To see your Instagram analytics in Sheer, you need to connect your Instagram account and grant insights access.
1

Start the connection

During onboarding, you’ll see the Connect your socials screen. Click Connect with Instagram. You’ll be redirected to Instagram’s authorization screen.
2

Approve both permissions

Instagram will ask you to approve two permissions:
  • View profile and access media — required, always on.
  • Access and manage insights — required, you must keep this toggled ON.

If you turn off Access and manage insights, Sheer cannot read any of your analytics data. Make sure both toggles are enabled before continuing.
3

Click Allow

Click the Allow button. Sheer will start pulling in your data.
That’s it — your Instagram is connected. Data typically appears within a few minutes.

Something not working?

If Sheer isn’t showing your Instagram data after connecting, you may have accidentally turned off insights access. See How to Re-enable Instagram Insights Access to fix it.
