On Instagram, you can know who views your Stories, Highlights, Reels, and more. Just like Facebook, this app can tell if you have stalkers lurking on your profile.
For those wondering how to do that, the tricks are pretty simple. If you regularly post pictures on your Highlights collection, for instance, you should be aware that it won't last for long.
After 48 hours, they will automatically become unavailable so make sure to do these hacks before it reaches the 48-hour window.
How to check your Instagram Highlight viewers on Android
According to a report by TechPP, the first thing you need to do is to open Instagram on your Android device. Regularly check the app for updates so you can install the latest version of it. Updating it to the most recent version will help you use more IG features.
After opening the app, tap your profile picture. You can see it right in the bottom right part of the screen. From here, you can check your profile. Go to "Edit Profile Options" to check your existing Instagram Highlights.
Then, choose your desired highlight and click to see the viewer of your posted clip or image. Scroll down until you see the activity of your IG Highlight in the bottom left corner.
You can now check how many views your specific Highlight has. You will also be able to spot the names of the viewers.

Again, make it a habit of updating your Instagram to its latest version. Right after checking the update, go to your profile picture and tap the list of your Instagram Highlights under the "Edit Profile" button.
Furthermore, click a particular highlight to start viewing the number of viewers and their names.

Can you view the list of viewers after 48 hours?
Since the time limit for the Instagram Highlights is 48 hours, there's no way that you can review the list of viewers after this time frame.
