How to add multiple Instagram accounts in the Instagram app

This week, Instagram did what many users had been hoping they’d do for a while. They allowed users to login to up to 5 different Instagram accounts within the app. Before this, users would have to logout of one account and login to another one each time they wanted to switch. This process was cumbersome and annoying, to say the least.

If you have multiple Instagram accounts, here’s how you can add them all (up to 5) into your app.

Step 1 – Login to one of your Instagram accounts.


Step 2 – From your feed, click on the Profile button in the bottom right corner.
