First, if you have multiple YouTube accounts, you have to remember to login to each one separately. This can be a pain, especially if you have a lot of accounts. Second, managing multiple YouTube accounts can be time-consuming. You have to keep track of what videos you&apos;ve uploaded to each account and make sure that you&apos;re not duplicating content.</p><p>One way to manage multiple YouTube accounts is to use the account switcher in the top-right of the YouTube page, however, this can be problematic. This is great if you just have one or two accounts, however if you&apos;re managing YouTube for a business or brand, you want to make sure you&apos;re not browsing &amp; commenting on cat videos for your brand, and uploading a preview of your latest product to your personal account/ </p><h2 id="how-to-manage-multiple-youtube-accounts-with-wavebox">How to Manage Multiple YouTube Accounts with Wavebox</h2><p>What if I told you there was an easier way to manage multiple YouTube accounts? <a href="https://wavebox.io/download">Wavebox</a> is a desktop application that lets you easily manage multiple YouTube accounts at the same time. With Wavebox, you can quickly switch between accounts with just a few clicks.

Each one that gets added has its own entry in the sidebar, and switching between them is as simple as just clicking on the next YouTube in the sidebar. Where Wavebox really helps, is it provides a strong separation between each account. Each one has its own set of <a href="https://wavebox.io/blog/what-are-cookie-containers/">cookies and login sessions</a>, so there&apos;s zero chance of accidentally posting something to the wrong account.</p><p>Wavebox also works hard to keep you up to date with everything that is going on in YouTube, by propagating notification badges directly into the sidebar. This means, that even though you have more than one YouTube account, you can always stay up to date with what&apos;s new.</p><p>If you want to differentiate between them, you can change the name, icon and colour of each YouTube app so it&apos;s easily recognizable. You could use a company logo or a cartoon avatar of yourself for example.</p><h2 id="how-to-connect-your-youtube-channel-to-a-brand-account">How to Connect Your YouTube Channel to a Brand Account</h2><p>A Brand Account is an account that is specifically for your brand.

The app was originally launched in China in September 2016, and has since been made available in over 150 markets and 75 languages. TikTok is owned by ByteDance, a Chinese internet company founded in 2012.</p><p>As of October 2019, TikTok is the most downloaded iPhone app in the world, and has been downloaded more than 1.5 billion times globally. The app is particularly popular among Gen Z users, as it allows them to create and share content that is creative, funny, and relatable. TikTok has also become a popular platform for influencers and celebrities to connect with their fans, and many users have gained a following by posting creative and entertaining videos on the app.</p><p>TikTok offers a unique and engaging way to create content. The platform is built around short-form videos, which makes it perfect for influencers who want to share quick, bite-sized content with their followers. The platform makes it easy to find and connect with other users who share your interests, and it&apos;s a great place to collaborate and create content together. TikTok has a global reach, and it&apos;s growing in popularity all the time. By being active on TikTok, influencers can tap into a new audience of potential followers.</p><h2 id="how-tiktok-works">How TikTok Works</h2><p>TikTok is incredibly easy to use. Simply download the app and create an account. Once you&apos;re logged in, you can start browsing videos. You can like, comment, and share videos, as well as follow other users.</p><p>If you want to create your own videos, simply press the &quot;+&quot; icon in the bottom corner of the screen. You can then choose whether to record a video or upload one from your device. Once you&apos;ve recorded or uploaded your video, you can edit it with the built-in editing tools. You can also add effects, music, and other content to make your video more interesting. Once you&apos;re happy with your video, simply press the &quot;Publish&quot; button and share it with your followers.</p><p>TikTok, a relatively new social media platform with a focus on short video content, has quickly emerged as a powerful marketing tool for businesses of all types. The platform is highly visual, which makes it perfect for showcasing products and services. TikTok videos are also short and to the point, which makes them easy for customers to consume and share. Perhaps most importantly, TikTok is incredibly popular with young people, who are often the most active social media users and the most likely to engage with brands. According to a recent report, TikTok is the most downloaded app in the world, and it is particularly popular with Gen Z users. This popularity presents a huge opportunity for businesses to reach a wide audience of potential customers. However, it is important to note that TikTok marketing requires a different approach than other social media platforms. In order to be successful on TikTok, businesses need to create content that is creative, fun, and engaging.</p><h2 id="why-have-multiple-tiktok-accounts">Why Have Multiple TikTok Accounts?</h2><p><br>There are a few reasons why having multiple TikTok accounts can be useful. For one, if you have more than one account, you can target different audiences with each one (.e.g personal &amp; business). Another reason why having multiple TikTok accounts can be useful is that you can use them to test out different content strategies. This way, you can see what works and what doesn&apos;t work without jeopardizing your main account. Lastly, having multiple TikTok accounts can also be a good way to build up your following, this is because you can cross-promote your accounts and get more exposure for your content.</p><p>TikTok allows you to have up to three accounts on one device, and as per the app&apos;s Community Guidelines you should not &quot;Operate multiple TikTok accounts under false or fraudulent pretenses to distribute commercial spam&quot;. If you are creating multiple accounts, you should bare this in mind.</p><h2 id="ways-to-manage-multiple-tiktok-accounts">Ways to Manage Multiple TikTok Accounts</h2><p>If you find yourself needing to manage more than one TikTok account, here&apos;s how you can setup your second account...</p><ol><li>Open the TikTok app on your phone or tablet</li><li>Click the <strong>Profile</strong> button in the bottom-right of the screen</li><li>Tap your <strong>username</strong> at the top of the screen and select <strong>Add account</strong></li><li>Follow the on-screen steps to sign up</li></ol><p>If you&apos;re only working between one or two accounts, then this works fine, however if you need to manage more TikTok accounts, a third-party tool like Wavebox can be really helpful</p><h2 id="how-to-manage-multiple-tiktok-accounts-using-wavebox">How to Manage Multiple TikTok Accounts Using Wavebox</h2><p>What if I told you there was an easier way to manage multiple TikTok accounts? <a href="https://wavebox.io/download">Wavebox</a> is a desktop application that lets you easily manage multiple TikTok accounts at the same time.

You can connect with millions of other Snapchatters and send messages and snaps from wherever you are.

Perhaps the most significant advantage is that businesses can manage multiple Snapchat accounts and take advantage of the larger screen size to create more engaging and visually appealing content.</p><p>So, which should you use - Snapchat on your mobile device or desktop? It really depends on your individual needs and preferences. If you want to be able to create content quickly and easily, then using Snapchat on your mobile device is probably the best option for you.

But which one is the best? Slack and Discord are two of the most popular communication tools for businesses and remote teams, both offer a variety of features that can be beneficial for businesses, but they also have some key differences. Here&apos;s a look at Slack vs Discord to help you decide which is the best fit for your business.</p><p>Slack is a communication tool that allows businesses to create channels for different topics, departments, or projects. Users can send direct messages or @mention other users to start a conversation. Slack also integrates with a variety of other business tools, which can be helpful for businesses that use multiple software programs.</p><p>Discord is a communication tool that is primarily used by gamers. However, Discord can also be used for businesses. Discord offers features such as voice and video calls, text chats, and file sharing. Discord also has a variety of bots that can be used to automate tasks, such as scheduling meeting reminders or sending out notifications.</p><p>So, which is the best communication tool for businesses? Slack or Discord? Both Slack and Discord have their pros and cons, so it really depends on the needs of your business...</p><h3 id="slack-vs-discord-chat">Slack vs Discord: Chat</h3><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://wavebox.io/knowhow/content/images/2022/06/Slack-Client-Mac.en-GB-2x.png" class="kg-image" alt="Slack vs Discord" loading="lazy" width="2000" height="1476" srcset="https://wavebox.io/knowhow/content/images/size/w600/2022/06/Slack-Client-Mac.en-GB-2x.png 600w, https://wavebox.io/knowhow/content/images/size/w1000/2022/06/Slack-Client-Mac.en-GB-2x.png 1000w, https://wavebox.io/knowhow/content/images/size/w1600/2022/06/Slack-Client-Mac.en-GB-2x.png 1600w, https://wavebox.io/knowhow/content/images/2022/06/Slack-Client-Mac.en-GB-2x.png 2288w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><p>Text chat seems simple enough, it&apos;s something we&apos;ve been doing since the internet started, but across a large team with lots of users it&apos;s easy to lose yourself or lose some of those important conversations. Slack seems a bit more focused on keeping things organised and has a few extra features over Discord, yet saying that Discord has been catching up recently!</p><ul><li>Slack lets you privately create posts and conversations for future reference (just DM yourself!), Discord doesn&apos;t support this</li><li>Slack allows you to create <a href="https://slack.com/intl/en-gb/help/articles/360043207674-Organise-your-sidebar-with-customised-sections">sidebar sections</a>, so you can organize all your channels into the things that are most relevant to you, something that Discord is missing</li><li>Slack offers a <a href="https://slack.com/intl/en-gb/help/articles/205240127-Use-mentions-in-Slack#:~:text=View%20your%20mentions,-When%20someone%20mentions&amp;text=You%20can%20also%20view%20all,bottom%20of%20the%20Slack%20app.">Mentions &amp; Reactions</a> view so you can find where you&apos;ve been mentioned and pick up where you were last</li></ul><p>There are lots of other little things that make Slack stand out a little bit more than Discord, things as the file size limit for sharing files, Slack is much more generous with this. Slack really is focused on business use and helping you keep your day-to-day organized, whereas Discord seems less focused on this. That said, Discord is still really great, it just feels like Slack has some better tooling around this.</p><h3 id="slack-vs-discord-audio-video">Slack vs Discord: Audio &amp; Video</h3><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://wavebox.io/knowhow/content/images/2022/06/Chat-dark.png" class="kg-image" alt="Slack vs Discord" loading="lazy" width="2000" height="1422" srcset="https://wavebox.io/knowhow/content/images/size/w600/2022/06/Chat-dark.png 600w, https://wavebox.io/knowhow/content/images/size/w1000/2022/06/Chat-dark.png 1000w, https://wavebox.io/knowhow/content/images/size/w1600/2022/06/Chat-dark.png 1600w, https://wavebox.io/knowhow/content/images/size/w2400/2022/06/Chat-dark.png 2400w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><p>Discord really excels on the Audio &amp; Video front, after all, Discord was originally designed for gamers chatting whilst they play games. Both Slack &amp; Discord offer your traditional phone calls and screen sharing, but Discord has a lot more tooling around being able to adjust each person&apos;s volume and the sound quality seems just that much better.</p><p> With Discord, users can drop into a room and start chatting, it&apos;s less like a formal call and more just like a place where a conversation is happening. Slack has recently added a new feature called <a href="https://slack.com/intl/en-gb/help/articles/4402059015315-Use-huddles-in-Slack">Huddles</a>, which is similar and helps you work side-by-side with your team.</p><h3 id="slack-vs-discord-integrations">Slack vs Discord: Integrations</h3><p>Slack offers thousands of <a href="https://locly.slack.com/intl/en-gb/apps">integrations</a>, mostly focused on business applications, things such as Twitter, Google Drive &amp; Zoom. On the other hand, Discord has <a href="https://top.gg/">bots built by third parties</a>, which tend to have less of a business focus and more of a focus on Gaming. If you&apos;re serious about getting some work done, then maybe Slack is the best for its integrations!</p><h3 id="slack-vs-discord-pricing">Slack vs Discord: Pricing</h3><p>Both Discord and Slack offer free and paid tiers. Discord is more focused on communities whereas Slack is more focused on organizations.</p><p>Running a Discord server is free and gives the vast majority of features. Users can pay for <a href="https://discord.com/nitro">Nitro</a> giving more chat features, bigger file uploads and better video quality, but for the most part, Discord remains fully featured on the free tier.</p><p>Slack on the other hand is much different. The free version is quite limiting, with only the 10,000 most recent messages only being stored and key features such as screen sharing being unavailable. It&apos;s only possible to upgrade an entire Slack team (rather than individual users), so it&apos;s definitely something that a business would be looking to do, rather than an individual.</p><h2 id="slack-vs-discord-the-verdict">Slack vs Discord: The verdict</h2><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card kg-card-hascaption"><img src="https://wavebox.io/knowhow/content/images/2022/06/Screenshot-2022-06-02-at-13.45.15.png" class="kg-image" alt="Slack vs Discord" loading="lazy" width="2000" height="1497" srcset="https://wavebox.io/knowhow/content/images/size/w600/2022/06/Screenshot-2022-06-02-at-13.45.15.png 600w, https://wavebox.io/knowhow/content/images/size/w1000/2022/06/Screenshot-2022-06-02-at-13.45.15.png 1000w, https://wavebox.io/knowhow/content/images/size/w1600/2022/06/Screenshot-2022-06-02-at-13.45.15.png 1600w, https://wavebox.io/knowhow/content/images/2022/06/Screenshot-2022-06-02-at-13.45.15.png 2154w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"><figcaption>Slack &amp; Discord side-by-side in Wavebox</figcaption></figure><p>If you&apos;re a small team, small business or community then Discord is well worth considering.

Though we have become accustomed to this level of marketing, it can be easy to forget that we have the power to control what we see. By using an ad blocker, we can take back control of our browsing experience and eliminate distractions.</p><p>There are a number of reasons why using an ad blocker is a good thing. For one, it can improve your browsing speed by blocking unwanted ads and pop-ups. It can also protect you from malware and phishing attempts that are often hidden in ads.

One of the things I&apos;ve been using more and more lately is Asana, a project management tool that helps you keep track of everything you&apos;re working on. I&apos;ve found it to be incredibly helpful in keeping me organised and on track, but one of the downsides is that it can be a bit of a pain to switch between multiple accounts.</p><p>In this blog post, I&apos;m going to share some tips on how to make switching between Asana accounts more efficient.</p><h2 id="how-to-merge-your-asana-accounts">How to merge your Asana accounts</h2><p>The first method is to merge multiple accounts using Asana. This will allow you to switch between them, however it does have a downside. Email addresses from both original accounts will be associated with the one new account. If you&apos;re using one Asana for your home projects and another for work, or maybe a third for a specific client, breaking this separation between your Asana accounts can make things a little confusing and complicated. For example, you need to keep checking that you&apos;re creating tasks and updating the correct Asana - otherwise you could end up adding Eggs to a shopping list shared by your entire company! Whoops!</p><p>If this isn&apos;t so much of a problem for you, here&apos;s how you can merge your Asana accounts...</p><ol><li>Click your profile photo and select <strong><strong>My Settings</strong></strong></li><li>Navigate to <strong><strong>Email Forwarding</strong></strong></li><li>Click into <strong><strong>+ Add New Email</strong></strong></li><li>Enter your <strong><strong>New Email Address</strong></strong></li><li>Enter your <strong><strong>Asana Password</strong></strong></li><li>Click the <strong><strong>Send Verification Email</strong></strong> button</li></ol><p>Asana will then ask you to find a link in your secondary email inbox to confirm the merge.</p><p>Once the merge is complete, you can log into your account using any email address associated with your account. You will not be able to spread your account after the completion of the merge.</p><h2 id="using-your-browser-to-manage-multiple-asana-sessions">Using your browser to manage multiple Asana sessions</h2><p>Using browser profiles is another way to manage multiple Asana accounts. A browser profile is simply a collection of settings and preferences that is specific to a particular user. So, if you have multiple Asana accounts that you need to access on a regular basis, you can create a different browser profile for each one. That way, you can easily switch between them without having to log out and log back in each time.</p><p>Creating a browser profile is easy and only takes a few minutes. Here&apos;s how to do it in Google Chrome:</p><ol><li>Open Chrome.</li><li>At the top right of the toolbar, click the Profile button</li><li>Click <strong>Add</strong>.</li><li>Give your profile a name (e.g. &quot;Home Asana&quot; or &quot;Work Asana&quot;)</li><li>Choose a photo and colour scheme.</li></ol><p>This gives you a way to access multiple Asana accounts, whilst keeping them separate. However, it comes with a downside. If you&apos;re managing lots of different accounts, you might end up with lots of different profiles, each in its own window. You might find that you&apos;re not signed into some other sites when clicking links in Asana and so forth. It&apos;s all a bit of a mess...</p><h2 id="using-wavebox-to-manage-multiple-asana-sessions">Using Wavebox to manage multiple Asana sessions</h2><p>This is where Wavebox comes in. <a href="https://wavebox.io/download">Wavebox</a> allows you to add an Asana app into the sidebar and sign in. This gives Asana a permanent home so you can always locate it right away. What&apos;s more, when you add a second Asana, Wavebox has a unique feature called <a href="https://wavebox.io/kb/what-are-profiles-and-how-do-i-create-one-in-wavebox-sandboxing/">Cookie Containers</a>, it essentially allows each Asana app that&apos;s added to live completely separately from the rest.</p><p>This gives you quick access to each of your Asana apps, without needing to sign in and out, but more importantly keeps each Asana app entirely separate from the others, meaning there&apos;s no chance you accidentally add your entire shopping list to your work Asana or put that really important task in your home Asana. Wavebox helps you keep Asana neat and tidy and helps you be more productive.</p><p>To add your Asana to Wavebox...</p><ol><li>Click the add button in the sidebar</li><li>Pick <strong>Start with an app</strong> and search the store for Asana</li><li>Follow the on-screen wizard and sign in</li></ol><p>... to add more Asana accounts, simply repeat the steps again.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://wavebox.io/knowhow/content/images/2022/06/Screenshot-2022-06-01-at-19.34.19.png" class="kg-image" alt="How to login to multiple Asana accounts" loading="lazy" width="2000" height="1358" srcset="https://wavebox.io/knowhow/content/images/size/w600/2022/06/Screenshot-2022-06-01-at-19.34.19.png 600w, https://wavebox.io/knowhow/content/images/size/w1000/2022/06/Screenshot-2022-06-01-at-19.34.19.png 1000w, https://wavebox.io/knowhow/content/images/size/w1600/2022/06/Screenshot-2022-06-01-at-19.34.19.png 1600w, https://wavebox.io/knowhow/content/images/size/w2400/2022/06/Screenshot-2022-06-01-at-19.34.19.png 2400w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><h2 id="powering-your-asana-productivity-with-wavebox">Powering your Asana productivity with Wavebox</h2><p><br>Once you&apos;ve added your Asana accounts to <a href="https://wavebox.io/download">Wavebox</a>, there are a few ace tips to really improve your productivity</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://wavebox.io/knowhow/content/images/2022/06/Screenshot-2022-06-01-at-19.35.03-1.png" class="kg-image" alt="How to login to multiple Asana accounts" loading="lazy" width="2000" height="1536" srcset="https://wavebox.io/knowhow/content/images/size/w600/2022/06/Screenshot-2022-06-01-at-19.35.03-1.png 600w, https://wavebox.io/knowhow/content/images/size/w1000/2022/06/Screenshot-2022-06-01-at-19.35.03-1.png 1000w, https://wavebox.io/knowhow/content/images/size/w1600/2022/06/Screenshot-2022-06-01-at-19.35.03-1.png 1600w, https://wavebox.io/knowhow/content/images/2022/06/Screenshot-2022-06-01-at-19.35.03-1.png 2208w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><ol><li>Watch out for the unread badges.

Your contacts are likely spread out across all your email accounts. consolidating them into one place would be a huge challenge.

With over 1 billion monthly active users, it&apos;s no wonder that everyone from celebrities to businesses are using the platform to connect with their fans and followers.</p><p>If you&apos;re like me, you probably spend a good chunk of your day scrolling through Instagram or maybe you&apos;re in charge of a company&apos;s Instagram account. Sometimes you might find yourself wishing you could do that on your desktop instead of your phone. Well, good news! There are a few different ways to get an Instagram app for your desktop.</p><p>One way is to use the Instagram website. Instagram recently added the ability to post from the website which is great, but the web version is still missing that desktop app feeling. If you&apos;re looking for the most official way to get an Instagram app for your desktop, you can use the official Instagram app for Windows, but if you&apos;re looking for an Instagram app for Mac, you&apos;re stuck with just using the website.</p><p>Another way to get an Instagram app for your desktop is to use a third-party app, some of which offer extra features over and above the web experience. Read on to find out more...</p><h2 id="why-install-instagram-on-your-desktop">Why install Instagram on your desktop</h2><p>Using Instagram on your mobile device is more convenient than using it on your desktop. You can take and upload photos and videos from your mobile device wherever you are. This is especially useful for sharing photos and videos of events or experiences as they happen. Additionally, most people are more likely to have their mobile devices with them than their desktop computers.</p><p>However, there are a number of advantages for businesses who use Instagram on a desktop device vs a mobile device. Perhaps the most significant advantage is that businesses can take advantage of the larger screen size to create more engaging and visually appealing content.</p><p>So, which should you use - Instagram on your mobile device or desktop? It really depends on your individual needs and preferences. If you want to be able to share photos and videos quickly and easily, then using Instagram on your mobile device is probably the best option for you. If you want to be able to see everything in your feed in one place and spend more time managing your Instagram account, then using Instagram on your desktop is a better option.</p><p>Overall, using Instagram on a desktop device can be a great way for businesses to improve their content strategy and reach a wider audience.</p><h2 id="the-problem-with-the-instagram-desktop-app">The problem with the Instagram desktop app</h2><p><br>If you&apos;re a Mac user, you might be wondering why you can&apos;t access Instagram on your computer desktop like you can with other social media sites. Unfortunately, the Instagram desktop app is only available for Windows users, which can be a major pain for Mac users who want to stay up-to-date on their feed while they&apos;re working on their computer.</p><p>There are a few different ways that Mac users can work around this issue. The first option is to use the web version of Instagram, which can be accessed through any web browser. The problem with this approach is that the Instagram tab you&apos;ve been using all day can be easily lost amongst all your other tabs. It&apos;s also not possible to see quickly what&apos;s new without digging out your Instagram tab and taking a good look.</p><p>The good news is there are some desktop apps that make managing your Instagram profile, or profiles, much easier. One such app is <a href="https://wavebox.io/download">Wavebox</a>.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://wavebox.io/knowhow/content/images/2022/05/Screenshot-2022-05-24-at-11.59.38.png" class="kg-image" alt="How to get an Instagram app for desktop (Mac or PC)" loading="lazy" width="2000" height="1161" srcset="https://wavebox.io/knowhow/content/images/size/w600/2022/05/Screenshot-2022-05-24-at-11.59.38.png 600w, https://wavebox.io/knowhow/content/images/size/w1000/2022/05/Screenshot-2022-05-24-at-11.59.38.png 1000w, https://wavebox.io/knowhow/content/images/size/w1600/2022/05/Screenshot-2022-05-24-at-11.59.38.png 1600w, https://wavebox.io/knowhow/content/images/size/w2400/2022/05/Screenshot-2022-05-24-at-11.59.38.png 2400w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><h2 id="how-to-get-instagram-on-your-pc">How to get Instagram on your PC</h2><p>The first and most obvious way is to simply go to Instagram.com in your web browser. You can view your feed, like and comment on photos, and even post new photos directly from the website. You can even add it to your bookmarks bar, or create a desktop shortcut to quickly get back to Instagram.</p><p>Another option is to download the official Instagram app for Windows 10 from the Microsoft Store. Once you&apos;ve installed the app, you can log in with your Instagram account and access all of the features you&apos;re used to, like messaging, posting photos, and viewing Stories.</p><p>But if you&apos;re a power user who wants even more control, or maybe wants to manage multiple accounts, both of these approaches present one problem. Switching between accounts is cumbersome. This is where a desktop app like <a href="https://wavebox.io/download">Wavebox</a> is really powerful. When you add Instagram, it gets its own entry in the Wavebox sidebar. This entry has its own icon and own sandbox, meaning when you come to add a second Instagram account it&apos;s completely separate. This makes switching backwards and forwards as simple as clicking on the icon in the sidebar.</p><p>If you&apos;re managing multiple accounts, say, for home and for your brand, Wavebox makes it much easier to manage. You can quickly upload content to each account with ease and switch backwards and forwards whenever you need to!</p><h2 id="how-to-get-instagram-on-your-mac">How to get Instagram on your Mac</h2><p>There isn&apos;t an official Instagram app for Mac, but luckily <a href="https://wavebox.io/download">Wavebox</a> supports MacOS, so you can download Wavebox and add Instagram. Being able to add multiple Instagram accounts into Wavebox and being able to switch between them quickly is the best solution on MacOS.</p><p>You can also use the web version in your browser, but you&apos;re more limited in terms of quickly accessing Instagram and changing accounts with ease. You can use a bookmark, which is arguably the easiest solution, or if you&apos;re using Google Chrome, you could add Instagram to the Chrome Apps folder. To do this...</p><ol><li>Visit https://instagram.com in Chrome</li><li>Use the three-dot menu in the top-right of the toolbar and locate <strong>more tools</strong> &gt; <strong>create shortcut</strong></li><li>Your new shortcut will save into your Chrome Apps folder, where you can double click to launch.</li></ol><p>Finally, and arguably more technically, you can install an Android emulator on your Mac, so that you can use the Instagram Android app, just like you were on your phone. This is a solution but is quite technical, the best option is to use the <a href="https://wavebox.io/download">Wavebox desktop app</a> and add Instagram.</p><h2 id="how-to-get-instagram-on-for-your-linux-distribution">How to get Instagram on for your Linux distribution</h2><p>Just like with macOS, there is no official Instagram app for Linux, but <a href="https://wavebox.io/download">Wavebox</a> supports the most recent versions of Linux. Depending on your Linux distribution, you can use the DEB, RPM &amp; AUR repositories as well as the AppImage version and a plain TAR.</p><h2 id="managing-instagram-notifications-on-desktop">Managing Instagram notifications on desktop</h2><p>If you&apos;re using Instagram in the browser, you&apos;ll get notified about new notifications. You&apos;ll need to grant permission for Instagram to do this first. Normally there&apos;s a popup that appears, but if you&apos;ve denied the permission in the past, you&apos;ll need to head into settings to change the permission for Instagram. To do this in Chrome for example</p><ol><li>Open Chrome and use the three-dot menu to launch <strong>settings</strong></li><li>Find <strong>Privacy &amp; Security</strong> &gt; <strong>Site Settings</strong> &gt; <strong>Notifications</strong></li><li>Next to &quot;Allowed to send notifications&quot; click <strong>Add</strong></li><li>Enter https://instagram.com and finally <strong>Add</strong></li></ol><p>Although the desktop notifications are great, <a href="https://wavebox.io/download">Wavebox</a> offers more customization and options when it comes to finding out what&apos;s new...</p><ul><li>Badges: The little red dot next to the Instagram app, shows you how many new notifications and what&apos;s new for each Instagram account</li><li>Desktop notifications: Similar to how they appear from the browser, these give you an instant alert that there&apos;s some kind of activity on Instagram</li><li><a href="https://kb.wavebox.io/how-do-i-change-desktop-notification-sounds-volume/">Notification sounds</a>: In Wavebox, you can choose from one of the pre-set sounds, or pick your own. You can even change the sound for each Instagram account, so without even looking at the screen, you know where the notification has come from</li><li><a href="https://blog.wavebox.io/wavebox_mini_menu/">Wavebox mini</a>: This gives you an overview of all the notifications, and everything that&apos;s unread in all your Instagram accounts, ideal for quickly catching up with what&apos;s new after lunch!</li></ul><h2 id="manage-your-desktop-instagram-account-with-ease">Manage your desktop Instagram account with ease</h2><p>If you&apos;re managing one or more Instagram accounts and want to unleash the power of Instagram on the desktop, then <a href="https://wavebox.io/download">Wavebox</a> is the best app to do that. What&apos;s more, you can add all your other social media apps into Wavebox, <a href="https://wavebox.io/appinfo/twitter.html">Twitter</a>, <a href="https://wavebox.io/appinfo/facebook.html">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://wavebox.io/appinfo/whatsapp.html">WhatsApp</a> and more, turning your Wavebox window into an influencer, or social media manager&apos;s dream!</p><!--kg-card-begin: markdown--><p><a href="https://wavebox.io/"><img src="https://blog.wavebox.io/content/images/2022/04/wavebox-pro-getstarted-1-1.png" alt="How to get an Instagram app for desktop (Mac or PC)" loading="lazy"></a></p>
