Maybe you have a finsta account, a backup account, or are slowly building a new profile. Whatever the case, you may need to post to multiple Instagram accounts simultaneously.

The good news is that Instagram allows that, but first, you must link your additional account(s). The rest is easy.

Instagram allows you to add up to five accounts. This comes in handy for users who prefer to use a finsta account instead of hiding posts from certain people on Instagram.

You can only link accounts that are already in the Accounts Center. If you haven't already, start by creating another Instagram account. Once that's done, follow the steps below to link it.

  1. Open Instagram and tap your profile icon in the bottom-right corner of the screen.
  2. Tap the three-bar menu in the top-right corner and select Settings and privacy.
  3. Now tap Accounts Center and select Profiles > Add accounts.
  4. Instagram may ask you for permission to sign in. Tap Continue and enter your login details for the account you want to link.
  5. Choose whether you want to save your login information in the browser.
  6. Tap Confirm Account to allow Instagram to access your information.

How to Post to Multiple Instagram Accounts Simultaneously

Posting to multiple Instagram accounts simultaneously is as simple as posting to one account with an additional step. Here's how to do it:

  1. On your Instagram Profile, tap the Upload (+) button at the bottom of the screen.
  2. Select the type of media you want to upload and start editing your post.
  3. When you get to the last step, add a caption and any other information as needed.
  4. Scroll down to the Post to other Instagram accounts section, find the account you want to cross-post to, and tap the toggle next to it. The toggle should turn blue.

This will publish the Instagram post on the selected profiles.
