So many Instagram users have more than one account on this popular platform. They may have one for personal uses and the other for their business or anything else.
In this article, we want to know if it is possible for us to merge and link our Instagram accounts together.
As you know, Facebook lets its users link their 2 accounts and manage them better, but Instagram, on the other hand, won’t allow users to connect their Instagram accounts.
Yes, it is terrible news, but you can’t merge your Instagram accounts! But you can always do some things if a door is closed!
Since we always write about things you can’t do on Instagram and show you other ways, here we want to explain different ways you do instead of merging your accounts on Instagram. So stay with us till the end.
How can you link two Instagram accounts?
Instagram does not allow its users to merge and link their two accounts together. But you can follow the steps below and do this merging in another way.
To be honest, this is a longer process than the Facebook feature provides for merging two accounts! But if you indeed want to do something, you can use it.
Create a new Instagram account.
You can’t link two Instagram accounts, so one remaining option is to create a new one and customize it the way you want.
Now you can decide your account is private or professional. After creating a new account, you have to design it the way you want. You can follow your previous followers and tell them you have created a new profile, and also share your old content with a new theme.
It might seem a hard word, and you think I have so many things to do, but since you have had other accounts, you will know how to manage this better and grow faster.
For this one, the key to growing faster is finding and sending a request to your old and loyal followers.
Change your username to the old account.
If you want to have just one account on Instagram, you must first decide which one you want to keep. If you don’t want the name of your old account, you need first to change its username and then use it for your current account.
This is a good trick, and everyone that has known your previous account, with searching that will find your new account.
You are able to change your Instagram username as many times as you wish. Modifying your Instagram username will also alter your URL and how Google will find you. If you want to be the same as your last account, you can choose the profile photo you have pocked for your previous account.
How can you transfer your Instagram followers to the new account?
Well, I’m afraid you can’t! There is no way for this transformation. You only can inform your followers and follow them with your new account manually.
In other words, you can’t transfer anything after creating a new account, but you can use third-party apps to repost your old content.
If you want to find more followers, don’t forget to sync your phone number and find people by their phone number.
Can you upload and transfer your posts and comment on the new account?
I think you already know the response, which is a big NO! Before deleting the old Instagram profile, ensure you have downloaded all the content you had shared before. And as you know, comments, likes, and other interactions won’t transfer to your new Instagram profile.
How can you delete your old account after linking two Instagram accounts?
After you are done with all transferring, uploading, and downloading, it is time to say goodbye to your old account.
To delete your Instagram profile, follow the steps below:
- From your mobile browser or computer, go to “Delete your account Page.” You can’t delete the Instagram account from within the app.
- Select an option from the menu that “Why are you deleting your account?” then re-enter your pass.
- “Permanently delete your account” will appear after selecting a reason from the suggestion.
- Click on “Delete” your Instagram account.
To wrap it all up
Each user can have up to five accounts on Instagram. Managing two accounts can be challenging for some, so they seek ways to link these accounts. But unfortunately, Instagram doesn’t offer such an option for its users.
Here we have talked about the ways you can link and merge your Instagram accounts, and we hope it was helpful for you.
