Are Instagram reels visible to everyone?
For public accounts: Anyone on Instagram can see and share your reels. People may see your reels on places like the Reels tab and effect, hashtag and audio pages. Anyone on Instagram can record a reel using your original audio. For private accounts: Only your approved followers can see and share your reels.
Do Instagram reels show up on your feed?
By default, Instagram enables sharing to ‘Feed’ which sends your Reels to all of your followers’ Instagram feed and also makes it visible inside your profile grid. You can disable this and only make the Instagram Reel show up inside people’s Explore tabs by toggling the ‘Also Share to Feed’ switch to OFF position.
Why are my reels only shown to my followers?
This kind of visibility is limited when your Instagram account is set to ‘Private’. When you post a Reels video from a private account, only your approved followers can see and share your reels. Your Reels even if they’re shared by someone who follows you can then only be viewed by other accounts who follow you.
Can people see your reels if you’re private?
If you have a Private Account: Reels follows your privacy settings on Instagram. You can share to Feed so only your followers can see your reel. People will not be able to use original audio from your reels, and people cannot share your reels with others who don’t follow you.
How can I see who viewed my reels?
Even though you can’t see who viewed your reels, you can see how many people viewed them:
- Open the Instagram app and go to the reels section.
- Find the reel for which you want to see the view count.
- Tap the number under the heart icon.
- You’ll see the number of times your reel was played.

What counts as a view on reels?
A “view” on Reels is counted from the moment a video plays, though the metric is still in development, according to Instagram’s help page. On Instagram feed, Facebook feed and IGTV a view is counted after three seconds.
Can someone see if you watch their reels?
Similar to IGTV, you’ll be able to see who has liked and commented on your video as well as how many times your video has been viewed, but you cannot see who has viewed your Instagram Reel. Unlike Instagram Stories, the feature doesn’t track who watches your video.
