How to access Instagram insights for Live and Reels
These useful statistics can be accessed through Instagram’s Account Insights page, which is accessible via the pull-down menu located in the upper-right corner. As noted by Engadget, the page gives you access to more useful information.
The Reach section now divides accounts interacting with a user’s content into followers and non-followers. Further, it ranks content based on reach and account type interaction to give users an idea on what’s most effective for their audiences.
Instagram’s insights data will be available on desktop “in the near future.“
