While at the Retail Success Summit, an attendee came up to the Social Edge table and asked us a question. It wasn’t related to social media or marketing strategy, but it was about the functionality of the Instagram App itself. Now, to us, this was a pretty basic question. Then it dawned on us that we suffer from the Curse of Knowledge, so something so obvious to us may not be as obvious to someone else. That’s why we want to share with you this super simple time-saving trick for Instagram.
Watch full episode:
The question was, “Is there a way to switch between my personal Instagram and my Business profile without logging in and out each time?”
And, the answer to this question is yes!
In order to do this, you’ll want to add multiple accounts to your app. To add an account, you’ll:
- Go to your profile and tap the gear or settings icon in the top right corner
- Scroll down and tap Add Account (it’s near the bottom of the menu)
- Enter the username and password of the account you’d like to add
Then to switch between account you’ve added, follow these steps:
- Go to your profile
- Tap your profile at the bottom of the screen
- Tap the account you’d like to switch to
Or…
- Go to your profile
- Tap your username at the top
- Tap the account you’d like to switch to
- Note: This is another place you’ll be able to add other accounts you manage
Now you won’t ever waste time logging in and out of your accounts again!
On a separate note…have you started using IGTV for your business yet? This new Instagram feature allows you to upload pre-recorded videos up to 60 minutes in length to an IGTV channel.
