Logging into the main account would instantly log them into the rest, as well. This eliminates the need for remembering multiple email/username and password combo. A simpler login could get people switching accounts, posting and engaging more with Instagram. Account linking could also power up Instagram’s existing login platform.

The code to this upcoming feature is present in the alpha version of the Android app. It explains “Quickly and securely log in to all of your Instagram accounts with one ID and password.
