How to Remove a Second Person Managing Your Instagram Account

Managing your social media accounts can sometimes involve sharing access with others. However, there may come a time when you need to remove a second person from managing your Instagram account. Here are the detailed steps to achieve this:

Step-by-Step Guide to Removing a Second Person from Your Instagram Account

Open Instagram Log into your account on the Instagram app or website.

Once logged in, follow the below steps to remove the second person from managing your account:

1. Access Your Account Settings

On the app, tap your profile picture in the bottom right corner to access your profile. Then tap the three horizontal lines in the top right corner to open the settings menu. Select Account Center if the person has administrative access or has been granted access via Facebook.

2. Remove Access

Find the option to Remove Access. If the person is an admin on a business account, you can remove them from the account settings or admin section. Make sure to check that the person no longer has access.

3. Confirm Changes

Go through the confirmation process to ensure that the changes are implemented correctly.

Managing Third-Party App Access

If the second person has access via a third-party app, you may need to revoke their access through the app's settings. Check the app management or account settings in the third-party app to revoke their permission.

Alternative Method: Change Your Password

A simple and effective method to remove a second person managing your Instagram account is to change your password. This logs out every session and prevents them from accessing the account:

1. Change Your Password

Go to your Instagram settings. Select the option to Change Password.

2. Notify the Second Person

When you change your password, you'll be required to log in again. This notification will be sent to the second person, informing them that the owner has changed the password and they need to log in with the new password.

Revoking Access from Third-Party Apps

If you are using third-party apps to manage your Instagram account, you can also revoke access by:

1. Checking Third-Party App Access

Access the settings section of your Instagram account and look for a list of third-party apps that have access to your account.

2. Removing Apps from the List

Delete the relevant third-party apps from the list to revoke their access. This is an additional measure to ensure that no one can access your account through these apps.

Both removing the person from your primary settings and changing your password are effective methods to manage access to your Instagram account. Choose the method that best suits your needs and ensures the security and privacy of your account.
