The quiz sticker is one of Instagram’s most engaging story tools — you pose a multiple-choice question, mark the correct answer, and friends guess. The natural question afterward: can you see who answered, and whether they got it right? Yes. Instagram shows the quiz owner a full, named breakdown of who answered and exactly which option each person chose — including whether that guess was correct or wrong.

Like polls, quiz responses are not anonymous. Anyone who taps an answer on your quiz is revealing their choice to you by name. So this is both a guide to reading your quiz results and a heads-up for anyone answering someone else’s quiz: the person who posted it can see what you picked. Here’s how it all works.

Can you see who answered your quiz sticker?

Yes. When you add a quiz sticker to your story and people respond, Instagram records each response against the responder’s username. You can see the list of who answered, grouped by which option they selected, and because a quiz has a designated correct answer, you can also see who guessed right and who guessed wrong. It’s the most detailed of Instagram’s interactive stickers — you get identity and correctness in one view.

How to see your quiz results

While the story is live, do this:

Open your own story containing the quiz sticker.
Swipe up (or tap the insights/viewers area at the bottom of the screen).
You’ll see the viewer list and the quiz results.
Tap into the quiz to see responders grouped by their chosen option, with the correct answer highlighted.

The results update in real time as more people play, and each responder appears with their username next to the choice they made.

How long do quiz answers stay visible?

Quiz results live on the same 24-hour clock as the rest of your story. You can review who answered and what they picked while the story is active and for 24 hours after posting — then it expires and the per-person data is gone. If you want a record, screenshot the results before that window closes. Adding the quiz to a highlight preserves the sticker’s appearance but doesn’t keep serving you a live, growing responder list the way an active story does. The 24-hour expiry is the same rule that governs the story viewer list generally, which we cover in why your story viewers can disappear.

Quiz vs. poll vs. slider vs. questions

All of Instagram’s interactive stickers attribute responses to the owner, but they differ in what exactly they capture. Here’s the comparison.

Sticker	Multiple choice?	Right/wrong answer?	Shows who responded?	Anonymous to responder?
Quiz	Yes (2–4 options)	Yes — has a correct answer	Yes	No
Poll	Yes (2 options)	No	Yes	No
Emoji slider	No (a scale)	No	Yes (their value)	No
Questions	No (open text)	No	Yes (their typed reply)	No

The quiz is unique in having a correct answer, which is why you can see not just what people chose but whether they were right. Everything else is the same principle: the owner sees who engaged and what they said, and none of it is anonymous to the person responding. For the poll side specifically, see can you see who voted on your poll.

Do people know their quiz answer isn’t anonymous?

Frequently not — and that’s worth flagging. The quiz interface is playful and doesn’t warn responders that their pick is attributed. As soon as someone taps an option, though, the animation reveals the correct answer to them, and their choice is logged against their name for you. So there’s an asymmetry: the responder learns whether they were right, and you learn who they are and what they guessed. If you’re answering a quiz on someone’s story, assume they’ll see your name next to your (possibly wrong) guess.

Can you see who saw the quiz but didn’t answer?

Not specifically. People who viewed your story but skipped the quiz just appear in your normal story viewer list (subject to the usual 24-hour expiry and the roughly-50-viewer point where names stop showing chronologically). There’s no separate “saw the quiz, chose not to play” category — non-responders are indistinguishable from any other viewer. The quiz data only covers people who actually tapped an answer.

Can a third-party app reveal more quiz data?

No. Instagram exposes quiz attribution only to the sticker’s owner, inside the app, for 24 hours — and only for quizzes you posted yourself. There’s no public data source for quiz responses, so any tool claiming to show you quiz answers from accounts you don’t own, or to extend the data beyond what Instagram provides, is fabricating it or fishing for your login. Legitimate Instagram tools never ask for your password and only ever read public content. The broader rule applies here as everywhere: no app can reveal private engagement data or who “stalks” your content.

Tips for using the quiz sticker well

Keep options short — two to four concise choices read best on a small screen.
Mark the correct answer carefully before posting; you can’t easily fix it after people start guessing.
Screenshot results you care about before the 24-hour window closes.
Expect honesty from the data — because it’s attributed, quiz results are a genuine read on what your audience knows or thinks, not an anonymous guess pile.

Can you see who saw the quiz result animation?

A small but common question: when someone answers, they see an animation revealing the correct answer — can you tell whether they saw it? Not as a separate data point. You know they answered (that’s logged with their name and choice), and answering is what triggers the reveal for them, so the two go together. But there’s no independent “saw the answer” metric beyond the fact that they responded. People who viewed your story and saw the quiz but never tapped an option simply sit in your normal viewer list, indistinguishable from anyone else who watched.

That’s worth remembering if you’re using the quiz to teach or test something: your data covers participants, not everyone who saw it. A quiz with 200 story views and 30 answers tells you 30 people engaged — it says nothing about what the other 170 knew, only that they didn’t play. Don’t read low participation as low knowledge; plenty of viewers skip interactive stickers entirely.

Bottom line

Yes — you can see exactly who answered your Instagram quiz sticker, which option they chose, and whether they got it right. Swipe up on your live story to view the named breakdown, available for 24 hours before it expires. Quiz responses, like polls, sliders, and question stickers, are not anonymous — the owner always sees the responder’s name. So use the quiz freely to gauge your audience, but if you’re on the answering end, know that your guess is fully visible to whoever posted it.
