Only 5 Instagram Accounts Allowed? Help!
As we (not so) patiently wait for them to include more accounts into the next update, we are stuck in a world that only allows you to log into five Instagram accounts on your phone at a time. When it comes to our SMM duties, we have to resort to logging in and out of accounts? Ugh. And, of course, it's always fun with two-factor authentication enters the chat and we are stuck in the back-and-forth with our client *cue internal face-palm.*
It's likely that you'll run into this issue, considering we have our personal account, our own business account, multiple client accounts, and not to mention, our dog's Instagram... So, what can we do when we have more accounts than allowed? Here are some backup options and tips:
1.) Use an old phone. Even though I'm sure you were happy to part ways from it, savor your old phones! If it's no longer in service, you can still connect to WiFi and log into a few more Instas!
2.) Use another device. iPad, desktop, or even an old iPod (Yes, I still have my neon pink-cased iPod Touch on stand-by from 2014).
3.) Set up the multi-login. This is more practical when it comes to your business and personal account. Of course we want to have all our clients logged in, but we can't forget about ourselves, too! Setting up multi-login can simplify the log in process in a big way.
4.) Remember the log in information every time you log out! When you log out of the account it will ask you if you'd like to remember the information, if you select yes, it's feels like they are logged in all the time. This is an easy way to add a few extra accounts.
5.) Use a platform. Platforms that allow for scheduling, engagement, and customer-relationship management are key when it comes to managing multiple accounts. Choose one that works best for you and your clients and add some accounts that are strictly used in those platforms.
