Switch to a ‘creator’ account on Instagram

Why Switch to a Creator Account?

Switching to a Creator account on Instagram is a game-changer. You’ll get advanced insights, better profile management, and some cool content tools to play with.


Ready to Make the Switch on Instagram? Here’s How:

Step 1

Check your profile and privacy settings

Take a moment to review your profile settings. Make sure your profile is public because Creator accounts can’t be private.

Step 2

Dive into your account settings

Open your Instagram app, go to your profile, and tap those three little lines in the top-right corner. Then, tap Settings.

Step 3

Find the ‘Account’ section

Scroll down in the Settings menu and tap on Account type and tools.

Step 4

Choose ‘Switch to Professional Account’

In the Account type and tools section, scroll down and tap on Switch to Professional Account.

Step 5

Pick your category and check your contact info

Instagram will ask you to pick a category that best describes what you do (like Artist, Blogger, or Chef). Once you’ve chosen, you’ll need to decide between a Business and a Creator account. Go for Creator.
