Instagram launched their new API.
How does it affect your Preview account?
Here is what you need to know.
Step 1. Update your Preview App
Go to your app store, and make sure you have the latest update of Preview installed on your phone.
Step 2. Re-login
⭐️ If you are currently logged in with Facebook in Preview (you can go in your settings in Preview to check this) you are not affected by this change. There is nothing you need to do.
⭐️ If you are logged in with Instagram (you can go to your Preview Settings to see this), you need to do the following.
➡️ If you have a Business or Creator Instagram Account:
- Go to Settings in Preview
- Press “Relink” next to your Instagram username
- Login with the same Instagram account again
➡️ If you don’t have a Business or Creator Instagram Account:
- You have to convert your Instagram account to at least a Creator Account
- This is very simple: Click here to see how to do it.
- After you have done that:
- Go to Settings in Preview
- Press “Relink” next to your Instagram username
- Login with the same Instagram account again
➡️ If you don’t want to convert to a Business or Creator Instagram Account:
- You have to unlink your Instagram account from Preview
- Go to your Preview Settings
- Switch off “Instagram”
- You can continue using Preview, without having Instagram linked to it
The New Instagram API does not support Non-Business and Non-Creator Account.
That’s it!
The old Instagram API will stop working on December 4, 2024.
We will keep you updated if anything else changes.
