If you’ve ever wondered who exactly shared your Instagram post, I hate to say it, but Instagram doesn’t directly show you the usernames of the people who shared it — at least not with regular personal accounts.
But here’s what you can do:
If you have a professional or creator account (which is free and easy to switch to in settings), you can view Insights on each post.
Once you open a post and tap “View Insights,” it shows you stats like how many people shared it via DMs. It’ll be listed under something like “Shares” or “Send”.
Unfortunately, it won’t tell you who sent it — just how many times it was shared. So while you can’t get the names of the users, you do at least get a sense of how far your content is being shared around.
If someone shares your post to their story and tags you, you’ll get a notification — but again, if they don’t tag you, you won’t know.
So in short:
✅ Yes, you can see how many people shared your post (with a business or creator account)
❌ But you can’t see exactly who shared it unless they tag you in a story
