Do you want to know who saved your Instagram posts? The ability to save posts on Instagram is a great way to archive a post on Instagram so that you can view them later on. If you have a Business or Creator account, you can use your Insights to see how many people saved your posts on Instagram. While there's no way to see who saved your posts, it can still be helpful to know how often your posts are saved. This wikiHow article teaches you everything you need to know about how to see who saved your posts on Instagram.

Things You Should Know

Can you see who saved your Instagram posts?

There is no way to see which users saved your Instagram posts. While having a Business or Creator account can show you metrics including how many people saved and shared your posts, it's not possible to see who saved or shared your posts.
- If you're looking for an alternative, your only option is to ask your followers if they've saved your posts. You can do this by posting a story, creating a reel, or even creating a new Instagram post to poll your users. There is no guarantee that the person(s) who saved your post will respond, but it gives them the option to send you a direct message.

Select Creator or Business. Both of these account types offer Insights that include seeing how many people saved your posts, as well as other tools for improving and tracking engagement.
