could views reporting issue but it hard to tell if distribution is affected too.give it some time and check again before assuming the reel flopped.

This is also a very common issue. Have you tried reposting that video at a different time? Has the result changed?

Before considering this a bug, I'd check two things: Settings > Account Status—you can see there whether your content can be recommended to non-subscribers. And Reel's statistics: if almost all views are from subscribers, it's simply not being promoted, it's not a bug.

adding engage comment on other follow profiles posts with making good quality reel content and include of rank caption with trend hashtags to ensure views,profile growth and engagement.

i saw my story views freeze at 0 until i cleared the Instagram cache on my Pixel 6; go to Settings → Apps → Instagram → Storage and tap Clear cache, then reopen the app and the view count updates correctly

so I posted a BANGER last night, it didn't get views initially so I went to sleep, woke up to see it had only gotten 33 views

asked around and apparently insta is facing a bug rn, not updating views and not pushing videos

anyone else facing the same?

not currently posting on there but in the past, people would say when ig is doing updates then weird things happen.
