You probably have multiple Instagram accounts if you’re a social media professional or an entrepreneur. And managing multiple Instagram accounts may sometimes be intimidating.

Multiple social media accounts can be good or bad, depending on how you use them! On the one hand, multiple social media accounts increase the risk of depression.

On the other hand, you can create a separate audience for your professional and personal worlds. For example, as an advantage of having multiple Instagram accounts, your clients on your professional account wouldn’t see your family pictures on your personal one.

But, you should know the way! There’s a potential risk you’ll publish a post to the wrong account, and keeping up with post creation and publication may be challenging.

So, it’s understandable if you’ve thought, “can I manage multiple Instagram accounts at the same time, in one spot?”

You may rest guaranteed that you can. And it’s a lot less complicated than you may expect. We have prepared you with the ultimate guide to handling multiple Instagram accounts without messing up.

Can you have multiple Instagram accounts?

You may now add up to five Instagram profiles to your account and navigate between them easily without logging out and back in.

All you need to do is go to your profile page on Instagram and click the three lines icon (hamburger icon) on the right corner to open your Settings. At the end of the menu, you will see an option as “Add Account.”

After adding all your Instagram accounts, you can switch between accounts by clicking your username at the top of your profile page.

Switching between multiple Instagram accounts definitely makes it much easier to check them all. But this feature doesn’t make handling multiple Instagram accounts less complex and avoids possible mistakes.

Is there an app that lets you manage multiple Instagram accounts?

Using a social media management tool like Circleboom Publish is the simplest method to manage multiple Instagram accounts, and it comes with many advantages.

#1 Add multiple Instagram accounts through a single dashboard

Circleboom Publish offers users a smart and intuitive dashboard to manage their multiple Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Google Business Profile, and TikTok accounts.

You can publish your posts directly to your accounts, schedule them for a future date, create a post queue with specific time preferences. And that’s not all. You can also create your design on the same dashboard, find relevant content, and link your favorite RSS feeds to your accounts.

If you generally post the same content to multiple Instagram accounts, you don’t need to prepare the post separately for every account. Circleboom Publish enables you to post to multiple Instagram accounts at once.

So, basically, you can manage multiple Instagram accounts from your phone or desktop on a single dashboard.

#2 Schedule your posts for multiple Instagram accounts

With Circleboom Publish, you can schedule Instagram posts for each account beforehand and optimize your posts according to the best times to post on Instagram.

By doing so, you won’t need to log in to your Instagram account every time you need to post something. Once your social media calendar is ready, you can schedule Instagram posts for the right time at one sit.

Let’s say that you manage multiple Instagram accounts for five clients. You can spare dedicated time for each of them and schedule every post for the following week in one sit. This strategy can help you to avoid posting on the wrong account.

You can also do a follow-up check for the posts after scheduling them all. This can help you have a more holistic way of looking at your social media strategy for the week.

#3 Prepare a post queue with social media calendar

If you want to post your content at certain time intervals, you can create a post queue for your multiple Instagram accounts with Circleboom Publish. All you need to do is define your time intervals.

You can also use the advanced plan tool on Circleboom Publish to turn certain days off if you don’t wish to post on specific days.

#4 Design your content for multiple Instagram accounts

Content is one of the critical factors for success on social media, especially for Instagram, where the visuals have great importance. If you manage multiple Instagram accounts, designing appealing content for every account can become challenging.

The good side is you don’t need to be a professional graphic designer to create high-quality content. Many designing tools on the internet can help you enhance your visuals.

When you handle multiple Instagram accounts, it is easy to get lost between apps. If you already use some design tools like Canva, switching between many tabs on your browser can be confusing. You need to design your content, then switch to your social media account to post.

That’s why Circleboom Publish offers built-in versions of ultimate designing tools like Canva. You can create your post on Canva without leaving the Circleboom Publish’s dashboard and directly post or schedule your content right away.
