Switching your social media accounts from business to personal can be a straightforward process if you follow the right steps. Whether you’re on Instagram, Facebook, or X (formerly Twitter), here’s how you can change your business account back to a personal account.
How to Change Instagram Business Account to Personal Account
Switching from a business account to a personal account on Instagram is simple and can be done in just a few steps.
Open Instagram App: Launch the Instagram app on your mobile device.
Go to Profile: Tap on your profile picture at the bottom right corner to go to your profile page.
Access Settings: Tap the three horizontal lines at the top right corner and select “Settings.”
Account: Scroll down and tap on “Account.”
Switch Account Type: At the bottom, you will see an option that says “Switch Account Type.” Tap on it.
Switch to Personal Account: Choose “Switch to Personal Account” and confirm your choice.
By following these steps, your Instagram account will revert to a personal account, removing business features like insights and promotions.
How to Change Facebook Business Account to Personal Account
On Facebook, the process involves changing your page back to a personal profile or managing your profile settings if you have a business account.
Open Facebook App: Open the Facebook app on your device or go to the Facebook website.
Go to Settings: Click on the downward-facing arrow in the top right corner and select “Settings & Privacy,” then “Settings.”
Account Settings: Navigate to “Your Facebook Information” in the left-hand menu.
View Your Information: Click on “View” next to “Deactivation and Deletion.”
Deactivation: If you’re managing a page, you might need to deactivate it. Select “Deactivate Account,” then follow the instructions.
Create Personal Profile: If you deactivated a page, go back to creating a new personal profile or adjust your current profile settings to reflect a personal use case.
Note that Facebook does not offer a direct switch from a business page to a personal profile, so you might need to create a new personal account if you’ve been using a business page.
How to Change X (formerly Twitter) Business Account to Personal Account
Switching your account type on X (formerly Twitter) from business to personal is quite straightforward.
Open X App: Open the X app on your mobile device or visit the X website.
Go to Profile: Click on your profile icon in the top left corner.
Settings and Privacy: Scroll down and select “Settings and privacy.”
Account Settings: Click on “Account” to access your account settings.
Account Information: Here, you can adjust your profile to remove business-related information.
Change Account Type: There might not be a specific button to switch account types as Twitter allows more flexibility. Simply adjust your profile and bio to reflect a personal account instead of a business one.
Changing your business account to a personal account on Instagram, Facebook, and X (formerly Twitter) can help streamline your social media presence for personal use. Following these steps ensures a smooth transition, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of a personal account without the complexities of business features.
