Instagram now officially supports multiple accounts. The feature makes it possible to quickly switch between several different Instagram accounts, without having to log out. For many Instagram users who manage multiple accounts, this new capability will streamline the process and make jumping between different usernames much easier than before. Once more accounts are added, notifications for any account that has them turned on will appear on the iOS device.
Once the feature rolls out to everyone, Instagram will allow up to 5 accounts to be added. Before checking to see if the feature is available on your account, update to Instagram version 7.15. Earlier versions of the iOS app will not be getting multiple account support.

1. Navigate to your profile and tap the gear icon on the top right
2. Scroll down and select Add Account
3. Enter the username and password of the account to add
