How to have an Instagram account without connecting it to Facebook

Have you decided to subscribe to Instagram but don’t want to associate it with Facebook? Read how to do it.

Today a friend of yours showed you his Instagram profile and although you are not a frequent visitor to social networks, you have decided to sign up. When you opened the app for the first time, you noticed a strange wording under the logo, or “from Facebook” . If you think about it, even when you open Whatsapp you will find this writing. Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, and his team added this message simply because many were unaware that both Instagram and WhatsApp belonged to Facebook.
Well, now a doubt has arisen: “Can you create an Instagram account without Facebook?”. Although the two platforms are connected and belong to the same company, we tell you right away that it is possible to create an Instagram account without having Facebook or connecting it to it. So let’s see how to create an account without Facebook from both a smartphone and a computer.

Sign up for Instagram without Facebook via smartphone

If you have decided to subscribe to Instagram without Facebook from a smartphone, the first step to do is download the application on your mobile :

• Download Instagram for Android ;
• Download Instagram for iOS .

Then follow this procedure:

1. Click on the downloaded application and in the screen that opens tap on “Don’t have an account? Sign up “;
2. Depending on how you want to subscribe, enter your e-mail address or mobile number;
3. Tap on “Next”;
4. Enter your name and surname and password;
5. Create the username or nickname of your Instagram profile (the username is the pseudonym that will appear to your  followersor other subscribers);
6. Check the box I am eighteen or older if you are of age, otherwise select I am under eighteen;
7. Enter your date of birth;
8. Click on “Next” to complete the operation.

Before ending Instagram will invite you to complete your profile by adding your profile photo and bio. Thanks to the bio, people who come to your profile for the first time can decide whether to follow you or not. For this reason, if you don’t know how to add a bio on Instagram,  read this article.
