Who viewed my instagram story?

Great questions—here’s a precise breakdown:

1. Instagram’s Story Viewer List

The list shows every account (public or approved private) that viewed your story.

The list is available only for 24 hours (while the story is live).

If you archive stories, Instagram lets you see viewer counts later—but the actual names disappear after 24 hours.

2. Order of Viewers

The order is not public knowledge, but it is widely believed to be influenced by:

Accounts you interact with most (DMs, likes, comments).

Accounts who interact with your profile.

Not purely chronological or alphabetical.

The order doesn’t directly indicate who “views the most,” but may suggest mutual engagement.

3. Third-Party Tools for Story Views

No safe or legitimate third-party tool can actually show more than what Instagram gives natively.

Apps/websites that claim to show hidden viewers, stalkers, or detailed story analytics are scams or serious privacy risks. Avoid them.

Privacy Tip:
If you ever need to view Instagram Stories anonymously, use Picnob—it works without login and doesn’t notify the account owner.

Summary:
You see everyone who viewed your story (for 24h), the order is algorithmic, and no safe tool gives extra insights. Don’t trust apps promising more detail—they’re unsafe.
