How To See Who Views My Instagram Videos Online

Not only can you see how many people viewed your Story, but you can see who viewed it and in what orderIn case you missed it, your favorite photo-sharing app launched Instagram Stories, a brand new feature which resembles Snapchat's feature of the same name. The surprising Instagram update allows you to keep your followers apprised of your of-the-moment happenings without risking oversharing or disrupting your well-manicured feeds. With the advent of the feature, a big question on my mind is: Can you see who views your Instagram Stories? I mean, if you can, that kind of changes your whole Instagram Stories game, right?Traditionally, Instagram hasn't allowed users to know exactly who views a video in their feed unless the user chooses to like it. Video view counts rolled out earlier this year, giving Instagrammers more insight into the popularity of their posts independent from likes. Still, who the views are coming from remains a mystery. On the other hand, Snapchat shows its users exactly who has viewed each section of their stories, and it looks like Instagram has taken a cue from the Story-making forerunner in developing its own take. With Instagram Stories, you can see exactly who views your story. So now you can check out who's checking out your story, no questions asked. the top of the list or top of your feed?One other factor that could be impacting how Instagram ranks your Instagram Stories views list, is your connections on Facebook, according to The Verge. As Instagram’s parent company, your connections, and interactions on Facebook could also be influencing who ends up top of the list in your Instagram Stories views list. Right now this is just a theory, but it does make sense.Once your Instagram Story is up and going, you'll begin collecting views. Unlike Instagram videos, which will show you a total view count, but not the names of the individuals who have viewed each one, with Instagram Stories, you can see exactly who has taken a look (and even edit their viewing settings once they have). All you have to do is go to your Story — you can do so by clicking your icon at the top left of your feed — and swipe up.
