Having multiple accounts logged in will benefit those who have a couple of IG accounts used as personal or for business. To add an additional account, go to settings, scroll down, and choose Add Account. To switch, just tap your username at the top of the screen when in your profile and choose which account to use. Keep in mind that you can only add up to 5 accounts.
