You cannot directly see a list of specific individuals who have sent or forwarded your Instagram post to another user via Direct Message (DM). Instagram does not provide a feature for users to track this specific type of private share activity by others.
Understanding Post Engagement and Visibility
While you cannot see who specifically forwarded your post in a DM, Instagram does offer insights into other forms of engagement and public shares:
- Story Reshares: If your account is public and someone shares your feed post to their Instagram Story, you can generally see who has done so. This is often accessible by viewing your post's active story shares or through your post insights if you have a Professional Account.
- Likes: You can always view a complete list of users who have liked your post by tapping on the like count.
- Comments: You can see all users who have commented on your post directly beneath it.
- Saves: If you have a Professional Account, you can see the number of times your post has been saved, but not who specifically saved it.
Important Consideration: Sharing a post via Direct Message is considered a private interaction between the sender and the recipient(s). Instagram's platform is designed to maintain the privacy of these direct communications, meaning the original poster is not notified or given access to information about who sent their post to whom in DMs.
