Do you think someone is stalking your Instagram account? It is possible to gain some clues as to who might be stalking your account within the Instagram app, but we will need a third-party app if we really want to dive deep into this search for our stalkers. Fortunately, this wikiHow article offers everything you need to know to see your stalkers on Instagram.

Things You Should Know

When an Instagram story has over 50 viewers, those at the top of the list are the users who most frequently engage with your account.
Professional Instagram accounts can access advanced statistics regarding the users who engage with their profiles.
Most apps provide detailed reports at a cost.

Instagram Story Order

Open the Instagram app. Although countless apps are available to help you find your Instagram stalkers, those who just want a rough idea can do so directly within the app. Instagram will not tell you who your stalkers are, but there are clues embedded within the app's stories feature.

Post a story. The order of the viewers on your Instagram story may indicate who is stalking your profile. Post a story to get started.

See who viewed your story. Open your story and swipe up from the bottom to see a list of users who have watched your story. With 50 viewers and under, the users will be listed in chronological order. However, once you have over 50 viewers, those listed at the top are the ones who interact with your account most frequently. You are likely to see some friends listed atop your story viewers, but if you see an unfamiliar account, they are likely stalkers. Users who like your story will be automatically placed atop the list. Their presence atop the list may or may not be an indication of their stalking your account. Also, keep an eye out for any accounts listed that do not follow you. This means they sought out your account and opened your story. Even if they are not listed too highly, they may be one of your Instagram stalkers.

Business & Creator Statistics

Switch your Instagram account to a professional account. Navigate to the Settings within your Instagram app and tap Account. Then, tap Switch to professional account. Professional accounts can access advanced statistics that personal accounts do not.

Visit the "Insights" tab. Tap ☰ in the app's top-right corner, and select Insights, represented by a bar graph. Here, you will find statistics for all of your stories and posts. Instagram will still not tell you which individuals are stalking you, but you can learn more about those who engage with your profile, including their age and gender.

Visitors Pro (iOS)

Install the Visitors Pro app on your iPhone or iPad. You can find it on the App Store. Note that you must pay to access Visitor Pro's stalker reports.

Connect your Instagram account. Open the app and sign in with your Instagram account.

Wait for the app to analyze your account. When you first connect your Instagram, the app will take some time to analyze your account and provide your desired reports. This process should only take a minute.

View your top 5 most active followers. Visitor Pro provides arguably the most direct evidence of a stalker, culling together all the ways users might interact with your account to reveal your top 5 most active followers. Anyone included on this list could be considered a "stalker."

InStalker (Android)

Install the InStalker app on your Android. You can find the app on the Google Play Store. InStalker provides a bit of information for free, but most of its analysis is locked behind a paywall.

Connect your Instagram account. Open the app and sign in with your Instagram account.

Tap Secret Admirers. This tab is most likely to include users you would consider a stalker. Secret Admirers are people who frequently engage with your account without following you. If you have not yet signed up for InStalker Premium, you will be prompted to do so now.

Follower Reports for Instagram (Android)

Install the Follower Reports for Instagram app. You can find the app on the Google Play Store. You may use Follower Reports for Instagram fully via its 3-day free trial, but the app requires you to pay for its Premium version after that.

Connect your Instagram account. Open the app and sign in with your Instagram account.

Tap the "Story Analytics" tab. It is represented by an encircled play button on the bottom of your screen. Here, you will find a variety of metrics related to your potential Instagram stalkers. Check out the "Top Viewers" tab to see who is viewing your story most often.
