Instagram Insights sehen: Wo finde ich meine Statistiken?

No analytics talk, no optimization babble. Just the answer to the question: Where can I find my Instagram statistics?

What are Instagram Insights anyway?

Instagram Insights briefly explained

InstagramInsights are Instagram's integrated statistics. They show you, among other things:

Reach
Impressions
engagement
interactions
Follower development
Content performance

If you don't see these figures, the correct account type is almost always missing.

Prerequisite: Correct account type

Instagram Insights Business Account

With a business account, you can see

Profile Insights
Post insights
Reels & story statistics

Instagram Insights Creator Account

With a Creator Account you see almost the same:

Reach
engagement
Follower data

👉 Private account = no Insights

Update app
restart
Patience (sometimes)

See Instagram statistics but don't understand anything?

That's normal.

Instagram Insights show numbers, but:

no rating
no explanation
no recommendations

If you want more than "see", you need:

KPIs
comparisons
Context (keyword: social media analytics)

Typical mistakes when searching for Instagram Insights

Search in the browser
Search in private account
Expecting the wrong menu structure
Confusing individual posts with overall performance

Instagram doesn't hide anything - it limits.
