Meta Ads Library is a tool that provides full transparency into a brand’s advertising efforts. You can see the visuals, text, and platforms used for their campaigns, all in one place. here’s how to use it:

steps to check ads from an instagram account

1. go to the meta ads library.
   open your browser and visit https://www.facebook.com/ads/library/.

2. select your region and ad category.
   use the first dropdown to choose your country or select “all” for a global view. then, set the ad category to “all.”

3. search for the instagram account.
   enter the name of the Instagram account or its associated Facebook Page in the search bar. if no results appear under the Instagram name, try searching for the linked Facebook Page instead.

4. view active ads.
   the tool will display all active ads, including their visuals, text, and the platforms they’re running on (e.g., Instagram, Facebook, Messenger).

the irony? the same tools designed to promote transparency also make it easy to analyze competitors’ strategies. brands may think they’re keeping their plans under wraps, but Meta Ads Library essentially hands you a detailed overview of their campaigns.

so, whether you’re looking for inspiration or just curious about what others are doing, this tool is a simple way to stay informed.
