Instagram Profile Views: Truth or Rumor?

Are Instagram profile views coming soon? We separate fact from fiction about the rumored feature.

Instagram Profile Views: Rumors Debunked (For Now)

Instagram users can breathe a sigh of relief (or disappointment, depending on your stance) as rumors of a profile views feature have been squashed... for now.

Instagram Profile Views

Here's the lowdown:

  • Rumors circulated about Instagram adding a feature to see who viewed your profile, sparking anxiety and excitement among users.
  • Instagram product designer Jenny Eishingdrelo quickly shut down the rumors, stating it's not happening.
  • However, the rumors persist due to competitor TikTok's existing profile view feature, which operates on a two-way transparency basis.
  • Instagram typically announces new features through official channels like Mark Zuckerberg's "Meta Channel" or Adam Mosseri's "IG Updates", neither of which have mentioned anything about profile views.

The takeaway:

While a profile view feature isn't coming to Instagram anytime soon, the possibility remains, especially with TikTok setting a precedent. Keep an eye on those official channels for any updates, and maybe lay low on the secret stalking (just in case!).
