Instagram: average reach per post 2023-2024, by format
In 2024, image posts on Instagram reached 5,200 users, down from 14,800 users in 2023, a decrease of around 64 percent year over year. Carousels, Reels, and Stories on Instagram all saw reach decline between 2023 and 2024. Overall, Reels achieved the highest reach on the social media platform in the most recently reported period. Although all formats saw decreases in reach, engagement increased, so whilst there might not be as many users seeing content, people are interacting more with the content they do see on Instagram.
