Create an Instagram account using a mobile phone
If you want to set up an Instagram account on your mobile phone, here’s how to do it:
- For Android and iPhone users, please go to the respective Play Store and download the Instagram app on your device.
- Once the app is installed, launch it and tap on the ‘Create new account’ option.
- You will now have two options to choose from: one is to use your ‘phone number’ and the other is to use your ’email address’ to log into your Instagram account. Once you have entered the required information, tap ‘Next’.
- For the email address:
- You will be asked to enter a verification code sent to your email address; press ‘Next’.
- After that, fill in your profile information and tap ‘Next’ when prompted.
- For the phone number:

An Instagram account is primarily used to increase business reach; you can easily promote your business and increase your following. There are several ways in which you can increase real followers on Instagram. When creating an Instagram account for yourself, be sure to use authentic information to avoid getting blocked in the future. If you can make your brand popular or have a good number of followers, you can also check your Instagram which is a much talked about feature of Instagram. Also, if you spot any inappropriate behavior from someone, you can simply block them on Instagram to prevent any further contact.
