Being an active social media user has its pros as well as cons. Have you ever wondered who viewed my Instagram? Instagram is currently in demand because it is a great site for creative artists, photographers, both amateur and professional, public figures, and of course, millions of people from different walks of life.

What connects masses to Instagram is it’s easy to use interface, story sharing feature, and the ease to stay connected to people and pages in a not so predominant manner. Users can get instantly started on Instagram without any hassles.

However, on the downside, there is constantly a milder risk of being exposed to unknown people. There are many online stalkers on Instagram who create fake profiles for free to stalk and disturb others. Only some notable people can get the privilege of owning verified Instagram accounts. It is otherwise a difficult process to differentiate a fake account from a genuine one on Instagram.

Thus, in this article, we will look at the best possible ways to know who viewed your account on Instagram.

Thus, in this way, you can understand who is stalking you and doesn’t belong among your followers. Also, you can alter the settings of who can view your stories and replies by modifying the story settings.
