How to create a second instagram account on ios 12

Managing multiple Instagram accounts allows us to add a second account as well as toggle between the ones we have configured quickly and easily. In addition, if you do not yet have a second account on this social network, you can create and add it from the application itself on your iPhone.

Create a second Instagram account

Currently, creating a second Instagram account is pretty easy. This function is ideal for those who need to manage a corporate or professional profile, in addition to their own personal account, and even for your pet to have their own account. Both accounts will be equally accessible from the Instagram application, but will be kept well separated from each other.

In addition, you should know that Instagram allows you to manage up to five accounts, although you will need to have different email addresses for each of them.

If you don't have a second account yet, follow these steps to create a second Instagram account that will automatically be linked to your main account:

• Open the Instagram application and go to your profile (the icon located at the bottom right of the screen) Click on the menu symbol identified with three horizontal stripes and located in the upper right corner. This is how you will open the Instagram settings, click on the Settings option, located at the bottom of the pop-up menu and identified with the classic gear wheel.

  

  Scroll to the bottom of this screen and tap Add account

  

  At the bottom, click the Register option.

  

  You will see the option to use Facebook to register, or you can select Register with your phone number or email. However, if you are already using Facebook as your primary account, you will have no choice but to use your phone or email.

  

  On the next screen, enter your phone or email. Remember that the same email cannot be used in more than one Instagram account.

  

  If you use an email, you will have to confirm your Instagram account later by opening the email and confirming the address provided.If you use a phone number, you will receive a verification number on your iPhone that you must enter in the indicated place. Once you have done that, click Next.

To help you, if it is not unique you will see a gray X, if it is unique you will see a green stick. Also, Instagram will automatically suggest a username based on the name you provided in the last step. If you don't like the proposal, you can tap the circular arrow next to the checkmark or X to have Instagram generate another random username. Once you've chosen an Instagram username, tap Next.

If your other Instagram account is already connected to Facebook (or if you don't want to connect your new Instagram account to Facebook), press Skip. Instagram will want to search your contacts to see if any of them has an Instagram account and you want to follow it. Press Skip if you don't want this. Next is the Discover People page. Follow any user you want (or none) and press Done .
