How often are Stats updated?

When checking your Advanced Stats, please keep in mind that statistics are updated once a day, and not in real time.

 

The number of Views on my images are different than the number of Views in my Advanced Stats. How are Views calculated?

View is counted only when someone opens the full photo on its detail page. Views from thumbnails or feeds are not included.

In your stats, you can also see the total number of Views and where those Views came from. Sources include Home · For You, Home · Following, Home · Fresh, Search, Profile, Quests, Leaderboard, Editors' Choice, Photo page, Video page, Gallery page, and Photo group page.

This data helps you understand your photo’s total Views and the different pages or features where those Views came from.
