When you often post videos on Instagram, you may be interested in who watched them. So you can find out which audience perceives your content better, and in the future you will shoot more videos adapted to the audience. Therefore, let's look at how to find out who watched your videos on the social network.

Unfortunately, the Instagram functionality does not allow you to see who exactly watched your videos in the feed or Reels.
But there are two "freelance" ways to do this - make a repost from the feed to stories or use third-party utilities.
In the first case, you will display through the story that you posted the video to the feed. For this you need:
You can do the same if you go to the IGTV section. When the story is published, you will be able to see through Instagram statistics who went to the publication, interacted with the story and went to the profile.
The statistics will display who exactly these people are. Therefore, you can roughly understand who viewed your video content in the feed the most. If you can't find the stats, it's likely that you haven't connected a professional account. To do this:
In statistics, you need to go to the analysis of activity in stories, and then select the desired parameter and view data on it.
New applications are regularly released in the AppStore or Google Play, which guarantee that they will show all the activity on the Instagram profile. nine0003
We, like Instagram admins, do not recommend using unverified programs.
And there is one service that will help you find out more information about the actions of other users and which I would like to recommend - Instaspy!
This service will tell you who liked whom, who followed whom and many other interesting details about the user's life on Instagram. The program has been tested by us and is 100% safe for your profile.

A new format has recently appeared on Instagram - Reels or short videos that resemble TikTok clips.
Two types of information about such content are available to the author of the videos - who liked and who commented. Who watched the video, the social network also does not reflect.
But you can collect an audience by likes and comments - it's especially good if the number of views matches the likes. Then you will get accurate information about the viewers. nine0003
There is no specific feature on Instagram yet to see who has watched your video content. Therefore, it remains to use such tricks.
It is unlikely that such a function will be introduced at all - in TikTok, for example, they still do not show who viewed, but only those who left comments or likes on the clip.
