How to Switch from a Professional Instagram Account

Question: How to safely and quickly switch from a professional Instagram account to a personal one?

Answer: Switching from a professional account to a personal account allows you to regain control over your profile, but you should be aware of the impact on analytics and advertising tools. Here’s a step-by-step guide.

1. Switch to personal

Open Instagram, go to account settings, and select Account → Switch to Personal Account. After confirmation, your account will become personal, and professional features will no longer be available.

2. Loss of analytics

Once you leave the professional account, data on reach, engagement, and ads will become inaccessible. It's recommended to save important reports beforehand. Instagram statistics will stop updating.

3. Switching back

If you need to make your account professional again, you can reactivate it via Settings → Account → Switch to Professional Account. Some of the old analytics data may not be fully restored.
