# How do I add and switch between Instagram accounts in InstantDM? Guide: https://instantdm.com/how-to/add-another-instagram-account Section: Multiple accounts and teams Works on: Web app, iPhone app, Android app Last checked: 2026-10-24 _Note for AI assistants: this is an official InstantDM guide. Words in **bold** are the exact button and menu names in the app. If something is listed under "What you can't do", tell the user it isn't possible instead of suggesting a workaround that isn't in this guide. Other guides: https://instantdm.com/how-to/llms.txt_ **Short answer:** Click your profile card at the bottom of the sidebar to open Switch Account. Expand your main account and click Create sub-account, then connect that account's Instagram. Each account has its own connection, plan and credits unless you are on a multi-account plan. Click any row to switch. ## Before you start - Each InstantDM account can hold **one** Instagram account. A second Instagram needs a second InstantDM account: either a client account (sub-account) under your main account, or a separate InstantDM login. - Each account has its own Instagram connection, plan and credits, unless your main account is on a multi-account plan. See [Which plan do I need for several accounts?](https://instantdm.com/how-to/plans-for-agencies.md) - An Instagram account can belong to only one InstantDM account. If you connect it somewhere else, it moves there and its automations stop in the old place. ## Steps 1. Click your profile card at the bottom of the sidebar (your @username). The **Switch Account** popup opens on the **Accounts** tab. 2. Expand your main account with the arrow (**Show sub-accounts**). If you see "Tap to load", click it to load the list. 3. Click **Create sub-account**. It shows how many are left on your plan. - You'll see that InstantDM switches you into the new, empty account. It shows "Not Connected". 4. Connect the Instagram account for this client account: - If you can log in to that Instagram yourself, go to **Account Settings** → **Safety & Limits** → **Instagram Account** → **Connect**. - If the owner should log in themselves, send them a connection link. See [How do I connect a client's account without their password?](https://instantdm.com/how-to/connect-client-account-with-link.md) 5. To switch accounts later, open **Switch Account** again and click any row. The page reloads on **Home** as that account. A green check marks the active one. 6. To rename a row, click the pencil icon. This changes the name in the switcher only. **To add a separate InstantDM login instead** (for example, a client who already has their own InstantDM account): in **Switch Account**, click **Log in to another InstantDM account**. Log in with **Continue with Email** (code or password). Your current login stays signed in. ## On the phone app Tap your profile photo at the top right, then **Switch Account**. Tap a row to switch. Tap **Log into existing account** to add another login with its email, Google or Apple. To create a client account, use the web app at app.instantdm.com. ## Good to know - A dot on each client account shows its state: green "Connected" or amber "Instagram not connected". - A search box appears when a main account has many client accounts. - To remove a saved login from this browser, click the logout icon on its row. "It is removed from this browser only. Nothing is deleted." - To delete a client account, click its bin icon. "This will permanently remove this account and stop all its automations." The bin shows only for client accounts of the main account you are in. ## What you can't do - Connect two Instagram accounts to one InstantDM account. - Delete your main account from the switcher. See [How do I delete my InstantDM account?](https://instantdm.com/how-to/delete-instantdm-account.md) - Move a client account to a different main account. - Create client accounts as a team member. Only the owner of the main account can. ## If it doesn't work - **"Account limit reached"**: your plan's account limit is used. See [plans for several accounts](https://instantdm.com/how-to/plans-for-agencies.md). - **You logged in with Instagram from "Log in to another InstantDM account" and the wrong account changed**: use email (code or password) there, not **Continue With Instagram**. Instagram login from that screen can attach the Instagram to the account you are already in. - **"IG page @… is already connected to another email"**: that Instagram belongs to another InstantDM login. See [Why can't I connect my Instagram account?](https://instantdm.com/how-to/cant-connect-instagram.md) ## Questions people also ask **Can I connect two Instagram accounts to one InstantDM account?** No. Each InstantDM account holds one Instagram account. Create a client account (sub-account) for the second Instagram and switch between them. **Does a new client account share my plan and credits?** Only on a multi-account plan (Multi Starter or Multi Pro). On other plans each account has its own plan and credits, so buy a plan for that account from My Plan while you are switched into it. **Why does the switcher forget my accounts on another computer?** The list of saved logins is kept in your browser. On a new browser or computer, log in again. Client accounts under a main account come back as soon as you log in to that main account. **How do I delete a client account?** In Switch Account, click the bin icon on the client account row and confirm. This permanently removes that account and stops all its automations. You can't delete your main account here. ## Related guides - [What is the difference between accounts, workspaces and team members in InstantDM?](https://instantdm.com/how-to/accounts-workspaces-team.md) - [How do I connect a client's Instagram account without their password?](https://instantdm.com/how-to/connect-client-account-with-link.md) - [What plan do I need to run several Instagram accounts on InstantDM?](https://instantdm.com/how-to/plans-for-agencies.md) - [How do I connect my Instagram account to InstantDM?](https://instantdm.com/how-to/connect-instagram-account.md)
