As of December 4, 2024, Instagram requires a Business or Creator account for third-party applications to access your photos. If you want to continue using Instagram as a Pixo photo source, you must convert your personal account to a Professional account. The process is free and can be done within the Instagram app.
To convert your Instagram account to a professional account, go to your profile, tap the menu, select Account type and tools then Switch to professional account. Choose a category, then select whether you want a business or creator account.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown:
- Go to your profile and tap the menu icon (☰).
- Select Settings and then Account type and tools.
- Choose Switch to Professional Account and follow the prompts to select a category that best describes you or your business.
- Select either Creator or Business as your account type. Either are free.
Pixo requires read-only permission to your Instagram albums. Any changes you make to your Instagram albums will be captured by Pixo so that the latest photos are available for display.
