Facebook Instagram Comes With A New Intriguing Feature

Now you can manage multiple accounts on Instagram.

Facebook Inc. owned Instagram, a photo sharing platform recently made an announcement through a blog post where they acknowledged the users regarding a new feature that is now live for its Android and iOS app users.

The mechanism is very simple where users are required to open the Instagram application from the device, and then browse to the profile setting where they will be required to press the option of adding an additional account. After that, you will be asked to type in your username and password so that the social media platform verifies your identity and the account is added to your mix.

As per the update, every Instagram user can run almost five accounts that can be logged in a go. So if you wish to switch amongst the multiple accounts, then just tap on the username surfacing on the top of the screen when you browse through your profile. A list will appear of your managed accounts and then you can choose the one you want.

All the Instagram accounts have been enabled with push notifications. Thus all those users who now have added more than one Instagram account to the application will thus get notified through all the accounts which have notifications set on enabled. It is quite similar to the situation where users deal with a singular Instagram account, thus the push notifications are dependent on the last login time of the users. All the notifications that have gathered after the last logon will be received once a user logs in.

However, if you wish to remove accounts, all you need to do is simply log out and the account will be removed from the list. The company has made it relatively easier for users to gauge which profile is actually active and which is not by making sure that the display picture of the signed in account is always prominently visible via the app.

Facebook which is the parent company of Instagram has been offering this feature to its user base since a fairly long time. The reason why the company has come up with a feature of this nature for Instagram is simple, by making it live, the social media giant wishes to attract advertisers and marketers who are running multiple accounts in one go. The company has enabled the marketers to switch amongst the accounts however, the company will not be responsible if the advertiser makes any blunder while switching. So, all the advertisers need to be extremely careful while switching from one account to another.

The company is on the right track when it comes to coming up with services and features that are likely to appeal the masses. The feature to switch accounts will be received positively amongst the users and will allow Page managers to explore the platform with ease. the photo sharing platform has gained significant momentum and this feature will further make it engaging and user friendly for all those running several accounts.
