Q&A for How to Create an Instagram Account

If you choose not to make your account private, anybody can see your Instagram profile. However, if you choose the "Private Account" option in the "Edit Profile" section of the Options menu, only users who you approve manually will have access to your Instagram account.

Choose a name that is quirky and true to your personality, ideally a nickname. Avoid basing your username on any personal information that can be traced back to you, such as your address or your real name.

Unfortunately, you need at least an email in order to create an Instagram account, as this is how they will verify your account when you first create it. You will also need this email in case you lose your password or encounter a security breach. If you don't have an email, you will need to create one using an email provider, such as Gmail or Yahoo.

To see a person's username on a timeline, their name is above the picture posted. On their page, it's at the very top.

It's possible you entered something wrong, your Wi-Fi isn't working, or you created too many accounts on your device.

You need to use your actual email address so that Instagram can verify your account when the process is done.

Instagram is a social networking site designed for users to share photos with their friends and followers. You can create an account for whatever you like, whether it is a personal account about you, or an account dedicated to your favorite television show, etc. Millions of people use it, and it's a great way to stay connected with the world.

You can also use your email address. When you open Instagram, it will prompt you to sign up using either Facebook or an email address.

You should probably go onto another IP address (or WiFi server). Your IP Address is basically an address for the digital world. Instagram probably uses that to eliminate spam. Go to the library or Starbucks and try it there. If it won't work on your phone, try creating an account on the library's computer.

Any email address to which you have current access. It helps if this is your main email account, since Instagram will sometimes send updates or newsletters. This address needs to be valid/current because, if you forget your password, you can use your email to reset it.

You can either add a new account to your Instagram app's account list by going into the "Options" menu and tapping "Add an Account" at the bottom of the page, or you can sign out of your current account and sign back in with your work account's credentials.

A user name is a name you'd want to be called by on whatever app or website you are using. As for how you make one, just think of anything you like. Although sometimes, someone has already thought of the same username you have. When that happens, add the number your age was a year ago or your age the next year.

Create an account together (you just need one phone number) and if you both know the name and the password, you can both go into the account and post. You could also create a shared email address to use for signing up and notifications.

Either the username is taken or it contains offensive language. Choose a different username and see what happens.
