Instagram Hacks
1. See what posts you’ve liked
If you want to go back in time and look at all of the posts you have ever liked before, this can be done by pressing the “hamburger” menu. Go to Settings, then Account, and press Posts You’ve Liked.
2. Manage several accounts from a single device
You can manage as many as five different Instagram accounts from your smartphone with the app. This is a valuable feature for any social media managers out there that have multiple accounts to run simultaneously. To add an account, press the gear icon (Settings) and go down to the bottom and press Add Account. You will be sent to a login page where you can log in and add another account.
3. Add breaks in your bio
To better explain what you and your brand are about, you can use separate lines in your bio. However, the process of doing this is not that straightforward. To get around this, write the bio out in a notes application on your smartphone, with the line breaks you want, and then copy and paste it into the bio section.
4. Tag other accounts in your bio
When tagging the profiles of other Instagram accounts on your bio, they automatically become clickable. This, therefore, acts as the perfect place to promote any other accounts, such as sister companies, that you may have on the platform.
5. Change the alignment of your bio
To stand out from the rest of the accounts on Instagram, you can change the alignment of your bio from the standard left-aligned to either centre or right aligned instead. There are pieces of code that you can download online to do this. Once copied, the code can then be pasted into your bio.
6. Put keywords in your profile name
So that your Account becomes more visible when searched for, you can add keywords to your username. This is because, rather than names, sometimes users on Instagram search for specific words related to the industry or product/service.
