Did you see a TikTok video claiming you can now see who viewed your profile on Instagram? Don't worry—this isn't true! Instagram does not have an official feature that allows you to do so just yet. You'll be able to visit profile pages as many times as you'd like without the user knowing. However, if you have a business account, you could see the number of hits your profile has. This wikiHow will debunk the profile view Instagram hack on TikTok and show how to view profile hits legitimately with professional accounts.

Things You Should Know

  • Currently, Instagram does not have a feature that lets users see who viewed their profile.
  • Beware of any third-party apps that claim to do so. This can lock you out of your account or permanently ban it.
  • If you have a professional account, you can see the number of "profile hits" rather than individual users.

    If you're concerned about someone knowing how often you've checked their profile, don't worry. Instagram has not released a feature that lets users know which specific users are snooping (yet). If you're curious about who's looking at your profile, you can upgrade to a professional account to see the number of profile visits . This is only the number of hits your profile has, not individual users.
    • There may be third-party apps that claim you can see who viewed your profile. However, these apps may lock you out of your account or get your account permanently banned . Be wary of any third-party apps that involve entering your login information.
    • While users can’t see who looked at their profile, they can still see who viewed their Stories .

    This looks like a camera icon with a multicolored background.
    • Use this method if you have a professional account and want to check your profile's hits. This won't work for regular accounts .

    You can find this in the bottom-right corner.
    • On some devices, this may look like a person icon.
