Instagram stats checker FAQ

Do I have to share my Instagram password or login?

No. IShort never asks for your Instagram password, and it never posts, likes, follows or messages. You use Instagram in your own browser as normal, and IShort reads the public numbers on the pages you open.

How can I check someone's Instagram stats?

Install IShort, open their public profile or its Reels tab on instagram.com, then click the IShort icon and press Scroll. IShort lists each reel with its views, likes, comments, engagement % and date, and you can sort by Views, Viral Score, Likes, Comments or Date.

Is there a free Instagram stats checker?

Yes. IShort is free to install, and the Free plan includes 500 reels analyzed and 10 AI transcripts (one-time) with every analytics feature, including the posting-time heatmap and hashtag stats. Hobby ($10 a month) and Creator ($29 a month) raise the limits.

Can I see an account's follower growth?

No. IShort shows reel stats, not follower counts, follower growth history or follower lists. An account's current follower count is on its Instagram profile.

Does it work on private accounts?

Only private accounts you already follow. IShort reads what Instagram already shows you and never gets around its privacy settings. It doesn't read comment text, DMs or stories.

Can I export Instagram stats to Excel or Google Sheets?

Yes. Download a CSV, which opens in Excel, or press Copy and paste into Google Sheets. Columns include URL, caption, type, views, likes, comments, duration, engagement %, date, hashtags and music. On the Free plan, export works until you pass the free limit.

Does IShort show TikTok or YouTube stats?

No. IShort is built only for Instagram.
