Can I see who shared my IG post? Easy methods for checking who reposted your Instagram content now.

Currently, Instagram does not provide a comprehensive list of every individual user who has shared your post to their stories or via direct message (DM). However, there are ways to get some insight into your post's shares.

Understanding Post Shares

When someone shares your feed post, they can share it in a few ways:

• To their Story: You can see who shared your post to their public Story if they tag you. If their account is private and you don't follow them, or if they don't tag you, you won't be notified or see it directly.
• Via Direct Message (DM): Instagram does not show you who has shared your post via DM to other users. This is private activity between those users.
• To other platforms: If someone copies the link to your post and shares it on other platforms (e.g., Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp), Instagram does not track or show you this.

What You Can See

For all account types:

• Story Reshares (if tagged): If someone shares your post to their Story and tags your account, you will receive a notification and be able to view their Story (if their account is public or you follow them). You can often see a list of public reshares by tapping on the "..." menu on your post and looking for an option like "View Story Reshares" if available, though this feature's availability can vary.

For Business or Creator Accounts:

• Post Insights: These account types offer access to Post Insights. While insights won't give you a list of specific users, they do provide a number for "Shares." This metric typically counts how many times your post was shared to Stories or sent as a message.

  To view this:

  1. Go to your post.
  2. Tap "View Insights" below the post.
  3. Look for the paper airplane icon, which usually represents shares. This will give you a total count.

Key Limitations

You cannot directly see a list of every individual who shared your post, especially for shares via DM or to external platforms. Instagram prioritizes user privacy for direct message shares.

The "Shares" count in Insights is an aggregate number and does not identify the specific sharers.

In summary, while you can see who shared your post to their public Story if they tag you and get an aggregate count of shares with a Business/Creator account, Instagram does not offer a feature to see a complete list of every user who has shared your post, particularly via DMs.
