FAQ
Questions, answered.
Can you view Instagram Reel insights on desktop?
Instagram’s website shows only part of your Reel insights. The fuller set — second-by-second retention, like timing, audience age, country and gender, and sources of views — lives in the mobile app. ReelCurve shows that set in Chrome for Reels your signed-in account owns.
How do I see the retention graph for my Reels on a PC or laptop?
Open one of your Reels on instagram.com in Chrome and click ReelCurve. The Overview tab shows the retention curve; hover or use the arrow keys to read the exact share of viewers still watching at each second.
Is ReelCurve safe for my Instagram account?
ReelCurve is read-only. It never posts, edits, likes or follows, never asks for your password and does not read your cookies. It makes one request per Reel you open, from your own browser, and pauses itself if Instagram asks it to slow down. No third-party tool can promise how Instagram treats an account, but ReelCurve is built to behave like a person checking their own stats.
Do I need a professional Instagram account?
Instagram provides Reel insights to professional (creator or business) accounts. If the app shows insights for your Reel, ReelCurve can show them on desktop.
Can I see insights for someone else’s Reel?
No. You only see insights that your signed-in Instagram account is allowed to view — your own Reels.
Do I need my phone or an emulator?
No. Everything runs in Chrome with the Instagram login you already use.
What does Pro unlock?
Views, viewers, follower split, likes, comments, shares, saves and follows are free on every Reel. Pro adds retention, like timing, performance versus your typical Reel, sources of views, audience demographics, profile visits, watch time and exports on every Reel. New users get every Pro insight free on 3 Reels on their first day, then on 1 Reel every day.
Is ReelCurve affiliated with Instagram or Meta?
No. ReelCurve is an independent product and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Instagram or Meta.
Know the second they swipe.
Your first 3 Reels get every mobile insight free, then 1 Reel every day. No account needed.
