Switching Between Instagram Accounts

The wait is over! It’s now officially as easy to switch between Instagram accounts on your mobile device as it is to switch between Twitter accounts.

For those of you who run only a single account, this won’t change your interaction with the platform. But if you have a personal account, and you also run one for your business, non-profit, band, microbrewery or anything else, this is the time to get excited.

Until now, you had to log out of one account and login to another to switch back and forth. Tracking down passwords and taking the extra time to move around pretty much guaranteed that whatever account was your primary, stayed your primary.

Instagram heard our frustration and they have—finally!—acquiesced. Switching between accounts is now easy.

Open up the app. In the top right corner, you will see a gear. Click it.

Scroll down to the bottom of the list and click on “Add Account.”

Login with your second account.

Now, you can simple toggle between the accounts. Go to your homepage (bottom right icon showing your avatar). At the top of that page, you will see your username, followed by a ٧.

Click it and you will see a list of all accounts you are logged into. You can now toggle back and forth to your heart’s desire. That's it--now enjoy!

Quick note: You can repeat this process with numerous accounts.
