How to manage multiple accounts on Instagram

Having started off as a simple filter-based photo sharing app, Instagram has grown to a massive platform which many small businesses use to promote their products. And obviously, the general user base is ever growing as well.

For those who use Instagram for their professional growth, it's almost essential to maintain separate Instagram accounts. And this means that multiple accounts need to be managed as well.

Earlier this year, the company rolled out a feature to its app. Instagram now allows up to 5 accounts to be added from the same app, on both iOS and Android.



If you're interested in managing multiple Instagram accounts from a single device, here's a quick guide on how to do it:

* Head to your Instagram profile and tap on Settings (The three dots on the top right corner of the app)

* Scroll down to find the 'Add account' option

* Enter the username and password of the account you'd like to add


Now whenever you log on to Instagram, the icon for your profile on the bottom right corner is replaced by your Instagram profile's picture. This indicates which of the added Instagram accounts is currently logged in to the app.

If you want to change the account, all you need to do is go to the profile and tap on top. This will open the list of the accounts you've added in the app. Now you can easily switch to another account with a simple tap.

To see the notifications for each individual account, go to the profile page and select the username from the list.

In case, you change your mind and want to remove the additional accounts you've added, first select the profile you want to remove. Now go to Settings and tap on the Log out option. Once this is done, you'll see a 'remove' option on the screen. This can be used to remove the extra accounts.
