Instagram has become the most popular social network of the moment. It is a good option for many users, as well as functioning as a showcase for companies and brands. For this reason, it is increasingly common to have an account on this social network. Although there may be some users who do not know how it is possible to open an account in the application.
This is a simple process, which we tell you about below. There are two ways in which we can open an account on Instagram, so it is possible that some of you have a method that is more comfortable for you. That is why it is good to know the two methods that we have available in this regard.
Create a new account
The first way we have available is to create an account from scratch. This requires that we have to enter a series of data on the website or in the application, it is possible to create an account using both methods. To do this, we have to go to the website of the social network, this link. The data that Instagram will ask us in any case are the following:
- An email address or a phone number (everyone chooses the option they want)
- Full name of the person
- Username (you have to check that the desired one is free)
- Password
In this way, we just have to enter this information to create an account in the application in this way. When the data has been entered, you must click on the blue next button, if it is done from the web. The normal thing is that if there is any data that is incorrect, such as the username is already occupied or that an email has been given that already has an associated account, this will be notified on the screen.
Once all these data have been entered in the application, the account is created. Instagram will open where you have your profile and where the configuration of the same will be allowed at all times. With these simple steps the account has already been created on the social network. Once you have the account, a next step can be verification of the same, especially in business or artist profiles.
Use your Facebook account
As many of you already know, Instagram has been owned by Facebook for a few years. Therefore, there are certain points in which the two social networks have been integrated, or have facilitated the integration between the two. Because of this, users are offered the possibility to use their Facebook account as the account to use to create a profile on the other social network. So both profiles are in this way associated. It is a really simple way to create an account, since you only have to associate them.
This is something really simple, it only takes a few seconds. We have to enter the website of the social network, this link. In it we find the option that says «Log in with Facebook«, Displayed on a blue button. By clicking on this button, what will be done is to log in to our Facebook account, but this time on Instagram. Our profile name will come out with total security in it.
It is a method that provides a lot of comfort, especially if you do not want to have to be looking for a username. In the case of a business or professional profile, it may be a good option to have the two associated profiles. In addition to being easier to manage, a simpler login is allowed at all times or that the name is the same, which can help if you want to give a certain image in the profile.
In the case of using the application on the smartphone, when you open the applications on the phone, several options appear. One of the options displayed on the screen is to log in with Facebook. So if you already have the Facebook app installed on your phone and the session is open, this will be synchronized so that in a couple of seconds you will be logged into Instagram. Really easy to use also in the smartphone app.
Which option is the best?
There really isn't one option that is better than the other.. Both ways allow us to have an account on Instagram, which is exactly what we want. For many users, the ability to sync it with their Facebook account makes this process much easier. Without a doubt, it is a comfortable and very useful option, so do not hesitate to make use of it, because it works very well.
Of course, if you don't have a Facebook account, you will have to create your own Instagram account from scratch. But this is not a complicated process, so it won't take long to have your profile on the social network. In this way, you can enjoy it as soon as possible.
