Do you want to know if it is possible to log in to Instagram via VK without registering and installing a mobile application? To answer this question, let’s open the Instagram start page. Is there a “Log in via Contact” button? No!
Remember once and for all: logging into Insta is only possible through Facebook or using the login and password created during official registration.
Why is it possible through FB, but not through Contact? The fact is that the insta photo network is an extension of Facebook, and, accordingly, belongs to the same corporation. All other social platforms are its competitors, so you cannot log into Instagram either through Contact, or through Mail.ru, or in any other way.
However, despite the fact that you cannot log into Instagram using VK without registration, you can link these two accounts. This will allow you to automatically import photos into the selected album or directly onto the wall. Of course, you must first officially create an Instagram profile.
What are the benefits of synchronization?
So, we found out that you can only access Instagram and Contact separately. This means register on both sites. Next, they can be synchronized with each other. What does a bunch of accounts give?
- You will be able to upload photos to two social networks at once;
- Synchronous publication of descriptions and hashtags for each new post occurs;
- You get a unique and simple opportunity to advertise your Instagram through another social network;
- You will be able to make a quick transition from VK to Instagram, without having to enter your username and password every time.
How to register via email
If you don’t have a Facebook profile and don’t plan to create one, select the second method in the registration window – registration via email. The procedure is very simple and even standard. You will need to enter your data, such as email, password and login, in the required lines.
At this stage, you can also enter your real name and phone number and add your photo into your future “Profile,” but you can do this later. Click "Next". You will find yourself on a page that asks you to find friends. Here you can use your VKontakte account. All your friends can be transferred to Instagram if they also use this application. You can skip this step for now by clicking on “Not now” and complete registration.
In the “Email” column, you can indicate absolutely any address, even one that does not belong to you or does not exist at all. You will not receive confirmation by email to complete registration. So it won't affect anything during the registration process. Unless now your account will be vulnerable, and attackers can easily take advantage of this. If you plan to use Instagram for a long time, it is better to provide correct information when registering.
How to link accounts?
Today, synchronization can only be configured through Contact, from a computer. Linking from Insta no longer works. Before the latest updates, this was possible through “Settings” - “Account” - “Linked accounts”. Today, Contact is not on the list of platforms with which Instagram can be linked.
However, despite the fact that Contact is no longer one of the favorite partners of the Insta-photo network, he is not “proud”. Therefore, you can still synchronize with Insta from it.
Instagram my page: log in via VKontakte
Despite the desire of many users to log into Instagram via VK, such an option is not provided. Don't expect drastic changes in the near future.
A similar situation is associated with belonging to a photo network. It is a kind of application and addition to the social network Facebook, which will not help its own competitors.
Those who want to create their own account will not be able to do this either through Google, or through Yandex, or through Mail, or through Vkontakte. Therefore, it is better to abandon pointless attempts to accomplish the impossible and choose one of the registration forms offered by the program.
Moreover, the available methods are positively distinguished by their simplicity, and the existing procedure for creating a personal page will take minimal time.
From computer
Let's find out how to log into Instagram through Contact using a computer. By input we mean synchronization, of course.
- Log in to your profile;
- Click on the “Edit” button (under the main avatar);
- In the column on the right, select the “Contacts” block;
- Click “Integrate with Instagram”;
- A field for authorization in the photo network will open in a new browser window. Enter your username and password, click “Login”;
- Finally, you need to indicate in what place new photos will be saved and published: in a separate album or directly on the wall. If you choose option 1, the insta-album will be created automatically. If desired, it can be hidden from selected users or even closed with privacy settings.
- Done, now all new posts from Instagram will be automatically published on the second social network, with a description, hashtags and additional tags.
If you need to quickly log into my Instagram page via VK, just go to the “Contacts” section and click on the linked profile link. The browser will instantly open a new window with the mobile version of your Insta. By the way, you don’t need to create a separate login with a username and password!
Perhaps, above we gave the only answer to the question “is it possible to access Instagram through VK.” There are no other options.
How to import videos and photos to VK
The VK resource is equipped with a more thoughtful way of setting up the export of publications, contacts and files, since web surfers can independently choose the space in which a particular file will be stored. The following options are available to choose from:
- Import to your own wall, where the Instagram label will be displayed on posts.
- Import into a specific album, which will automatically be named Instagram.
- Import with a hashtag – this album contains only those files that have a hashtag on the network.
From phone
You cannot log into Instagram via VK from your phone, or link profiles from here, as we have already mentioned above. The contact was simply removed from the list of options for linking. However, we repeat, login and synchronization from Contact are still possible.
If you want to make sure that the binding described in the previous section was successful, do the following:
- Log in to Instagram on your phone;
- Go to Settings;
- Go to the “Security” block;
- Tap on “Applications and Sites”;
- Click on the “Active” line;
- The Contact should also be displayed in the list of others;
- If synchronization was performed by mistake, click on the “Remove” button.
If for some reason you cannot create a link of profiles through Contact, but you want posts from Instagram to be duplicated there or advertised in some way, proceed as follows:
- There is no need to log into Instagram through a second social network from your phone - just publish a post on Insta;
- When it appears in the feed, click on the three vertical dots in the right corner of the tile;
- Select the “Share to...” command;
- Tap on the Contact icon;
- Click on “Post to Wall”;
- Click on the checkmark in the upper right corner;
- Done, now a link to this post on Insta, with a brief description and photo, will appear in your feed on the Contact page.
Another alternative to Instagram logging in via VK is to provide a link to the latter in the “Site” section in the “Edit Profile” block. It is located directly under the Insta profile description, on the main page. The link will be active, anyone can use it to log into your account (if it is not blocked by privacy settings from other users).
Is it possible to find your friends on VKontakte on Instagram?
Of course, since it is impossible to log in from one social network to another, and there is no possibility of direct synchronization between these social networks, then it will not be possible to transfer the list of friends from one to another, but, by the way, there are other ways to find out Instagram from a page in VC.
- See if the Instagram handle is listed as a friend - this is a fairly common practice.
- Check if your friend has both sites synchronized - click on “Full information” and check the specified contacts.
- Look through the posts of the person you need - perhaps there is a link to his account.
- Send a message with your Instagram handle and ask if your friend is registered there.
Now you know all the available methods, use them to find your friends from VK on Instagram!
other methods
Some sites provide instructions on how to access Instagram via VKontakte using special applications that can be found through “Search” in the “Games” section. We tested the 2 most popular (according to ratings) programs and made sure that they did not work.
In the first case, everything just froze, the login did not happen. In the second, the login window opened, you had to enter your Insta login and password, which we did. However, we quickly became convinced that Instagram is not included in the VKontakte account, and the request on the contrary also does not work. Of course, we quickly changed the passwords in both profiles and, hopefully, the procedure will not result in trouble for us. We simply don’t advise you to try it. Learn from other people's mistakes!
So, let's sum it up!
- It is impossible to log into Instagram through a second social network without officially registering with the first;
- It is possible to link two profiles. This is done through the computer version of the site, from the Contact page;
- Synchronization from Instagram is not possible. From here you are only allowed to share posts to the Contact feed.
To date, these instructions are the most current and valid. We have checked every point of our recommendations. We hope you find the article useful! Enjoy it for your health!
