We knew it was coming. Instagram first started testing the feature on Android back in November, and then just last weekend, it was available to some iOS users. The news finally came late last night:

Starting this week, you can quickly and easily switch between multiple accounts on Instagram! 🎉 Go to your profile settings to add an additional account. From there, tap your username at the top of your profile to switch between accounts. Once you have multiple accounts added, you’ll see your profile photo appear in places throughout the app so you can always tell which one you’re using at the moment.

For community managers, this is a dream come true. For so many years, we have had to log out to be able to switch between accounts. It was a nightmare. Handling multiple accounts and being able to switch from one to another with just one tap will certainly revolutionise the way we use Instagram, and it will surely contribute to its growth as well.

For community managers, this is a dream come true: switching between accounts on @Instagram.

Account switching is already available for all iOS and Android users, but you will first have to upgrade to the latest version (7.15). Thank you Instagram! You have answered all of my (our) prayers.
