Instagram has launched for users in the USA, New Zealand and Australia the ability to switch a regular account to a company profile with additional features. An official launch around the world is planned in the coming months, but there is still a loophole for connecting from anywhere in the world.
How to switch to a new account in Russia?
1. First of all, we need access to the VPN. The fastest and easiest way to move to the states is to download the TunnelBear app on your smartphone for iOS or Android. After installation and launch, follow the instructions to enable a free VPN with 500 mb of traffic per month.
2. Once everything is ready, launch Instagram and go to the settings (gear icon). In the "Account" section, select the "Switch to company profile" item and get to the screen where we are prompted to link the Facebook profile to Instagram. If you have already done this previously for personal purposes, then you just need to confirm the action with the OK button.
3. Next, Instagram will ask you to choose one of the pages on Facebook that you manage to copy contact information from there and attach your advertising account. In the next step, you can edit or delete the received data if they are not needed.
4. Now everything is ready to test new features!
Contacts
After the update, the “Contact” button will also appear next to the “Subscriptions” button. It is available only through the application and by pressing it will prompt the user to contact you through any of the contacts listed above. By the way, you can change them by going to "Edit Profile"\u003e "Company Contact Information".
Statistics
Among the visible updates, you can notice the new statistics icon, which appeared next to the settings gear. Please note that this icon will not be displayed when the VPN is turned off. Statistics is available only for new posts and shows the total number of post views per week, reach (number of unique users), the number of clicks on the link to the site in the profile, as well as the average time that your account subscribers spend on Instagram per day.
In addition, you can see the statistics of an individual post by opening it and clicking on the corresponding link.
Promotion
You can now also create advertising campaigns directly from the application. The function is available only when the VPN is on. Select the post you want to promote and fill in all the necessary fields. Along with a new feature, the “Payments” item appeared in the settings section, where you can select bank card to pay for promotion or add a new one.
Looked at the new features and wanted to return everything as it was? To do this, select "Switch back to your personal account" in the settings.
