Imagine you want to have a public account accessible to everyone and a private one only for close friends or family.

To add your additional Instagram accounts to your device:
Go to your profile, press the menu button on the top right and tap settings.
Scroll down and tap Add Account. Enter the username and password of the account you’d like to add.
Or log in with Facebook if that’s how you set up the other account.

To switch between accounts you’ve added, go to your profile.
Tap your username at the very top of the screen.
Tap the account you’d like to switch to.
OR you can switch from any tab via your profile picture in the bottom left. Just press and hold the button and wait for the menu to appear.

Note that you can add up to 5 accounts on one device.
