How to Change Instagram Back to Personal Account
In today’s digital age, Instagram has become a popular platform for both personal and professional use. However, some users may have accidentally turned their accounts into business accounts or may have simply changed their minds. Whatever the reason, changing an Instagram account back to a personal account is a straightforward process. In this article, we will guide you through the steps to change Instagram back to a personal account.
Step 1: Log in to Your Instagram Account
The first step in changing your Instagram account back to personal is to log in to your account. Open the Instagram app on your smartphone or visit the Instagram website on your computer. Enter your username and password to access your account.
Step 2: Go to Your Profile
Once you are logged in, tap on the profile icon at the bottom right corner of the app or click on your profile picture on the website. This will take you to your profile page.
Step 3: Access Account Settings
On your profile page, tap on the three horizontal lines or the gear icon, depending on your device. This will open the menu, where you can find the “Settings” option. Tap on “Settings” to proceed.
Step 4: Select “Account Type”
In the Settings menu, scroll down and tap on “Account Type.” This section allows you to switch between a personal account and a business account.
Step 5: Change to Personal Account
In the “Account Type” section, you will see an option to switch to a personal account. Tap on “Personal” and confirm your selection. Instagram will prompt you to confirm the change, so make sure you are sure before proceeding.
Step 6: Remove Business Information
If you had a business account, you may have added some business information, such as a contact number or website. To change back to a personal account, you will need to remove this information. In the “Account Type” section, tap on “Business Information” and then “Edit.” Remove any business information and save your changes.
Step 7: Save Changes
After completing the previous steps, make sure to save your changes. On the Instagram app, tap “Done” in the upper right corner. On the website, click “Save Changes” at the bottom of the page.
Congratulations! You have successfully changed your Instagram account back to a personal account. Now you can enjoy using Instagram as a personal user without any business-related features.
