How to see who saved your Instagram posts

So now you want to see who saved your Instagram posts. Now you can know if someone has saved your Instagram post in a collection. For Instagram post creators, learning how to see who saves your photos on Instagram can help you learn which type of post your followers like best.

This can often be more important than the number of Likes you receive, since saving a post in an Instagram Collection means that not only does someone like your content, but they want to postpone it again in the future or share it with a friend.

Who saved your photos on Instagram

Unlike when someone likes one of your posts on Instagram, you won’t receive a notification for when someone saves a post in an Instagram collection. 

The only way to see who saved your posts on Instagram is to view the advanced insights of a post, which are available for those with Business or Creator accounts.

Anyone can change their personal Instagram account to a Business or Creator account. Select Settings > Accounts, then choose Switch to company account or Switch to creator account.

If you have an Instagram Creator or Business account, you can see how many times your posts have been saved in the following way:

Open the Instagram app on your iOS or Android device.

Touch the Profile icon to view your posts. The profile icon is the one on the far right of the bottom menu that looks like a person’s silhouette.

Touch the post for which you want to view the save count.

Once the post is uploaded, tap View insights below the image or video.

Various statistics will appear. The bookmark icon refers to how many times someone has saved this post in one of his collections.

How to see who saved your Instagram posts

Unfortunately, there is no way to see who saved your Instagram posts using the Instagram apps or website. Nor is there a way to see in which Instagram collections your photo or video posts have been saved.

The reason for this limitation is probably due to privacy issues, so it is impossible to view or download this specific data.

One way to find out who saves your Instagram posts is to simply ask your followers in an Instagram story. Here is an example of how to do it:

Open the Instagram app on your smartphone or tablet.

Touch the post you want to ask your followers.

Take a screenshot of the Instagram post page using the native iOS or Android screenshot methods.

Touch the Home icon to return to the main Instagram feed.

Tap the Stories icon in the upper left corner to start a new Instagram story. The Stories icon is what looks like a camera.

Scroll up to look for the screenshot of your post on Instagram.

Touch the screenshot image to add it to your Story.

Touch the text icon to add a message to your followers. If you really want to interact with your followers, try asking a question with an Instagram question sticker,

Tap Done when you finish typing, then use two fingers to move and resize the text.

Touch Your Stories to post the Instagram story to your followers. They will be able to respond to the story through a DM.
