If you run a business with an Instagram account, viewing your Instagram Insights on desktop can help you monitor trends and optimize your profile. In this guide, I’ll show you 3 different ways to view your Instagram insights on Desktop – from beginner to advanced!

Step 2: View Basic Insights in Creator Studio

Creator Studio is the official scheduling tool that works for both Facebook and Instagram. Their analytics are available on Desktop but they are very basic.

What Instagram analytics can you track with Creator Studio?
