Yes, you can have two or more Instagram accounts. Instagram allows users to have multiple accounts linked to the same email address or phone number.

Here’s how to set up a second Instagram account:

  1. Open the Instagram app and go to your profile.
  2. Tap on the three horizontal lines on the top right corner of the screen.
  3. Scroll down and tap on “Settings”.
  4. Scroll down and tap on “Add Account”.
  5. Enter the username and password of your new account or create a new account.
  6. Once you’ve created your new account, you can switch between your accounts by tapping on your profile picture at the bottom right corner of the screen and then tapping on the account you want to switch to.

Note that you’ll need to log out of one account before you can log into another. Also, if you plan on using multiple accounts for business purposes, make sure you’re following Instagram’s guidelines and terms of service.

How to Add Instagram Account Switching to Existing Accounts

If you have an existing Instagram account and want to add account switching to it, here are the steps:

  1. Open the Instagram app and go to your profile.
  2. Tap on the three horizontal lines on the top right corner of the screen.
  3. Scroll down and tap on “Settings”.
  4. Scroll down to the “Logins” section and tap on “Add Account”.
  5. Enter the username and password of your second account or create a new account.
  6. Once you’ve added your second account, you can switch between accounts by tapping on your profile picture at the bottom right corner of the screen and then tapping on the account you want to switch to.

Note that you can add up to 5 Instagram accounts to switch between them quickly without logging in and out every time. You can also remove an account from the account switcher by going to “Settings”, “Logins”, and tapping on the account you want to remove, then select “Remove”.

Where do I add an Instagram account? I don’t have this option.

If you don’t see the option to add an Instagram account, it may be because you are using an older version of the app or you have already added the maximum number of accounts allowed. Here are some things you can try:

  1. Update the Instagram app: Go to the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android) and check if there’s an update available for Instagram. If there is, update the app to the latest version.
  2. Check if you’ve reached the maximum number of accounts: Instagram allows users to add up to 5 accounts. If you’ve already added 5 accounts, you won’t see the option to add another account.
  3. Log out and log in again: Try logging out of your current account and logging back in to see if the option to add an account appears.
  4. Try adding an account from the login screen: You can also try adding an account from the login screen. To do this, tap on “Add Account” at the bottom of the login screen and follow the prompts to add your new account.

If none of these steps work, you can try uninstalling and reinstalling the app, or contacting Instagram support for further assistance.

Can I Use One Login on Multiple Instagram Accounts?

No, you can’t use one login on multiple Instagram accounts at the same time. Each Instagram account requires a separate login and password. However, you can use the same email address or phone number for multiple accounts.

To switch between accounts, you need to log out of one account and log in to another. Instagram allows users to add up to 5 accounts and switch between them quickly without logging in and out every time. To add an account, go to “Settings”, then “Logins” and tap on “Add Account”. Once you’ve added your account, you can switch between accounts by tapping on your profile picture and then tapping on the account you want to switch to.

Note that Instagram’s terms of service prohibit users from sharing login credentials with others or using automated tools to log in to multiple accounts. Violating these terms may result in account suspension or termination.

You may also want to use a VPN such as VeePN to avoid this. This will also ensure your account is as safe as possible.

Can I disconnect a personal and business account on the same email address?

Yes, you can disconnect a personal and business account that are linked to the same email address on Instagram. Here are the steps to do this:

  1. Log in to the account that you want to disconnect from your email address.
  2. Go to your profile and tap on the three horizontal lines in the top-right corner.
  3. Tap on “Settings”.
  4. Tap on “Account”.
  5. Scroll down and tap on “Switch to Personal Account” (or “Switch to Business Account” depending on which account you are currently using).
  6. Follow the prompts to switch to the other type of account.
  7. Once you’ve switched to the other account type, you can use a different email address for the account or link it to a Facebook page instead.

Note that if you have multiple accounts linked to the same email address, you’ll need to repeat these steps for each account you want to disconnect. Also, disconnecting an account from your email address doesn’t delete the account, it just removes the link between the account and your email address. You’ll still be able to access the account using the login credentials you set up for it.

What about push notifications on multiple Instagram accounts?

If you have multiple Instagram accounts and want to receive push notifications for all of them, you can enable notifications for each account separately. Here’s how:

  1. Log in to the Instagram account for which you want to enable push notifications.
  2. Go to your profile and tap on the three horizontal lines in the top-right corner.
  3. Tap on “Settings”.
  4. Tap on “Notifications”.
  5. Under “Push Notifications”, tap on “Posts, Stories, and IGTV”.
  6. Toggle on the option for “From Everyone” or “From People I Follow” to receive push notifications for new posts, stories, and IGTV videos from all accounts or only from people you follow.
  7. Repeat steps 1-6 for each Instagram account that you want to enable push notifications for.

Note that if you have multiple Instagram accounts, you can also enable notifications for all of them at once by going to “Settings” and tapping on “Notifications”, then toggling on the option for “Push Notifications for Multiple Accounts”. This will enable push notifications for all accounts that you’ve added to Instagram.

How Do I Remove an Instagram Account I’ve Added?

To remove an Instagram account that you’ve added from your app, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Instagram app and go to your profile page.
  2. Tap on the three horizontal lines in the top-right corner of the screen.
  3. Tap on “Settings” at the bottom of the menu.
  4. Scroll down and tap on “Logins”.
  5. You’ll see a list of accounts that you’ve added to Instagram. Find the account you want to remove and tap on it.
  6. Tap on “Remove From Accounts” at the bottom of the screen.
  7. Confirm that you want to remove the account by tapping on “Remove”.

Once you’ve removed an account, you’ll need to log in again if you want to access it. If you’ve removed an account that was linked to a Facebook page, the link between the page and the account will be removed as well. If you want to link the page to another account, you’ll need to do so manually.

Note that removing an account from Instagram does not delete the account or its content. It simply removes the account from your list of added accounts in the app.

How to Permanently Delete an Instagram Account

If you want to permanently delete an Instagram account, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Delete Your Account page on the Instagram website. You will need to log in to your account first.
  2. Select a reason for deleting your account from the drop-down menu. You will also be prompted to enter your password again.
  3. Click on the “Permanently delete my account” button.
  4. Your account will be permanently deleted, along with all your photos, videos, comments, likes, and followers. This process is irreversible, and you will not be able to reactivate the account or retrieve any of the information you’ve shared on it.

Note that if you are unable to access the Instagram website, you can also delete your account from the Instagram app on your mobile device by following these steps:

  1. Go to your profile and tap on the three horizontal lines in the top-right corner.
  2. Tap on “Settings”.
  3. Scroll down and tap on “Help”.
  4. Tap on “Help Center”.
  5. Type “Delete Account” in the search bar and select the “How do I delete my account?” article.
  6. Follow the instructions provided in the article to permanently delete your account.

It’s important to note that if you only want to take a break from Instagram, you can temporarily disable your account instead of deleting it. This will allow you to reactivate your account later and keep your photos, videos, comments, and likes intact.

Posting from Scheduling Tools

Scheduling tools can be a helpful way to manage and plan your Instagram content ahead of time. Here’s how you can post to Instagram from scheduling tools:

  1. Choose a scheduling tool that’s compatible with Instagram, such as Later, Hootsuite, or Buffer. You can also read more at Zintego.com
  2. Connect your Instagram account to the scheduling tool. You may need to enter your Instagram username and password to do this.
  3. Create your Instagram post within the scheduling tool. This typically involves uploading an image or video, adding a caption and any hashtags or location tags, and selecting a time and date for the post to be published.
  4. Preview your post to make sure it looks the way you want it to.
  5. Schedule your post for the desired time and date. Depending on the scheduling tool you’re using, you may be able to schedule multiple posts at once.
  6. When it’s time for your post to be published, the scheduling tool will automatically send a notification to your phone. You’ll need to open the notification and follow the prompts to publish the post to Instagram.

It’s important to note that Instagram’s API does not allow third-party apps to post directly to Instagram. This means that even if you use a scheduling tool to plan and create your Instagram content, you’ll still need to manually publish the post from the Instagram app on your mobile device. However, scheduling tools can still be a valuable tool for organizing and planning your content ahead of time, which can save you time and effort in the long run.
