-

Tap Add Instagram . You'll see this under the "Social" header near the bottom of the page.- The Instagram login screen will load.
- If you don't see the Instagram option here, there are a few ways that you can proceed: If you have 2 Instagram accounts with the same login information, you may need to change one before you can link it to TikTok.
- You can also make sure that your Instagram account has been verified via email. If not, you may not be able to link your TikTok and Instagram.
- If those methods don't work, make sure all your drafts are saved to your phone, then delete and reinstall the app from your phone.
-
Login with Instagram. You can either enter your Instagram username, email, or phone number and password, or you can log in with Facebook.- Tap Log in to continue.
- Once you successfully enter your Instagram information, you'll need to confirm that TikTok can access it. Tap Allow to continue.
- Your Instagram information will appear next to "Instagram" under the "Social" header. If you view your profile, you'll see that your Instagram account has been linked. Linking your TikTok account just adds the link in your bio, nothing else. [1] X Research source
