Instagram Now Testing Support For Account Switching, No Log Out Required
- 8 years ago
A feature Instagram users have wanted for some time - support for switching between multiple accounts directly in the app - is now being tested, according to a new report out this morning.
Select members in Instagram's official beta testing group for Android have spotted the option in Instagram's settings in their beta build of the mobile application.
The feature allows users to add or create additional accounts for use in Instagram that you can then switch between without first having to sign out of your current account.
While obviously useful for those in the business world, account switching is a common activity among Instagram's younger user base, as well.
In fact, there's even teenage slang related to this - "finstagram," or "finsta" for short, stands for "fake Instagram account."
