In this article, we’ll explain how to switch your Instagram country and region.
It’s possible that you started your Instagram account in a different nation or region and that you now wish to change the location of your account. You will be shown exactly how to achieve this by us!
In 2023, Statista projects that there will be 1.2 billion active Instagram users globally.
Let’s start this right away!
1. Open the Instagram app
You must first launch the Instagram app and log in to the account you want to alter the region of, or switch to it.
2. Go to your Instagram settings
You should next visit Instagram’s settings.
By tapping on your profile in the bottom navigation bar, you may access your Instagram profile.
Next, tap the three bars in Instagram’s upper right corner. You can choose from a menu when you click this button.
The gear-shaped button labelled “Settings” must be selected.
3. Switch your Instagram account to a professional account
To change your area or country, you must now convert your Instagram account to a professional account.
You must first ensure that you are in your Instagram settings before tapping “Account.”
The option to change your account must then be found. The “Switch to Professional account” button will appear.
The button is now located directly at the bottom of the page, but it might have moved.
Instagram will display the advantages of having a professional account when you hit “Switch to Professional account.”
You will be presented various slides about having a professional account, thus you must hit “Continue” more than once. The page “What best describes you?” will then be displayed to you.
Therefore, you must select a category. Unless you turn the “Display on profile” switch on or off, this will appear on your Instagram profile.
You may now select “Done.”
Additionally, if you convert your account to a professional account, Instagram will inform you that your account will become public.
To agree to this, tap “Ok”.
Depending on the category you choose when you first started the process, you will then need to decide whether you are a “Creator” or “Business.”
Select “Business” and then press “Next.”
If you don’t have this choice, you will undoubtedly be treated as a business account, which is accurate.
4. Set your country and region of your Instagram account
You will then be directed to a page with the subject “Review your contact info.”
You can select your region, country, and city here. Don’t worry, you don’t have to provide a precise address.
You can choose from a few different alternatives when you tap “Business address.” You can search for your city or town by tapping on “City/Town.”
You are not need to submit a street address or postal code, as was previously stated.
Tap “Done” when you are completed.
You can touch “Next” to return to the page where you reviewed your contact information.
The opportunity to link to Facebook can be presented to you. But if you don’t want to, you can simply tap “Skip.”
If you want to, you can complete the further steps Instagram will provide you to finish creating your professional account, but you are not required to do so right away.
Tap on the cross in the top right if you don’t want to finish them right away.
5. Show your country and region on your Instagram profile
Your nation and region will not currently be displayed on your profile.
Here’s how to make it visible on your profile, though you can choose to keep it concealed.
Click “Edit Profile” on your Instagram profile page.
After that, click “Contact options” to edit or remove the publicly available business information.
For instance, since we just want our region and country to be displayed on our profile, we eliminated our email from the contact options.
After changing any contact information, you must return to the “Edit profile” page.
Next, select “Profile show”
You have the option to display or hide your profile’s contact information on this page.
Therefore, you must turn “Display contact details” on if you wish to display your nation and region.
When you’re done, tap “Done” to confirm.
All of these settings may be reversed if you change your mind, so just follow this tutorial one again to undo all of the modifications.

Then touch “Contact options,” and your public business information will be shown.
All of information is modifiable, so tap on your existing address if you wish to change it.
Then, you can enter your new region or nation and, if you’d like, additional address information.
