How we built the James Charles report

This report covers James Charles' Instagram account, @jamescharles, using the account records available in IQFluence. The figures in this view apply to this account; use the platform switch to view the other linked accounts separately.

The engagement chart shows 10 posts published between 15 Aug 2026 and 25 Sep 2026. These are the content records available in this report; they are not confirmed as a complete account history. They are not confirmed as the sample behind average likes.

The sample size and averaging period for average likes were not supplied. IQFluence calculates engagement rate as Average likes divided by Followers, multiplied by 100. Both values belong to the same analysis. The percentage does not measure unique engaged followers. Calculation details for average comments, average shares and average Reel plays were not supplied.

The source report is dated 5 Oct 2026; a separate collection timestamp for these metrics was not supplied.

IQFluence estimates audience location using location tags, recent-post language and captions, and information from follower bios. Country percentages are estimates, not verified residence data. These estimates do not establish unique reach, purchase intent or campaign sales.
