For accessing the IG Insights, make sure to navigate through the page and tap at the top where it tells you about the profile page. At the same time, you can tap the available menu button right at the top right of the hand corner and then find "insights" as the main option. These insights are split right into three major tabs, with different information. Those are Activity, Content, and Audience.

Learning about activity

In this tab, there are two forms of IG Insights. One is interactions and another one is Discovery. You better learn about these options before coming to the right answer.

  • In this category, you can check total actions taken on the account in a past week, followed by a list of some other metrics.
  • You have the profile visits, website clicks, calls, emails as the four categories covered under this stage.
  • With the help of this graph, you can check the day of the week with the most interactions and comparison of interactions from the last week. This section of IG Insights is limited to only 7 days.

Going through discovery

This is another subsection of the activity category, whose main issue is associated with overall performance and then the influence of the IG account using two major metrics. Those two options are reach and impressions.

  • This form of weekly information is viable as you get to compare reach depending on some campaigns or even the social activity.
  • Tracking such metrics is mandatory to know if the efforts are working to promote the IG account to be successful enough and if it should be part of SMM strategy.

Next stop is the Content category

In this tab, you will catch up with IG Insights associated with individualized posts on the profile. This section will include video and photo content, stories and some promotional paid posts as already published. This content is then separated into stories, feed, and promotions.

  • Under the fed category, you have information about feed content for past 2 years. Those insights over here are comments, calls, emails, follows, engagements, get directions, impressions, profile visits, likes, reach, website clicks and saved.
  • Stories will be another subsection under content, viewing the IG insights of stories. The metric sheds light on ways users view and interact with your posted stories.
  • Under the promotion subcategory, you will find metrics associated with any paid ads and promotions that you have published or just running on the account.

The Audience is the last key

The final tab under IG insights is the audience, where you get a better understanding of the followers and their living area. You will further come to see the number of followers as varying from the previous week. There are 4 major sets of information about followers as age range, gender, followers and top locations.
