If you wish to have multiple Instagram accounts, such as one for personal use and another for professional use, or perhaps a fun and anonymous one separate from your main account, establishing an alternate Instagram account can be an ideal option. This guide will provide you with the necessary steps to easily create an alternate Instagram account.
Step 1: Open the Instagram App
The first step in creating an alternate Instagram account is to open the Instagram app on your phone. If you don’t have it installed, you can download it from the App Store (for iPhones) or the Google Play Store (for Androids).
Step 2: Access Your Profile
Once the app is open, navigate to your profile by tapping on the profile icon located in the bottom right corner.
Step 3: Open the Menu
On your profile page, tap on the three horizontal lines located at the top right corner to open the menu. From there, select Settings.
Step 4: Add an Account
Scroll down the settings page until you find the Add Account option. Tap it, then tap on Create New Account.
Step 5: Create Your New Account
Here, you can enter the details for your new account. You’ll need to enter a unique username and password. You will also be asked to verify your account with a phone number or email address, which must be different from the ones you’ve used on your other account(s).
<strong> Instagram will then ask you to enter a Full Name (this can be anything and doesn't have to be your real name) and a Password. Make sure you choose a strong password to keep your account secure. </strong>
Step 6: Finalize Your Account
Once you’ve entered all your information, tap on Next. You may be asked to add friends or profile picture, but these steps are optional and can be skipped. Now, you should have your new Instagram account set up and ready to go!
Switching Between Accounts
To switch between your Instagram accounts, go to your profile, touch and hold your profile picture at the bottom of the screen, then select the account you want to switch to.
That’s it! Now you know how to create an alternate Instagram account. Remember, Instagram allows you to have up to 5 accounts logged in at a time, so you can set up different accounts for different purposes. Enjoy exploring the Instagram world with your new alternate account!
