How to manage multi-account notifications on Instagram?

When you log in to Instagram with multiple accounts, you will receive notifications for each account you have turned on, you may receive one for one account or several accounts.

To delete an added account, you must log out of that account:

Go to your profile and log in to the desired account.

1. Go to Settings.

2. Scroll to the bottom of the page and select the [Log out of [username or Log out of All Accounts] option, the first option will only log out of the same account and the second option will log out of all accounts.

If you still see the deleted account, follow these steps:

1. Exit both accounts.

2. Go back to the login page, you will still see the name of the deleted account.

3. Hold your finger on the deleted account, you will see X, select X.

4. A confirmation message indicates that you have confirmed it.

These days, Instagram allows you to view stories, send direct message search and explore tags and locations, and follow (and unfollow, let’s be real) accounts from your desktop computer.

But there is no option to switch between Instagram accounts on PC.

You can log in to your various accounts with different browsers, with one browser this is not possible unfortunately.
