Can you see who saved your Instagram post?
In 2016, Instagram introduced the feature to save posts. However, it is impossible to see who saved your posts in Instagram saved posts. People save posts mainly because they want to come back to that post and admire it or show it to someone else.Â
However, it is not just that. Some people use the ‘save post’ button for ulterior motives, like finding a person’s profile easily without following them. Unfortunately, because of the privacy issues involved, Instagram does not allow even the original poster or the creator to see who saved your Instagram pictures. It basically boils down to guessing games and deductions based on the likes, comments, engagements, impressions, etc. if you want to know who saved your posts.Â
However, Instagram does offer a feature to see how many people have saved posts on Instagram but mind you; it takes some work.

     1. In your Instagram account, click on the profile icon at the bottom right corner.

     3. When you click on each post, you can see the details about those posts, like the number of likes, comments, saves, impressions, reaches, and engagements. If you have not enabled the Insight feature, you will not see the number of impressions, reaches, and engagements.
