Fortunately, if you have a Business or Creator account, you can use Insights for Reels to see how many users you've reached and how many shares, likes, and saves your video got. If you have a Personal account, you can see how many views your Reels get. This wikiHow article teaches you how to use Reel Insights on Instagram using the mobile app on Android, iPhone, and iPad.

QuestionWhy do only some of my Reels get more views?Kasey Dunn is a Social Media Expert and the Senior Social Media Manager for Golden Arrow PR in the Los Angeles Metropolitan Area.

If you want to have more views consistently, search for a trending audio that ranges around 1000 to 10,000 uses and has the arrow pointing up. If you use a too saturated audio—something in the 100,000 to 500,000 uses—, you still might have a chance of success, but also you can get lost in the mix. Also, make sure to add relevant hashtags for your content.
