How to Change Your Instagram Business Category

Changing your category is also easy and can be done as many times as you’d like (although, I don’t recommend changing it often as it could confuse your audience).

Under “Edit Profile” click on your current category.

Once you are in the database, you can search for a new category.

Does Your Instagram Category Matter?

Having the right category will help people understand what your business is about. As you can change your category as many times as you’d like, it’s alright if you feel that your category doesn’t reflect your business and you’d like to change it. For example, I used to have “entrepreneur” as my category, but I eventually decided that the best category for me was “writer”, so I ended up switching it.
