Instagram New Update: Instagram, as usual, has not escaped the several viral rumors, and the current one making rounds is viewed as saying that the new update will enable you to see who your “regular stalkers” are. This idea created excitement and panic among users, but in truth, Instagram has not released such a feature.
According to trending memes, Instagram will have an update that allows a person to see the names of those who regularly visit the person’s profile. If true, this would completely change the pattern of browsing on such an app, thus putting an end to the anonymous surfing through addictively addictive social media.
Though much has been said about the hype, Instagram really does not allow facilities of users through which they can see who actually visits their profile. The platform has repeatedly told its user: “Privacy is important,” so visits to profiles will stay anonymous. All those apps and website claiming to reveal stalkers are probably scams that might endanger your data.
Story Views: For 24 hours, you can see exactly who has watched your Instagram Story. If someone shows up consistently, it’s a sign they’re closely following your content.
Professional Insights: With Business or Creator account, you’ll have audience insights based on age, gender, reach, and engagement patterns. While it won’t show you stalkers, it helps track your active followers.
Profile Visitors: Instagram does not tell you who has visited your profile.
Third-Party Apps: You should avoid using apps that purport to show stalkers. Most of them are unsafe and designed to steal your personal information.

While you cannot get direct lists, you can look for some hints: users who frequently watch your stories, like, or comment on ancient posts, or remain silent in everything that they do may be watching you closely.
