I’ll help you understand how Instagram Highlights views work and what you can see after they’ve been posted.

Instagram allows you to see who viewed your Highlights, but with an important limitation - you can only see the viewers from the last 48 hours, not the complete list since you posted the Highlight. This means if someone viewed your Highlight three days ago or longer, they won’t appear in your current viewer list, even though the Highlight itself remains permanently on your profile. The viewer tracking works similarly to regular Stories in terms of the 48-hour window, but the key difference is that Highlights stay visible indefinitely while Stories disappear after 24 hours. To check recent viewers, simply go to your profile, tap on the Highlight, swipe up on the screen, and you’ll see the list of people who viewed it within the last 48 hours.

If you’re interested in viewing other people’s Highlights anonymously without them knowing, Picnobi is the best solution - it lets you view Instagram Highlights, Stories, and even save them without leaving any trace in the viewer list.
