The ability to view analytics on these platforms is tied to using a business-oriented or creator/advertiser account. This data is provided to help brands and content creators measure performance, audience demographics, and ad impact.

For Instagram, you gain access to Insights once you switch your account to a Business or Creator profile. That Insights dashboard shows metrics like reach, impressions, profile visits, and follower demographics, which are essential for planning content and campaigns.

Pinterest also makes analytics available primarily to business accounts. By converting to a business account, you can see metrics such as impressions, saves, clicks, and audience insights for your pins and boards.

Snapchat’s more detailed analytics and performance data are available through its business/advertiser tools (like Ads Manager and Snap Audience data). Access to these analytics typically requires a business setup rather than a personal, non-commercial account.

So, the statement is true: you generally need a business account to access analytics on Instagram, Pinterest, and Snapchat. Without a business or creator/advertiser setup, you’ll see limited or no platform analytics.
