TL;DR — No. You cannot see who clicked the link in your Instagram bio, and no tool can tell you that. You can see how many people clicked, and with a link-in-bio page you can see which individual link they chose. Instagram reports this as external link taps and only for professional accounts.

Can You See Who Clicked Your Link on Instagram?
No — not as a named person. Instagram does not expose the identity of anyone who taps your bio link, to you or to any third-party service. Analytics on link clicks are aggregate by design: counts, not people.
This trips people up because Instagram does name individuals for some interactions — you can see exactly who liked a post, who viewed your story, who shared it. Link taps are not in that group. A tap sends the visitor to a website outside Instagram, and at that point they are an anonymous web visitor.
So any tool promising a list of names for bio link clicks is either misdescribing what it does or is not worth trusting with your account.
What Instagram Does Show You: External Link Taps
Instagram Insights reports external link taps — how many times people tapped the link in your profile over a chosen period. It is available on professional accounts (Creator or Business), not personal ones, and it is a single aggregate number.
Its limits matter. It counts taps on the profile link, so if you post link stickers in stories those are reported separately. It gives you no breakdown of destination, because as far as Instagram is concerned there is only one link. And it tells you nothing about what happened after the tap.
How to See Which Link People Clicked on Your Instagram
This is the useful version of the question, and it is answerable. Put a link-in-bio page behind your profile link and every destination on it becomes separately measurable. Instead of “412 people left Instagram”, you get which of your eight links they actually chose.
That distinction is what changes decisions. If your shop link takes 70% of taps and five other links split the rest, the five are costing you attention. Linkie’s link analytics report taps per link so you can cut the dead ones and promote what people already want.
Two other things worth measuring the same way:
Which content drives taps. Compare tap counts on days you post a Reel against quiet days.
What happens after the click. Add UTM parameters to the destinations so your own site analytics attribute sales back to Instagram.
Why Instagram Does Not Show You Who Clicked
Because it would identify a person’s browsing to a third party. Naming everyone who tapped through to an external site would expose individual behaviour outside the platform, which is exactly the category of data privacy regulation restricts and app stores police. Aggregate counts avoid that. This is not an Instagram gap that will close — TikTok, YouTube and LinkedIn all work the same way.
What About Story Link Stickers?
Same answer, different report. Story link stickers give you a tap count in the story’s own insights, and again no identities. Story insights expire with the story unless you save it to a highlight, so record the numbers if you are comparing performance over time.
Instagram Link Click FAQ
Can you see if someone clicks the link in your Instagram bio?
You can see that clicks happened and how many. You cannot see which account made them.
What are external link taps on Instagram?
Instagram’s Insights metric counting taps on your profile link over a selected period, available on professional accounts.
Can a link in bio tool show me who clicked?
No. It can show how many people clicked each individual link, which is the more useful figure, but never who they were.
How do I see link clicks on a personal Instagram account?
You cannot — Insights requires a professional account. Switching is free, or use a link-in-bio page, which counts clicks regardless of your account type.
Does Instagram notify someone when I click their link?
No. Tapping a bio link is anonymous to the account owner.
