Instagram Focuses On Views Now
Instagram recently announced that it will now streamline its performance metrics and make 'views' the primary measurement across all content formats. Instagram chief Adam Mosseri in a post said, “Historically we’ve shown different metrics for Reels vs. other posts, but we want to evolve this so it’s easier to understand how your content is doing regardless of the format.”
He stressed on the difference between 'reach' and 'views'. He stated that a single user can contribute multiple views to a piece of content. Mosseri also recommended monitoring 'sends per reach' as a key indicator of content performance. He added, “Both are probably the most important metrics for anybody trying to understand how their content is doing on Instagram.”
By combining metrics and emphasising key insights, Instagram seeks to give creators a more cohesive and in-depth view of how their content is performing across different formats.
