Frequently Asked Questions

Everything content creators need to know about Instagram Reels analytics

What is IShort and what does it do?

IShort is a free Instagram Reels analytics Chrome extension designed specifically for content creators. It provides powerful insights to help you grow on Instagram — track views, engagement rates, find your best posting times, analyze competitors, and export data. Everything you need to make data-driven decisions and grow your audience.

How do I find my best posting time for Instagram Reels?

IShort analyzes your historical Reels performance to identify when your content gets the most engagement. The analytics dashboard shows hourly and daily performance patterns, highlighting peak engagement times specific to your audience. Simply install the extension, visit your Instagram Reels page, and check the "Best Posting Times" chart to see personalized recommendations based on your actual data.

Does IShort access my Instagram password or private data?

No. IShort never asks for or stores your Instagram credentials. The extension only reads publicly available Reels data directly from your browser — the same information anyone can see by visiting a profile. All data processing happens locally on your device. We don't have servers that store your data, and we never see your credentials or private information.

Can I export my Instagram Reels data to Excel or Google Sheets?

Yes! IShort allows you to export all your Reels analytics to CSV format, which opens directly in Excel, Google Sheets, or any spreadsheet application. Export includes views, likes, comments, engagement rate, posting time, hashtags, and more. Perfect for creating custom reports, tracking growth over time, or sharing data with your team or clients.

What metrics can I track with IShort?

IShort tracks comprehensive Instagram Reels metrics including: views, likes, comments, engagement rate, posting date/time, video duration, hashtags used, mentions, music/audio information, and video dimensions. You can sort and filter by any metric to identify your top-performing content and understand what resonates with your audience.

Does IShort work for competitor analysis?

Yes! You can use IShort to analyze any public Instagram profile's Reels. Visit a competitor's Reels page, and IShort will collect and display their analytics. This helps you benchmark your performance, identify successful content strategies in your niche, and discover optimal posting times that work for similar creators.

Why should content creators use Instagram Reels analytics?

Data-driven content creation is the difference between hoping for growth and achieving it. Analytics help you understand what content performs best, when your audience is most active, and which strategies drive engagement. Without analytics, you're guessing. With IShort, you're making informed decisions based on real data — the same approach that successful creators use across all platforms to grow their audience faster.
