3 Ways to Invite People to Follow You on Instagram

There are several different ways to invite your friends to follow you on Instagram. The methods include social media apps, SMS, and email. This simple approach will help you increase the visibility of your Instagram account and attract the attention of more people across the world.

  1. WhatsApp

WhatsApp is available on almost all smartphones. It's a safe, easy, and convenient method to communicate with friends. Follow these steps to invite your friends via WhatsApp:

Step 1: Log into your Instagram account and go to your profile. If you don't already have an Instagram account, create one now.

Step 2: To open a new menu, tap the Menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the upper right corner of the screen.

Step 3: Select Settings. To provide a safe experience, Instagram provides a variety of privacy and security options in this menu.

Step 4: Click on the option Follow and Invite Friends from the menu.

Step 4: Tap the option Invite friends by WhatsApp. Instagram will request your permission to open this app.

Step 5: To approve access to WhatsApp, select Open. You will be led to a contact list.

Step 6: Choose which contacts you want to invite. You may share their joining link with up to five others.

Step 7: Select Next, then Send. If your account is public, recipients can read its contents without having to sign up. 

Private accounts, on the other hand, require people to join up, send a follow request, and wait for approval before gaining access to your content.

Step 8: If you want everyone to have access to your Instagram account, you can add it to your WhatsApp status. Click My Status and Send to upload the link.

  1. SMS

SMS (or iMessage on the iPhone) is popular among those who use phones. To invite your friends on Instagram, send them a text using this method:

Step 1: To access your text box, tap the Invite friends by SMS button. A URL including your username is immediately pasted.

Step 2: Write the contact number or enter as many contacts as your phone allows.

Step 3: To send your text, simply press the arrow. People can create an account by clicking on the link provided.

  1. Email

You may also ask someone to follow your Instagram account by sending an email. This method is also used in email marketing to increase awareness of your Instagram account. 

Here's how to invite others by email:

Step 1: Click Invite Friends by Email to access a pre-created email with a link to your Instagram account.

Step 2: Write or paste the emails you want to send in the text. Make any necessary changes.

Step 3: To send your email, simply press the arrow or Send button.
