Do you want to know who saved your Instagram posts? The ability to save posts on Instagram is a great way to archive a post on Instagram so that you can view it later on. If you have a Business or Creator account, you can use your Insights to see how many people saved your posts on Instagram. While there's no way to see who saved your posts, it can still be helpful to know how often your posts are saved. This wikiHow article teaches you everything you need to know about how to see who saved your posts on Instagram.

How to See Who Saved Your Instagram Post

While you can't see who saved your posts, you can switch to a Business profile to activate the "Insights" option below each photo or video post.
Professional accounts can also see other metrics, including how many people have shared your posts to their stories.
You can also ask your followers who has saved a post on Instagram.

There is no way to see which users saved your Instagram posts. While having a Business or Creator account can show you metrics, including how many people saved and shared your posts, it's not possible to see who saved or shared your posts.
- If you're looking for an alternative, your only option is to ask your followers if they've saved your posts. You can do this by posting a story, creating a reel, or even creating a new Instagram post to poll your users. There is no guarantee that the person(s) who saved your post will respond, but it gives them the option to send you a direct message.
- While some apps and services claim they can show you who views your Instagram posts, they aren't trustworthy.
