Photo and carousel collaborations never have a views count, and a Reel's creator can hide its view count from collaborators. See Why views are missing for Instagram collaborative posts for both cases.
Instagram Collaborations metrics
Updated 2 days ago
The Collaborations section shows the posts you published together with another Instagram account and how each one performed.
Good to know
Connection type: Collaboration data is available only for Instagram accounts connected through Facebook login. Accounts connected directly through Instagram login always show zero collaborations.
Published in period: The date range determines which collaborative posts appear in the list, but each post's metrics are cumulative from its publication date — not just the activity that happened within the selected range.
Data availability: Collaborations data starts on January 1, 2026, with no backfill, so posts published before that date won't appear in any date range you select. Free plans also have the same 30-day storage restriction as the rest of your analytics. See Historical data available for more details.

Inside Collaborations, Metricool shows two subtabs: Evolution, for overall trends across the selected period, and List of collaborations, for the performance of each individual post.
In Metricool Studio
Collaboration data is available as an Analytics table in Metricool Studio, so you can create Studio views and insight questions focused on the performance of your collaborative posts. This brings Collaborations in line with the other Analytics tables connected to Studio.
