FAQs

Is it possible to check who viewed my Instagram Highlights after 48 hours?

Unfortunately, there is no official way for you to check who viewed your Instagram Highlights after 48 hours have passed, but there are certain workarounds that can be used if you are really a curious cat.

• Take a screenshot: One way to check who viewed your Highlight is to take a screenshot of the username list that appears when you swipe up on your Highlight. This will allow you to save the list of usernames, which you can then cross-check with your followers list or search manually on Instagram to find out who viewed your Highlight.
• Use a third-party app: There are several third-party apps, including Buffer and Sprout, available on the app stores that claim to be able to help you find out who viewed your Instagram Highlights. However, be cautious when using these apps as they may compromise your account’s security or violate Instagram’s terms of service.
• Boost your Story Highlights (involves $$$): Further, there is a paid method to view your story highlights after 48 hours. This involves boosting or promoting your story highlights by paying for additional reach on the platform. Once your boost is approved, the analytics tab will show all sorts of details like the number of views on your highlight, the number of times it has been viewed, and a lot more.

Note: Instagram’s terms of service prohibit the use of third-party apps to access its platform, and doing so may result in your account being suspended or terminated. It’s important to protect your account’s security by using strong passwords, enabling two-factor authentication, and not sharing your login information with anyone before you attempt to use the methods described.

Can someone see that I viewed their Instagram highlight?

The person or account handler will be able to see the viewers of their Instagram highlight stories only if it was posted within the last 48 hours. Once the time period is up, Instagram will remove the number of views and usernames from the highlight. However, if the person resorts to taking screenshots or uses a third-party app, it still may be possible to view the highlight stats even after 48 hours.

Can I view at what time people saw my Instagram highlight?

No, Instagram doesn’t allow users to view at what time their highlight has been seen by their followers and audience. The list only captures and shows the number of views and usernames that too only for a certain period of time.
