Today, we present an infographic on how social media platforms count or measure views.
Last week, Instagram announced a significant change in its analytics, by switching all of its data references to “Views” instead of other signifiers like “Reach” and “Plays”. Thsi means that social media platforms are changing the way they measure engagement.
As noted by industry expert Nick Cicero,
“It feels like Groundhog Day all over again – Instagram is getting rid of the impressions metric and the plays metric, and replacing them with the “view” for all content types: Reels, photos, carousels, Stories, and more. But this isn’t the 3-second view from a few years ago. Instead, Instagram joins the trend of consolidating metrics around the 1-second view (basically an impression).”
“The one second view metric provides a straightforward way to measure and compare content performance, making it easier for creators and marketers to optimize strategies across Instagram, TikTok, and X. [But while] a one second view might capture initial interest, that doesn’t reflect deeper engagement.”
