What is "Views"?
The Views metric on Instagram tracks the total number of times your content has been displayed to users across all your posts, stories, and reels. Unlike reach, which counts unique users, views count every instance where your content appears on someone's screen, meaning the same user can generate multiple views if they see your content multiple times. This metric helps you understand the overall visibility and exposure of your content, providing insights into how frequently your posts are being shown in feeds, stories, and the explore page. High view counts indicate strong content performance and algorithm favorability, while low views may suggest the need to optimize posting times, hashtags, or content quality.
Example: A fitness brand posts a workout video that receives 10,000 views. This means the video appeared on users' screens 10,000 times total, which could include the same user seeing it multiple times in their feed, stories, or explore page.
