Finally – Instagram Are Testing An In-App Account Switch Feature

Instagram is pure deadly. Everyone and their mam uses it. We've all been there, scrolling endlessly till the wee hours of the morning until we drop our phones on our faces. But there's always been something missing. For a long time users have wanted the ability to be able to switch quickly between multiple accounts within the app itself. There are third party apps that can be used but they are a bit of a trek, and the demand for this feature has been consistently growing.

Why haven't Instagram figured out a way yet to switch between two accounts without having to log in and out? GRR.

All I want for Christmas (or before that) is to be able to switch back and forth between accounts on Instagram.

Every time Instagram announces a new update my first thought is "Okay, but when can I seamless switch between accounts?!" — Catherine Powell (@CatherinePowell) October 22, 2015

According to TechCrunch, selected members of Instagram's beta testing group for Android have been given the option to add or create additional accounts that you don't have to sign out to access. How handy is that? To access the new option, beta testers can scroll down to the bottom to the bottom of the Settings page in Instagram, then look for the “Add Account” option just below “Clear Search History” and above “Log Out.' - TechCrunch My reaction to this news.
