How Can You Tell If Someone Has Multiple Instagram Account?

Being suspicious about your best friend or boyfriend having another Instagram account?

Well everyone, in one or another way is possessive about their loved ones...and sometimes people become a little secretive about their life.

Social media is the hype of new generation and in which Instagram is the most loved platform as a source of sharing their life with people.

Usually people only have one official account on Instagram but sometimes people make more than one account that maybe because of business purpose or some other reason.

Is it possible to find if someone has multiple Instagram accounts?

Yes!

Therefore, there is no actual list on the Instagram where it shows corresponding accounts of an individual.

FOLLOWING STEPS CAN BE HELPFUL FOR THE SAME

READING THEIR BIO

This may sound obvious, but sometimes people list their other Instagram accounts on their main profile.

You’ll see this often with influencers, business owners, and even friends who have accounts for different topics, aesthetics and interests. You can also check the person’s stories to see if they are resharing content from one of their other accounts.

CHECK YOUR RECOMMENDED FRIENDS

If one of your friends has second account, you might see that account in recommendations.

It happens all the time, someone creates a secondary instagram account that they want to keep secret, but the Instagram doesn’t help one keep the secret.

The recommendations on Instagram is the secret buster between friends.

  • To see your recommended friends:
  • Open your own Instagram profile.
  • Tap the outline of a person with a plus sign to the right of the edit profile button.
  • Tap to see all to check out your suggestions.
  • Check out the profiles to see if any of them look similar like they belong to your friend.
  • Also, their content can make it much more obvious for who they really are…whether it matches their personality or not.

SYNC CONTACTS

Syncing your phone’s contacts is an easiest way to find out…as the phone number used on similar accounts must be same.

To sync contacts:

  • Go to your own profile and tap the three horizontal lines at the top.
  • Tap settings.
  • Tap account.
  • Tap contacts syncing.
  • Tap the switch next to “connect contacts”.

Once connected, Instagram will start recommending any of your contacts who are on Instagram. You can check your recommended friends list or just wait for notifications from Instagram.

4.LOOK AT WHO FOLLOWS THEM.

  • The user’s second account might be following their main account.
  • Tap followers link on their main profile to browse through their main account.
  • Identifying this person’s second account will require a little sleuthing, as you’ll have to scour each profile for clues like similar photos, bios and other details.

5.SEARCH FOR THEIR NAME ON INSTAGRAM.

If a person has multiple Instagram accounts, they might use similar names of their accounts.

If you search Microsoft on instagram panels you’ll find Microsoft’s main Instagram account, as well as some additional accounts they own like @microsoftlife and @microsoft.design

6.GOOGLE THEM

  • search google for the person’s name and Instagram to see what comes up.
  • Is searching Instagram doesn’t yield results, there’s an easy way to use google to search for words, names and phrases that appear in public Instagram accounts.
  • Type the person's name (or anything else you think might appear in the person's Instagram bio) into the search box.
  • Type a space, and then type site:instagram.com.
  • Press Enter or the search icon to see all results from public Instagram accounts that contain the name you entered.

DO A REVERSE IMAGE SEARCH ON ONE OF THEIR PHOTOS.

Searching for one of their photos can help you find out where else that photo appears online. 

By searching for any of their photos, you might find out that a person is using that photo on another one of their Instagram accounts, on a secret Facebook account, or on any other platform.

The easiest way to reverse image search on Instagram is with Google Chrome on your computer:

  • Sign in to https://instagram.com in Chrome on your computer.
  • Go to one of the person's posts or click their profile photo.
  • Right-click the photo and select Search images with Google Lens.
  • Click and drag a square around the image you want to search. Any matching photos will appear in the right panel.

If you can't use a computer, just open the person's profile photo or one of their photo posts in the Instagram app and take a screenshot (they won't know). Then, open the Google app on your phone, tap the camera icon, and select the screenshot to search.
