Instagram has two types of accounts – personal and professional (creator, and business).
👉 Important: Only professional accounts can be connected to ZoomSphere.
So, to connect an Instagram account to ZoomSphere, it's necessary to be switched to a Professional Account.
You can set this up directly in the native Instagram mobile app or the desktop version.
👉 Go to your Instagram account and click on menu → Settings and privacy → Account type and tools → Switch to professional account.
Then choose → Set as Business or Creator Account → Switch → Done ✅
Once you have chosen Professional Account, you will be taken through a little tour introducing the account options and possibilities.
Select a Category of your business area and hit the button Done.
That's it! 😉
