Instagram does not show any names with it. With a professional account, you can see how many times your post was saved. To do this, open your own photo or video and view the statistics, also called Insights. Your own collection of saved posts does not provide this information.<\/p>\n<p>Below, you can read where to find the number and what you can infer from it.<\/p>\n<nav aria-label=\"Table of contents\">\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#namen-of-aantallen\">Names, numbers and your own saved posts<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#aantal-opgeslagen\">See how many times your post was saved<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#zelf-opslaan\">What does the creator see when you save a post?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#apps\">Apps that promise names<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#betekenis\">What the number of saves says<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#reels-carrousels\">Saved Reels and carousel posts<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/nav>\n<h2 id=\"namen-of-aantallen\">Saving Instagram posts: the difference between names and numbers<\/h2>\n<p>Do you want to know who saves your photo, how often it happens or where your own saved photos are? These are three different questions.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>What do you want to know?<\/th>\n<th>What can you view?<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Who saved my post?<\/td>\n<td>You do not get to see any names or a list of accounts.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>How many times was my post saved?<\/td>\n<td>You can see the number in the statistics of a professional account.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Which posts have I saved myself?<\/td>\n<td>They are in your own collection of saved posts. This collection does not show who saves your posts.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pathsocial.com\/nl\/resources\/how-to-see-if-someone-saved-your-instagram-post-a-key-guide\/\">Path Social explains this difference<\/a>: a business account or creator account can see numbers through Insights, not names.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"aantal-opgeslagen\">Where can you see how many times your Instagram post was saved?<\/h2>\n<p>You can find the number in the statistics of your own post. You need a professional account for this: a business account or creator account.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Check which account you have.<\/strong> With a personal account, these statistics are not available in the same way as with a professional account.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Open your own post.<\/strong> Choose the photo or video whose number you want to view.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Open the statistics for that post.<\/strong> Look for the number of saves. Sometimes this is called saves, the English word for saved posts.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The location and name of the option may vary. Do you not see any statistics? First check your account type and whether you are viewing your own post. If the option is missing, that does not automatically mean that nobody has saved your post.<\/p>\n<p>Are you considering a professional account? Think about whether you want to use the statistics. You do not need to switch accounts for names: they remain hidden with such an account as well.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"zelf-opslaan\">Can someone see that you save an Instagram post?<\/h2>\n<p>No, the creator cannot see through the statistics that you saved the post. Your username does not appear in a list of people who saved the post.<\/p>\n<p>Suppose you save a recipe to cook on Saturday. The creator cannot tell from the number of saves that you want to try that recipe. You can find it again in your own saved posts.<\/p>\n<p>This applies to saving the post itself. Do you also send the post to someone or tell them that you saved it? Then you are sharing that information yourself.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"apps\">Can apps show who saved your Instagram post?<\/h2>\n<p>Apps that promise to show these names do not offer a reliable way to see who saved your post. Also <a href=\"https:\/\/sociavault.com\/blog\/can-you-see-who-saved-instagram-post\">SociaVault discusses this limitation with third party apps<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A list of profile pictures can seem convincing. But such a list does not prove that those accounts actually saved your post.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Do not give your password to a service that promises to show hidden names with it.<\/li>\n<li>Do not pay to view such a list of names.<\/li>\n<li>Have you already shared your password? Change it through Instagram and check which apps have access to your account.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"betekenis\">What does the number of saves say about your Instagram post?<\/h2>\n<p>The number shows how many times your post was saved. It does not say why someone did so or whether they later returned to view the post. You also do not know whether that person showed it to someone else.<\/p>\n<p>So read it as a number of actions, not as a number of different people or fans.<\/p>\n<p>A fictional example: you post a photo of your dinner and later a post with the recipe. The photo is saved 3 times and the recipe 12 times. So the recipe was saved more often. That does not mean everyone cooked it too.<\/p>\n<p>Do you want to know which of your posts are saved more often? Compare a few similar posts after approximately the same amount of time. Note the topic and number of saves for each post. Look at several posts before drawing a conclusion. Being saved more often is no guarantee that your post reaches more people.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"reels-carrousels\">Can you see who saved your Reel or carousel post?<\/h2>\n<p>With Reels and carousel posts, too, you do not get a list of names of people who save them. A carousel post is a post with multiple photos or videos. So the type of post does not change the difference between names and numbers.<\/p>\n<p>Saving is different from viewing.
