How to Manage Multiple Instagram Accounts

Tap a step to see how it works.

  1. Open the profile tab

    Go to the profile tab in the bottom-right corner of the app.

  2. Tap your username

    Tapping your username at the top of the screen shows your list of registered accounts along with an 'Add account' option.

  3. Log into an existing account, or create a new one

    You can sign into another account you already own, or create a brand-new one right from that same screen.

  4. Switch between accounts quickly

    Tapping your username again brings up the account list, and tapping the one you want switches to it instantly.

  5. Why use multiple accounts

    Multiple accounts come in handy when you want to keep a personal account separate from one for a hobby or a side project.

Keep a personal account and a hobby account separate

If you want to run an everyday account and a separate one dedicated to a hobby, a pet, or a small side project, having multiple accounts lets you switch between them instantly without ever signing out.

Notifications from every registered account can come through

Depending on your device settings, you can usually choose to receive notifications from all of your registered accounts at once, rather than only the one that's currently active -- worth checking your notification settings if you don't want to miss activity on an account you're not currently viewing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many accounts can I add?

The app supports registering several accounts at once, though the exact maximum can change depending on the platform's current policy.

Do I get notifications for all my accounts, even after switching?

It depends on your device settings, but many setups let you receive notifications from every registered account, not just the one currently active.
