Starting this week, you will be able to quickly and easily switch between multiple accounts when using the photo-sharing social app Instagram.
After testing the feature on both Android and iOS, the Facebook-owned app announced today that it is officially launching multi-account support, so the users can maintain more than one account on the same device.
The feature will be available in version 7.15 of the app, and it allows people to have as many as five accounts logged in at once. This will make you able to switch from your business – and private account without the need to log out.
In recent days Instagram confirmed that it had been testing out this feature, which was rolled out to Facebook itself years ago. With the rise of profiles dedicated to businesses, and any number of other things, it was inevitable that Instagram would make it all a bit easier to manage.
Instagram has been inching more into the world of advertising, and so it does make sense for people representing companies to be able to switch from personal to corporate accounts and vice versa as they need to.
Instagram has today over 300 million monthly active users.
How to use it:
– Go to your profile settings to add an additional account. From there, tap your username at the top of your profile to switch between accounts, Instagram wrote in their blog post.
– Once you have multiple accounts added, you’ll see your profile photo appear in places throughout the app so you can always tell which one you’re using at the moment.
