Instagram Handle

A username used to identify an account on the Instagram platform is known as an Instagram handle. You need to pick a different username to differentiate yourself from other users. 

When you want to connect to a brand or user on Instagram, you search for that account using the Instagram handle, which appears at the top of your profile section. You can create your Instagram handle or change it by editing your profile when creating an account.

What Are The Types of Instagram Handles?

The handling of a professional account differs from that of a personal account. Business accounts can uphold a professional image and show this through the account’s handle. 

2. Personal Handle 

You can use your full or half name as your personal account handle on Instagram. Compared to a professional account, a personal account is way more relaxed. 

3. Business Handle 

A business handle provides you with business tool and controls. It is used to post branding content, product promotion etc.
