How do I add or remove Instagram login information on my device?

You can only be logged into a single Instagram account at a time, but your device can store login information for multiple Instagram accounts. You can add or remove login information from your Instagram app settings.

To add or remove Instagram login information on your device:

1. Go to your profile and tap .
2. Tap Settings.
3. Scroll down to Logins.
4. Tap Add account to add login information for a new Instagram account or Log out [username] to remove login information for the Instagram account you’re currently logged into.

Note: Removing login information only removes the account from your device and will not disable or permanently delete the Instagram account.

If I’ve added multiple Instagram accounts, what push notifications will I get?

If you’ve added multiple Instagram accounts, you may get push notifications from any account that has them turned on. This depends on when you last logged in and the number of devices that are logged in to an account.

To quickly see the number of notifications for each account you’ve added, go to your profile and tap your username at the top.

What happens if I share my Instagram post to another social network?

If someone with a private profile shares a photo or video to a social network (like Twitter, Facebook and so on) using Instagram, the image will be visible on that network and the permalink will be active. In other words, the photo will be publicly accessible by anyone who has access to its direct link/URL.

Keep in mind that sharing a photo or video to a social network doesn’t mean that the image will be visible in Instagram. Your account will still appear private to those who aren’t approved followers.
