How to switch between multiple instagram accounts


How to create multiple Instagram accounts and switch between them

Sometimes, one Instagram account is not enough. Whether you’re starting a business, managing a feed for your job, or just want a place specifically reserved for showcasing your photography, it’s easier than ever to manage multiple Instagram accounts at once.

Back in the day, you had to log completely out of one Instagram account before you could sign in to another. But nowadays, Instagram allows you to switch back and forth between accounts without logging out. Here’s everything you need to know about juggling several Instagrams.

How many Instagram accounts can you have?

According to Instagram’s Help Center, you can have up to five different Instagram accounts, which you can switch between without logging out. (This is not to say that you can’t have more than five, but after you reach that limit, you’ll have to log out and log back in to access additional profiles.)

It’s also important to note that this option is only available for iPhones and Androids with the 7. 15 update (available in the App Store and the Google Play Store). So if you are unable to add additional accounts, you may need to update your Instagram app.

Can you create multiple Instagram accounts with one email address?

No. At this time, every Instagram account must have an individual email address. You can’t create multiple Instagram accounts with the same email address.

However, that doesn’t mean you have to create a new email address for every new account you make. If you create a second Instagram account via the app, you can sign up with your phone number instead of your email address.

Creating and managing multiple accounts on Instagram

Now that we’ve covered the basics, it’s time to dive into all the different ways to create and manage several accounts on Instagram. In the following section, you’ll find all the instructions you need to create new profiles, along with the answers to some of the top questions about having multiple accounts.

How to create a new Instagram account

Before share how to manage multiple accounts, let’s start with the basics: creating an Instagram account. Whether it’s your first account or your third, the same rules apply.

There are two ways you can create an Instagram account: from the app on your iPhone and from the website on your computer. Below are instructions for creating an Instagram account on your iPhone:

  1. Open your Instagram app.
  2. Press the icon of your profile photo at the bottom-right of the screen.
  3. Press your account name.
  4. Select Add Account
  5. Select Create New Account.
  6. Create a username and password and fill out your profile details.
  7. Press Next.

If you want to create an Instagram account from your desktop, follow these instructions:

  1. Open your desktop browser.
  2. Go to www.instagram.com.
  3. If you already have an Instagram account, log out of it.
  4. Click Sign Up.
  5. Enter your email address.
  6. Create a username and password and fill out your profile details.
  7. Press Done.

Using either of these options will create a brand new Instagram account for you to use.

How to create a second Instagram account

When you add a new account to your app following the instructions in the previous section, the account will automatically be added in your app. That way, you can easily switch back and forth between them.

However, if you need to add a second account that you created elsewhere or at an earlier time, here’s how you can do that:

  1. Open your Instagram app.
  2. Press the icon of your profile photo at the bottom-right of the screen.
  3. Press the three horizontal lines at the top-right of the screen.
  4. Select Settings
  5. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and select Add Account.
  6. Select Log Into Existing Account.
  7. Enter your account information and log in.

Note that after you add a new account to your Instagram app, you will receive notifications from all of the profiles you’ve added unless you manually turn off your notifications. So if you don’t want your phone to blow up all day with messages and likes, it might be a good idea to put your secondary account on silent.

How to switch accounts on Instagram

Here’s how to switch between multiple Instagram accounts using the app:

  1. Open your Instagram app.
  2. Press the icon of your profile photo at the bottom-right of the screen.
  3. Press your username at the top of the screen.
  4. Select the account you’d like to switch to.

And that’s it! After you’ve added your new account to the app, you can switch back and forth whenever you want.

How to remove a second Instagram account from the app

Not all Instagrams were meant to last forever. So if you find yourself needing to remove an Instagram account from your app, there are just a few simple steps you need to follow.

Here’s how to remove a secondary account from your Instagram app:

  1. Open your Instagram app.
  2. Press the icon of your profile photo at the bottom-right of the screen.
  3. Press the three horizontal lines at the top-right of the screen.
  4. Select Settings
  5. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and select Login Info.
  6. Press the blue checkmark next to the account you wish to remove.
  7. Press Remove.

While following these steps will remove the account from your Instagram app, it will not disable or delete the account.

Can you merge Instagram accounts?

Even though you can jump back and forth between up to five Instagram accounts at a time, you cannot merge those accounts.

At this time, there is no way to merge followers and content from multiple accounts into a single account. The closest you can get is following the same people on both accounts and reposting the same photos.

In this modern-day world of social media and internet personalities, more people than ever are managing multiple social media accounts at once. Whether you’re doing this for work or to show off your many cool hobbies, we hope this guide makes having multiple Instagram accounts a breeze.

How to Add and Manage Multiple Instagram Accounts [One Email]

Do you manage multiple Instagram accounts? If so, you know that it can be a pain to keep track of them all. Not to mention, if you use the same email address for all of your accounts, you have to constantly log in and out just to switch between them.

But what if I told you there was an Instagram hack that lets you manage multiple accounts with just one email?

It’s true! With a little bit of setup, you can easily add and manage several Instagram accounts from a single email address. Follow this guide to find out everything you need to know about running multiple Instagram accounts—and how to avoid posting to the wrong one.

This feature is included in version 7.15 and above for iOS and Android and will work on any Instagram app using that software.

If you’re working with a later version, or simply want to manage more than five accounts at once, a social media dashboard like Hootsuite allows you to manage even more Instagram accounts and share the management responsibilities with other team members.

How to manage multiple Instagram accounts on mobile

Manage multiple Instagram accounts using Hootsuite

Using a social media management platform like Hootsuite, you can easily manage all of your social media accounts (including one or more Instagram accounts) from your computer. Hootsuite also provides access to advanced features like bulk scheduling and detailed analytics.

Adding multiple Instagram accounts to Hootsuite on mobile

How to manage multiple Instagram accounts on desktop

By now you’re probably wondering, how do I manage multiple Instagram accounts on my desktop?

If you’re managing multiple business accounts, it’s a good idea to use the Hootsuite dashboard for your posts, rather than managing your accounts directly within the Instagram app.

For one thing, the Instagram desktop app is not as proficient as the mobile app. If you want to manage several Instagram accounts on Instagram for desktop, you’ll need to log out and in every time you want to use a different account.

Not to mention, the Instagram app is limited to managing 5 Instagram accounts, including both business and personal accounts. But on Hootsuite, business users can add up to 35 social profiles to their dashboards.

As well, managing multiple business Instagram accounts in Hootsuite also allows you to collaborate with team members and access advanced analytics from the same platform you use to manage and measure your other social accounts.

Connecting Instagram accounts to Hootsuite on desktop

If you want to learn how to manage multiple business Instagram accounts, you need to make sure each of your Instagram accounts is connected to a Facebook Page.

Classic pages
  1. To connect a classic Instagram account to Hootsuite, sign in to your Facebook account and select Pages. Then, choose your page from the options shown.
  2. Open your page and select Settings.
  3. Then, select Instagram.

If you haven’t yet connected your account, you’ll be prompted to do so. You’ll need to enter your Instagram account details. Once you’re logged in, you’re ready to connect to Hootsuite. More info on that below.

New pages experience

If you’re using Meta’s new pages experience, follow these steps to connect your Instagram for business account.

  1. Sign in to your Facebook account and select your profile picture from the top right-hand corner. Then, click See all profiles.
  2. Choose the page you want to manage.
  3. Once you’re using your page, click Manage under your page’s cover photo.
  4. Chooses Instagram and then Connect account. Enter your Instagram account details and you’re ready to go.
  5. Then, select Linked accounts from the left-hand menu.

 

 

 

Now you can add your Instagram business accounts to Hootsuite. Simply navigate to your Hootsuite dashboard on desktop, log in, and click Add social account at the top of your Streams view.

Repeat these steps for each Instagram business account you want to add to Hootsuite.

Watch this video for a visual walkthrough.

How to post on multiple Instagram accounts on Hootsuite desktop

Log into your Hootsuite dashboard and click on the Composer icon. Then, choose Post.

In Composer, choose the Instagram accounts you want to publish to. You can choose multiple accounts, or just one.

Add your copy, images, videos, and any relevant tags to your post.

From there, you can choose to post right now or schedule your post for later. Be sure to use the best times to post when scheduling content in the future.

How to manage multiple Instagram accounts with a creator profile

As we said before, the Instagram desktop version isn’t ideal for managing multiple accounts. If you’re looking for a simple solution for managing Instagram on a desktop, try Facebook’s free dashboard, Creator Studio.

Creator Studio makes it possible to post and schedule content to multiple accounts and access Instagram Insights from desktop and mobile.

To connect to Instagram in Creator Studio, follow these steps:

  1. Switch to a business profile or creator account.
  2. Go to Creator Studio and click on the Instagram icon at the top of the screen.
  3. Follow the prompts to sign into Instagram from Creator Studio. You will need to use your Instagram username and password.

That’s it!

If your Instagram account is connected to a Facebook Page, the process may look a little different depending on the relationship between your Facebook Page and Instagram account.

How push notifications work with multiple Instagram accounts

If you have push notifications for several Instagram accounts turned on, you will get notifications for all of them on your mobile device.

Each notification will indicate the relevant account name in brackets before the content of the notification.

Tapping a notification will take you directly to the relevant Instagram account, regardless of which account you last used.

If you’re using Instagram and a notification comes in from one of your other accounts, you will see the notification at the top of your screen.

If you’re managing multiple Instagram accounts on one device, it might be overwhelming to have them all sending push notifications. Fortunately, you can adjust the push notifications for each of your Instagram accounts separately.

Here’s how to change your notification settings on Instagram:

  1. From the account you wish to adjust notifications for, tap the hamburger icon in the top right, then tap Settings.
  2. Tap Notifications.
  3. Choose which actions you want notifications for this account. You can also choose to pause notifications for up to 8 hours.
  4. Repeat the steps for each account to customize the push notifications you get for each of your Instagram accounts.

How to delete multiple Instagram accounts

At some point, you might want to remove one of your Instagram accounts from the app.

Why? Since you can manage a maximum of five accounts from the Instagram app, you might want to remove an account in order to make room to add a new one.

Or, maybe you’re no longer working on a particular account and simply want to make sure you don’t post to it accidentally.

Here’s how to remove an Instagram account on your phone:

  1. Open the Instagram app and go to your profile. Tap the hamburger icon, then Settings. If you’re on an Android phone, choose Multi-account login. Apple Instagram users choose Login info.
  2. Deselect the account you want to remove, then tap Remove in the pop-up box. 
  3. Note that, although it may seem like you’re finished, you haven’t actually removed the account from your app yet—you’ve just removed it from the Multi-Account Login. There are a few more steps to remove it from the app.
  4. Next, go back to your profile, and switch to the account you want to remove.
  5. Tap the hamburger icon, then Settings.
  6. Tap Log Out [username], then tap Log Out in the pop-up box.

When you go back to your profile and tap on your username, you will see the removed account is no longer included in the drop-down.

Repeat these steps for each account you’d like to delete.

Note: Removing your account from the app does not delete your account. If you want to delete your account (forever), follow the steps provided by Instagram.

Save time by scheduling and publishing content, engaging with your audience, and analyzing your results—all from a single platform.

How to switch between Instagram accounts on a computer

Author Ekaterina Murakaeva For reading 6 min. Posted by

Instagram has a handy feature that not everyone knows about: switching between profiles. We will talk about how to switch between Instagram accounts on a computer and, most importantly, what it can be useful for, in the article.

Why do we need multiple Instagram accounts?

There can be many reasons. The most common is the division into a "personal diary" and a more public blog. Yes, not everyone is ready to share their secrets with the general public, especially if social networks are closely monitored by the authorities.

Some people have a second profile for a child or pet. Someone blogs on behalf of a dog, cat or even a hamster, and someone just uploads photos so as not to overwhelm the feed of the main blog with a stream of cuteness.

It happens that a person creates another account for his business. Agree, it is strange to mix in one place both photos from home photo shoots and pictures of products sold. Therefore, a person who is promoting his business on social networks simply needs to have at least two accounts.

How to add a second account on the computer?

It's easy to switch between your profiles on your computer. The developers of the application have made the interface quite clear for users, but, nevertheless, some functions are not immediately found. So, let's see how to add an Instagram account on a computer. There are two options here: you can use this social network in the web version, or you can use it through a special application for a PC.

How to add a second account via PC application:

  1. Go to your Instagram profile.
  2. Open the "Settings" menu.
  3. In the drop-down menu, select the "Add account" item.
  4. Enter the login and password of the second account.

How to add a second account via the web version:

  1. Open your page in the browser and click on your profile icon in the upper right corner.
  2. In the drop-down menu you will see the item "switching between accounts".
  3. Click on the "sign in to an existing account" button.
  4. Enter the login and password of the second account.

Switching between Instagram accounts on a computer

Now that you understand how to log into a second Instagram account on a computer, you can try to learn how to switch between your blogs. Believe me, there is nothing complicated here.

Via the web version:

  1. You need to reopen your page in the browser.
  2. Click on the profile icon in the upper right corner.
  3. In the "switching between accounts" section, click on the second blog added earlier.

Via PC application:

  1. Open the application on the computer.
  2. In the settings menu, select the "Login to an existing account" item.
  3. Click on the account you want to log into.

As you can see, there is really nothing difficult in switching. For convenience, you can check the box next to the “Remember login details” item, and then you will not have to remember your login and password every time. However, now both in the browser and in the application, the device often remembers the login data automatically or gives hints based on the login history.

Services that help you work with multiple accounts at the same time

Technology does not stand still, and therefore, in recent years, several popular free assistants have appeared that help increase coverage on social networks: add active subscribers, get likes and comments on photos, increase views story. Applications can be used for multiple blogs at the same time. Here are the most popular services for working with insta statistics:

How many Instagram profiles can be connected to the device at the same time?

Now the service allows you to connect up to five accounts at the same time. It can be both personal pages and business accounts. Unfortunately, for the time being, more than five profiles cannot be connected to one device. But, if you want to post to more accounts at the same time, you can connect some through the application on the phone, and the rest through the application for the PC.

Is it possible to enter the same diary both from the phone and from the computer?

Yes, you can log into Instagram from different devices. For example, you can flip through the feed on your smartphone on the way home from work, and watch the IGTV video from your computer. You can do both from the phone, and then go through the web version when the mobile device is charging.

How many likes can be left per day from one account?

No one knows the exact information, since the developers do not disclose all the features of the application. According to blocking statistics, it is not recommended for beginners to put more than 700 likes per day. And bloggers who post photos and stories for at least a year have a slightly higher limit: on average, up to 1,000 likes per day. However, it is better not to reach the upper limit of the limit: such activity may be considered suspicious by the program and lead to temporary blocking.

How to make multiple Instagram pages (accounts)

August 11 Social media instructions

Contents:

The Instagram social network allows you to manage several accounts at once using one application. Such a function in the social network is available to all users, regardless of the type of account - a personal blog or a business account.

MUSTHAVE services for your Instagram!

TapLike - Instagram promotion. Buying followers, likes, story views, comments. Quality Audience! 100% service safety guarantee!

Instahero - instant cleaning of Instagram account from bots! Do a profile analysis for free!

The function of connecting a second account will be useful for users who do business using a social network. The transition from one page to another takes place literally in one movement. You don't need to clone the app or use another mobile device. The second Instagram account can be used not only by businessmen, but also by ordinary users. You may need to create a fake for personal purposes. For example, to view user stories and go unnoticed.

The function of connecting a second Instagram account is available only in the mobile version of the application. On PC, switching between accounts is not yet possible.
