Instagram allows you to create multiple accounts. In addition to the main account, it is convenient to divide it by purpose, such as for close friends and hobby accounts. But sometimes you can't create a subaccount. Why?
There are three main reasons why you cannot create multiple accounts. I will explain each one.
・The number of accounts has exceeded the upper limit ・Trying to create a sub-account in a sub-account ・Trying to create on the PC version
Instagram allows you to create up to four sub-accounts for an account. All five accounts are operated with the same email address or mobile number. If you cannot create a subaccount, you may have reached this limit.
To see which account is associated with which account, please check your email address or mobile number in "Personal Information" under "Account" in "Settings".
If you really want to create multiple accounts, create a new main account with an email address or mobile number that you don't use on Instagram.
You cannot create a sub-account from a sub-account that is linked to your main account. Switch to your main account if you still have 4 or less sub-accounts, or create a new main account.
The PC version of Instagram doesn't have the ability to create sub-accounts. You can create sub-accounts on the iOS and Android versions and switch accounts on the PC version. Alternatively, if you have a main account, you can create it on the PC version.
In addition to the above, the reason why you cannot create multiple accounts may be that the communication environment or the operation of the application is unstable. Try updating the app to the latest version in a stable communication environment.
