Creating an Instagram Account Using Mobile Phone

If you want to set up an Instagram account on your mobile, here’s how to do it:

  1. For both Android and iPhone users, go to their respective Play Store and download the Instagram app on your device.
  1. Once the app is installed, launch it and tap the option ‘Create New Account’.
  1. Now, you will get two options to choose from- one is to use your ‘Phone Number’ and the other is to use your ‘Email Address’ to sign up for an Instagram account. Once you have entered the required information, tap ‘Next’.
  1. For Email Address:
  • You will be asked to enter the confirmation code sent to your email address; press ‘Next’.
  • After that, fill out your profile info and tap ‘Next’ when prompted.

  • Next, add your date of birth and press ‘Next’.
  • Your Instagram profile is ready, you can change your username if you want or tap ‘Next’.
  • Now, you have to create a password for your Instagram account and tap ‘Next’.
  • If you want you can even connect to your Facebook friends on Instagram or else ‘Skip’ it for now.

Instagram account is mainly used to increase business reach; you can easily promote your business and increase your followers. Several ways are there using which you can increase real followers on Instagram. When you create an Instagram account for yourself, make sure to use genuine information to avoid getting blocked in the future.
If you can make your brand popular or have a good number of followers, you can also get your Instagram verified which is a very talked-about feature of Instagram. Moreover, if you sense some sort of inappropriate behavior by anyone, you can simply block them on Instagram to avoid any further contact.
