Many of Instagram’s best features, like direct messaging and the ability to create photo and video posts, are now available in your web browser. While it’s not possible to create a story using Instagram on your computer, you can still view other people’s stories just as you would in the mobile app.
If you’d rather not use your email address, you could enter a phone number—but if you do, you’ll need to confirm your phone number by verifying a code you receive via text. Alternatively, if you already have a Facebook account, you can skip filling out the form and choose to link your new Instagram account to Facebook—just click Log in with Facebook, enter your Facebook login details, and then click Log in.
Click the profile photo at the top-right and select Profile. Click the Edit Profile button at the top of your profile. To select a profile photo, click Change profile photo and upload a photo from your computer. You can also change the name that appears on your profile, add a link to your website, type a brief bio, and update your gender and contact information. When you’re finished, click Submit at the bottom to save your new profile.
