If you’re receiving the notification on Instagram “you reached the maximum number of business accounts,” you’ll need to either reconnect your Facebook business page, switch a business account to a personal account, or create Facebook pages to link to your Instagram.
What is the Limit of Instagram Business Accounts in 2024?
The limit on Instagram business accounts is 5 accounts.
If you’re looking to add more than 5, you’ll have to follow our fix below.
How Do You Fix “You Reached the Maximum Number of Business Accounts On Instagram?”
Relink Your Facebook Page to Your Instagram Account
The first way to fix this issue is to reconnect your Facebook social media page. In your Facebook business manager settings, travel to the “Instagram” tab.
If there’s a connection issue, it will ask if you want to reconnect your Instagram.
Reconnect and you’ll find your business account on Instagram has returned.
Not the fix?
Don’t worry, keep reading.
Switch One of the Previous Business Accounts to a Personal
Another easy way to fix this problem is to switch one account to a personal account if it does not need to be a business profile or a professional profile.
If neither of these options works for you, follow the below workaround to get more than the 5 maximum pages.
Create a New Facebook Page
When you create a new Facebook business page, you can connect it with your personal Instagram, even if you’ve already hit your maximum number of professional profiles.
Here’s how to do it!
Step One
Open Facebook and travel to the Facebook menu.
Step Two
Select “Your Pages.”
Then, select “Create.”
Step Three
Follow the prompts to create your business page.
Step Four
Once your page is complete, travel to the page and open “Settings.”
Step Five
Select the Instagram tab and click “Connect Account.”
That’s it!
Now when you go back to Instagram and click the option to “switch to professional profile” you’ll have another business account and will not receive the “you reached the maximum number of business accounts” error message.
Repeat this process for however many business pages you need to create.
