The official Instagram app allows you to view your post and profile statistics for free. Namely, to see who watched photos, videos and even stories.
Among other things, the total number of views of your records in the "Statistics" section will be available.
The number of visits and other interactions with your page is also noted there.
If this information is not displayed, then there is most likely a reason for this. Namely:

To find out who watched the video and how many times it will take:
Here you can evaluate the following information:
The values of the last item just mean how many times your video has been viewed for more than 3 seconds.
Note. You can look at the statistics not only under the clip, but also under the photos.
Let's move on to the main question of the article - can you see who watched the video in your post? The answer is unequivocal - no. Instagram developers try to maintain a strict privacy policy among their clients. After all, how can you feel free when all your actions are shown on the page of the idol.
Despite this, you will be able to note:
If everything is clear with the first point, then in order to see who rated your video, follow a simple algorithm of actions:
Done. Now you can see who liked the material you posted.

The first step-by-step instruction will be as follows:
After some time, the statistics we need will be displayed under the 15-second clip. To estimate the number of impressions, turn on the story and swipe up from the bottom of the screen.

If the answer is short, then it is impossible. Instagram does not have a section and an option that tracks all the viewers of your videos - for example, like in Stories.
Therefore, you will not be able to get complete information about who exactly watched the videos. But still, you can see a small part of the viewers of your Reels - we will talk about this in the next section of the article.
Now let's learn 3 working ways to find out who watched your Reels (and IGTV) videos on Instagram.
The first way is to view likes. You can see statistics of likes for your video.
To do this, open the video you need - your own or someone else's - and click on the "Views" line.
The statistics section opens. This is the total number of video views. No additional information about viewers.
We are interested in the "Like" subsection. This is the list of people who "liked" the video.
Typically, about 10% of the users who watched your video liked it. This means that you can recognize 10-15% of your viewers.
The second way is to study the comments.
Everything is simple here: open the desired video and go to the comments section. Some viewers will write an opinion about your video - this way you will understand that the person who wrote the comment definitely watched the Reels or IGTV video.
The third way is the Instaspy service.
This is a cloud-based tool that tracks likes, follows and comments on Instagram - automatically.
For example, you can track your likes so you can see who likes your videos. To do this, you do not have to constantly “monitor” the section with likes manually.
Also with the help of "Instaspy" you can:
You can also watch other people's stories anonymously using this service.
