How do I switch my account to personal on Instagram?
If you’re an Instagram user who has previously converted your account to a business or creator account, but now wish to switch it back to a personal account, you might be wondering how to do so. Switching your account back to personal mode is a straightforward process, and in this article, we’ll guide you through the steps to make the transition smoothly.
Step 1: Open Instagram
First, ensure that you have the latest version of the Instagram app installed on your device. Open the app and log in to your account if you haven’t already.
Step 2: Go to Your Profile
Once you’re logged in, tap on the profile icon at the bottom right corner of the screen to navigate to your profile page.
Step 3: Tap on the three lines in the top right corner
On your profile page, you’ll see a menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top right corner. Tap on it to open the menu.
Step 4: Select “Settings”
In the menu, scroll down and tap on “Settings.” This will take you to the settings page where you can manage various aspects of your account.
Step 5: Tap on “Account Type”
Within the settings, scroll down and tap on “Account Type.” This option allows you to switch between personal, business, and creator accounts.
Step 6: Select “Personal Account”
In the “Account Type” section, you’ll see three options: Personal, Business, and Creator. Tap on “Personal Account” to select it.
Step 7: Confirm the Switch
A pop-up message will appear asking you to confirm the switch to a personal account. This message will inform you that you’ll lose access to certain features and that you won’t be able to switch back to a business or creator account. If you’re sure about your decision, tap on “OK” to confirm the switch.
Step 8: Re-enter Your Contact Information
After confirming the switch, you’ll be prompted to re-enter your contact information. This is necessary to ensure that your account remains secure. Fill in the required details and tap on “Next.”
Step 9: Review and Save
Review the information you’ve entered and make any necessary changes. Once you’re satisfied, tap on “Save” to finalize the switch to a personal account.
Congratulations! You have successfully switched your Instagram account back to personal mode. From now on, you’ll enjoy the features and restrictions associated with a personal account. Remember that you can always switch back to a business or creator account if you need to access additional features in the future.
