for the growth of your profile and that is why most people do not want to take this drastic measure.

Most people on Instagram only view the content of others without posting anything themselves. They watch content from people they like and people they hate, so chances are you have some sneaky stalkers on your profile.

How can you unmask stalkers on Instagram?

With some stalkers you will quickly find out who they are, for example because they keep checking your story or leaving comments. However, most Instagram stalkers try to remain anonymous. Of course your haters don’t want you to know that they are dealing with you, that’s why they view your stories anonymously, for example with a Instagram story viewer.

See who viewed your Instagram story

You can easily see who is viewing your Insta stories. Instagram has a built-in function that allows you to see a list of all profiles that have viewed your story. Unless someone uses an anonymous viewer, you can see exactly who is viewing your Stories. Some people think that whoever checks your stories most often comes at the top of the list, but unfortunately this isn’t true. People who have notifications turned on for your profile will be the first to see your stories, so it’s best to stay online for a while to see who sees your story first. 

After 24 hours, your story and the information about who viewed your story will disappear, but you can take a screenshot for yourself or save your Instagram story. If you save your Insta stories, you can continue to see how many people and which people have viewed your story.

Apps to find out who is viewing your profile

There are tons of apps out there that say they show who has viewed your Instagram profile. We tested 3 apps and unfortunately they were all fake. It is not possible to hack the Instagram algorithm and make this information visible. Instagram has very good protections built in to prevent this. These are the apps we tested:

1. Social Plus for Instagram

Social Plus is one of the Android and Iphone apps that claim to show who has viewed your profile. With this app you can see who views your stories, who your best friends are on Instagram, who unfollowed you, who unfollowed you and more. Some of the app is free and some you have to pay for. Unfortunately, you can’t see who secretly views your account and how often.

2. Profile+

This app claims to show you who is stalking your profile. However, this app does not work. It’s a scam to make you pay for premium features that don’t work. The app only shows a list of users you’ve blocked, which you can also view on the Instagram app.

3. Follower Analyzer for Instagram

This is another app that says they show you who is stalking your profile, when in fact they don’t show anything at all.

This app just shows a random list of Instagram users, which they change every time you open the app. This gives you the impression that it really works but this is a scam! 

Apps can harm your phone!

So these apps can’t show who is viewing your Profiles, and these apps can also install malicious malware or viruses on your phone. Especially Android users should be careful with this. Therefore, read all reviews carefully before installing an app and remember that app developers often have fake positive reviews posted on their apps! So be extra careful before installing anything on your phone!

Use a business page to see who has viewed your profile

Instagram business users can access advanced Instagram Insights and gain more insight into who is viewing their Page. Many people don’t know this, but you can convert your Instagram profile for free and easily into a business profile.

You can see from which location, what age and what gender your stalkers are:

However, you will not see the names of those who have viewed your profile, but with the available data you can of course draw your own conclusions whether, for example, your ex is constantly checking your profile. Creating a business account is free and you don’t need to have a real company for this, of course it also seems extra cool for your followers that you have an official business account, just like all influencers.

In the settings of your instagram app you can convert your account to business with one click. However, it is not possible to see the statistics of old posts and stories, so you will have to post some new posts and stories to get the statistics overview.

Set your instagram profile to private

Are you concerned about who is viewing your profile and not comfortable with it? Then set your profile to private. That’s the only way you can be sure no one outside your friends list is viewing your profile. 

You can select the ‘private account’ option in the settings of your Instagram app. You can always change this setting again. Another option is to block people you don’t want to view your Instagram, but they can still view your stories and posts via someone else’s profile, a fake profile or via an anonymous viewer.

Please also note that your profile is not set to private if you instagram followers or buy likes, because we cannot deliver these. You must then temporarily set your profile to public and as soon as your order has been delivered, your profile can be made anonymous again!
