About Instagram Collaboration Posts
An Instagram Collaboration post lets two or more accounts share the same post, showing all of them as creators. It’s a great way to reach more people since the post appears on each collaborator’s profile and combines their audiences. You can add up to three collaborators to one post, making it perfect for growing your reach and boosting brand visibility on Instagram.
Step-by-Step: Create an Instagram Collab Post
Click on Compose Post from the Home page. Select your Instagram account, add a caption, media, and hashtags.
In the Instagram settings, click Add Collaborators and enter the usernames of the accounts you’d like to invite. You can add up to three collaborators to your post.
Note: We are not able to verify the usernames you enter. However, we allow you to verify that the username exists. Click on the button "Verify" next to the username. This will open the Instagram account natively on another web page.
How do collaborators accept my invitation?
After the post is published, all subsequent actions occur on Instagram. Invited collaborators receive a notification that they’ve been added to your post and can choose to accept or reject the invitation:
- If they accept, their name will appear alongside the original creator’s, and the post will also show on their profile and in their followers’ feeds.
- If they reject, the post will remain visible only on the original creator’s account.
That is all about Instagram collab posts!
