Instagram has not provided the option to know who has viewed your Instagram in all parts. In some cases, you can see who has viewed your profile using tools, and find out the stalkers. But this is not the case for all other sections.
Here we will go through the story’s views, and we learn more about the options we have to know who has viewed our Instagram stories.
How to see who viewed your Instagram story
Instagram will let you know who has viewed your story just less than 24 hours of publishing time. Even if you save it in your Instagram app, or make it highlight you cannot find out who has viewed it after 24 hours. So, one way to keep your audiences is to take screenshots from viewers. Otherwise, the list of viewers will disappear after certain time.

- Open your Instagram app

How to see who viewed your Instagram story the most?
There is no option on Instagram to see who has viewed your Instagram story the most. However, finding out who is our loyal follower can be interesting, specifically when it comes to appreciate them.
Somehow it can be done through human analysis, you know who commented most on your posts, or who has replied to your stories most.
Since I have browsed the internet, to this day there is no online tools to find out the interaction circle. Social media interaction circle shows who engaged with you most, and this tool is available for other social networks such as Twitter, but not Instagram.
It would be a great idea if a team come and create such tool, to find out the most engaged followers.
How to see who viewed your Instagram story after 24 hours?
If you want to see who has viewed your Instagram story after 24 hours, you must use access to the third party apps, which store your data, and they will show them to you later.

Instagram may SUSPEND your account if you connect your app to some unrecognized apps.
