Expert Answer

Yeah, I think it's important to always connect Instagram to one other social media profile. Choosing Facebook is a good idea, because then you're able to post on either one and it saves you a lot of time.

Question

Can I set up an Instagram account through another person's mobile phone who has the app?

Community Answer

Yes, but you have to make sure that the person has only one account, as you are only allowed two accounts per phone. If you want, you can also set up Instagram through Safari.

Question

I want to set up my deleted account. How can I do so?

Community Answer

You can't restore a deleted Instagram account, you can only make another one with the same email. You may not get the same username, though.

Question

Why does only one profile picture show up on my homepage if I am following several people?

The profile picture(s) will only show up when someone you're following posts something on their story.

Question

Can I use an alias name on Instagram?

Community Answer

Of course! Use any name if it has not been used already. 1234bookworm could be one, or if your name is Hanni, you could call yourself Alice. Just remember to call yourself Alice if you don't want followers knowing too much about you.
