If you’ve accidentally added your Instagram accounts to the same Meta Accounts Center, don’t worry — you can separate them. Having accounts linked incorrectly can cause problems like auto-posting or confusion when switching profiles.
Why This Matters
When accounts are linked in the same Accounts Center, Instagram may automatically share posts, stories, or login details between them. If you manage multiple accounts, keeping them separate avoids mistakes and keeps your content organized.
Before You Start
- Make sure you have the Instagram app updated on your phone.
- Ensure you know the username and password for each account in case you need to log back in.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Option 1: Remove Extra Accounts from Accounts Center
This unlinks accounts but does not delete them.
- Open the Instagram app.
- Go to your profile and tap the menu (☰).
- Select Settings and privacy.
- Scroll down and tap Accounts Center.
- Tap Accounts.
- You’ll see all linked accounts listed.
- Select the account you want to remove.
- Tap Remove from Accounts Center.
- Confirm removal.
✅ The account is now unlinked but still active.
Option 2: Turn Off Sharing Between Accounts
If the issue is auto-posting, use this method.
- Open Accounts Center.
- Tap Sharing across profiles.
- Select the linked accounts.
- Toggle off options like “Automatically share to…”
✅ This stops posts from automatically sharing between accounts.
Option 3: Log Out and Add Accounts Manually (If Needed)
If unlinking doesn’t fix things, you can re-add accounts separately.
- Log out of all accounts.
- Log in to one account at a time.
- Avoid merging them into Accounts Center unless necessary.
✅ This ensures each account stays separate.

Final Tips
If you manage multiple accounts, only connect them in Accounts Center if you specifically want to share login details or content. Otherwise, keep them separate for easier management.
