    How to Switch Back to a Personal Account

    deekshaBy deekshaDecember 23, 2022 Instagram 2 Mins Read

    A personal account has all of Instagram’s basic features such as uploading posts, stories, reels, and IGTV videos. When you switch back to a personal account from a Business or Creator account, Instagram erases all your insights. 

    There are a few things that may change in your account when you switch to a personal account. The major aspect is the loss of analytics regarding your reach and performance. You will also lose all the contacts and data on your Business/Creator profile. This means other people will no longer be able to access your email address, phone number, or website. 

    On Mobile

    If you are using Instagram’s mobile app to switch back to a personal account, you can follow these steps both on your Android & iPhone.

    1. Go to the Instagram app.
    2. Log in to your account.
    3. Tap your profile picture on the bottom right corner.
