How to see who viewed your Instagram video

1. Head to your Instagram profile tab and tap or scroll to view the video you've posted.

2. Underneath the video, you'll see a total number of views as well as a few of the names of those who liked it. Tap on these labels to view more details.

3. In the details, you'll see the total number of views listed again at the very top; the individual viewers' names are not accessible. Scroll the list to see the names of everyone who liked the video, or use the search bar at the top to save time and search for a specific person.

It's important to note that the views total is only available for videos. For still photos, the details pane will only show the names of those who liked it.
