Can you see who viewed your Instagram Story from a specific archive?

SEO

 Instagram allows users to see who viewed their Stories while they are still active (within the 24-hour window). However, once the Story expires and is moved to the Archive, the ability to see the list of viewers is lost. Here's how it works:

### Viewing Story Views (While Active)
1. **Open Your Story**: Tap on your active Story.
2. **Swipe Up**: Swipe up on the Story or tap the "Seen by" icon at the bottom left to see the list of people who have viewed it.

### Archived Stories
- **Accessing Archived Stories**: You can view your archived Stories by going to your profile, tapping the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top right corner, selecting "Archive," and then choosing the Story Archive.
- **Viewer List Unavailable**: While you can view the archived Stories themselves, Instagram does not display the list of viewers once the Story has been archived. The viewer data is only available during the 24-hour period when the Story is live.

### Why Viewer Data is Limited to Active Stories
This limitation is likely in place for several reasons:
- **Privacy**: Limiting the viewer data to the active period helps protect user privacy.
- **Data Management**: Storing and managing viewer data indefinitely for all users' Stories could be highly resource-intensive.

In conclusion, you can see who viewed your Instagram Story only while it is still active. After it has moved to the Archive, the viewer information is no longer accessible.
