2025 Instagram Account Registration Guide

In Mainland China, users of Instagram can generally be divided into two categories: one consists of B2C Independent Site and B2B foreign trade website operators in the cross-border e-commerce industry; the other includes the younger generation of Gen Z. These two groups have entirely different purposes when using Instagram. For cross-border e-commerce professionals, Instagram serves as an important Internet Marketing tool. Through this platform, they can effectively promote products, attract potential customers, drive traffic to their independent sites and foreign trade websites, and expand into overseas markets. Meanwhile, Gen Z users are more driven by curiosity and interest in international social media, or by a desire to break through information barriers and access richer, more diverse global cultural content.

Although Instagram is widely popular around the world, due to information restrictions and technical barriers in Mainland China, the number of users in China remains negligible compared to other countries. Even more challenging is the fact that many people who are interested in using Instagram often encounter difficulties during the registration and network connection process. Technical restrictions imposed by telecommunications and communication service providers mean that even if users are aware of Instagram’s existence, they may be blocked from accessing the platform or receiving verification codes. Whether you aim to use Instagram to open up sales channels for your Cross-Border E-Commerce Independent Site, or are simply curious and wish to explore this globally renowned social platform for personal interest, the article titled “Instagram Account Registration Tutorial (2025 Instagram Account Registration Method, Tested and Effective)” will provide you with detailed and practical guidance. From the most basic account application steps to solutions for common registration issues, this article will help you overcome technical obstacles and successfully embark on your Instagram journey.

In this article, the blogger provides a detailed breakdown of the complete steps for registering Instagram accounts on both computer and mobile devices. Readers can choose the registration method that best suits their needs. If you prefer working on a larger screen for easier information entry and file uploads, you can follow the computer registration process. However, if you prefer registering on the go using your mobile device, simply click on the blue anchor text in the table of contents titled "How to Register Instagram on Mobile" to jump directly to the mobile registration steps.

Computer Registration for Instagram
Mobile Registration for Instagram

Ⅰ、Computer Registration for Instagram

1、Step 1: Use a computer browser to visit the Instagram homepage

To register for international social media platforms, it's best to use a tool with a global proxy mode (secure mode). Additionally, it is strongly recommended not to use domestic browsers, as they may block access. For browsers, the preferred choices are Chrome or Edge, as these browsers do not interfere with the user's access freedom. Access the domain homepage of Instagram in the browser. Since Instagram's homepage is similar to most application websites, without logging in, the homepage itself serves as the login and registration page. As shown in the image above, click the “Sign Up” anchor text below the username and password input boxes to jump to Instagram’s registration page. The registration page of Instagram is shown in the example image of the second step below.

2. Step 2: Fill in the corresponding registration information in the form on the registration interface

As shown in the image above, the form on Instagram's registration page requires four pieces of information: phone number or email, password, full name, and username. Regarding the use of a phone number or email, it is recommended to use an email rather than a phone number for registration because a phone number may not be able to receive the verification code, and it could also pose a personal risk. Additionally, it's important to note that you should avoid using domestic email services such as QQ, 163, Huawei, Aliyun to apply for overseas applications and services. The reason is that using email services provided by domestic email providers could lead to unnecessary complications, and receiving Instagram emails, especially verification codes, may be unstable. If the code isn't received successfully, it can affect the normal use of the account. For the email used for Instagram account registration, the blogger recommends using Gmail, as Gmail is widely applicable and secure for registering various applications and services on the international internet. If you haven't completed your Gmail registration yet, you can refer to the article "Google Email Registration Tutorial (2025 Latest Gmail Registration Tested and Effective)" in the Logic Digital Technology technical academy to complete your Gmail account registration. As for the three items that need to be filled out on the registration form—password, full name, and username—you can set them according to the requirements. Once all four fields in the form have been completed, click the “Register” button on the page to proceed to the next step of Instagram account registration.

3、Step 3: Enter the user's birthdate

As shown in the picture above, select your birth year/month/day in the drop-down menu of the year/month/day selection box. After the operation is completed, click the "Next" button on the interface to continue the Instagram registration process.

4、Step 4: Enter the verification code (Complete registration)

As shown in the picture above, check and copy the Instagram verification code received in the registered email, and paste it into the verification code input box. After the verification code is passed correctly, click the "Next" button again to complete the entire Instagram registration process using the computer device. At this point, the interface will jump to the homepage of the Instagram account you have applied for. The interface of the Instagram account homepage is as shown in the figure below:

Ⅱ、Mobile Registration for Instagram

1、Step 1: Download and install the Instagram app on your phone

After confirming that the proxy mode of the internet tool is effective, first install the Instagram App on your phone. For iOS systems, a non-mainland China Apple ID is required to download Instagram from the App Store. If readers see this and have not yet downloaded the Instagram app to their phones, they will need to find other ways to download Instagram for the iOS system. Android users can download and install Instagram through the Google Pay store.

2、Step 2: Create a new account on the Instagram app login page

As shown in the Instagram APP screenshot above, after running Instagram on your phone, click the "Create New Account" button (marked in a red box) at the bottom of the APP login interface to enter the Instagram account registration process.

3、Step 3: Enter the phone number or email for Instagram registration

As shown in the image above, at this step, users can choose either a phone number or an email address as the contact method for their Instagram account. You can select either one. By default, the mobile app uses a phone number to create an account, which makes sense because the app runs on mobile systems, and using a phone number for account registration is more convenient. However, there is a special circumstance here. Our network operators and phone numbers may be restricted in receiving Instagram's verification messages. Therefore, when registering for Instagram using a mobile device, it's important to follow the same security precautions and use the same registration details as with the computer registration method. It is recommended to use a Gmail address for Instagram registration. Click the "Register with Email" button to proceed to the next step, where you can fill in the email address.

4、Step 4: Enter the email address for Instagram registration

As shown in the picture above, in the current interface for entering the email address for registering Instagram, enter the email address you used to register Instagram. After the email address is filled in correctly, click the "Next" button to continue to complete the remaining steps of the registration.

5、Step 5: Enter the Instagram verification code sent to the registration email

As shown in the picture above, manually enter or copy and paste the Instagram verification code received in the registration email in the verification code input box on the current operation interface. After the operation is completed, continue to click the "Next" button to enter the next operation interface of the registration process.

6、Step 6: Create a password for your Instagram account

As shown in the image above, this is the interface for setting the login password for your Instagram account. In the password input field, enter the custom password you want. If you're unsure whether the custom password is correct, you can click the "Show password" feature on the right side of the input box to confirm. Once you've set your custom password, click the "Next" button to continue with the Instagram registration process.

The image above shows the prompt asking whether you want to save your login information. Instagram is asking if you want to save the email (which is your login account) and the password you have set, so that you won't have to enter them again the next time you use the Instagram app. If you choose to save the information, Instagram will automatically log you in. After clicking the "Save" button, the interface will automatically proceed to the next step.

8、Step 8: Enter the user's birthdate for Instagram registration

As shown in the figure above, set your date of birth in the current date of birth interface. You can select the specific numbers of year/month/day by swiping up and down on your phone. After setting, click the "Set" button in the form window to confirm and jump to the next step to continue.

9、Step 9: Enter the user's name for Instagram registration

As shown in the picture above, enter your name in the full name input box. It does not have to be your real name. You can enter the name you want. Domestic and foreign policies are different. International applications do not require real-name verification. After completion, click the "Next" button.

10、Step 10: Choose an Instagram username

By default, the system will automatically take the prefix of the email address as the Instagram account name. If you have any customized requirements, you can change it manually. If you do not have any customized requirements and keep the default account name, just click the "Next" button.

11、Step 11: Agree to Instagram's terms and policies

No action is required to agree to Instagram's terms and policies. If you are interested in the terms listed by Instagram, you can click to read them. Otherwise, click the "I Agree" button to continue the remaining setup process.

12、Step 12: Add a profile picture for your Instagram account

In the current interface for adding an Instagram profile picture, clicking "Add Photo" allows you to browse images from your phone's gallery and select the one you like as your Instagram account's profile picture. You can also use the camera feature to take a photo and instantly create your avatar. If you don't want to spend time adding a profile picture here and wish to complete the registration process faster, you can click the "Skip" button and add the profile picture later when you start using Instagram. After choosing or taking a photo with the camera to set the avatar, click the "Next" button to continue.

13、Step 13: Choose whether to allow Instagram to access contact information and add friends from your contacts

The picture above shows the permission settings for Instagram App to access your phone's address book and add friends through the address book. The function of Instagram App to add friends through the address book requires permission to access your phone's address book. After clicking the "Continue" button, you can choose to agree to its access to your phone's address book or skip this step directly.

14、Step 14: Decide whether to recommend your Instagram account to Facebook friends or groups

This step involves Instagram's system asking whether you want to send friend requests to your Facebook friends or groups. You can choose to "Continue" to set up this feature or simply "Skip" it. Clicking the "Skip" button will directly move to the next step, bypassing the friend recommendation settings to Facebook friends or groups. If you wish to recommend adding your newly created Instagram account as a friend to your Facebook friends or groups, click the "Continue" button. After clicking "Continue," you will be redirected to the screen shown below, where you can use the system-generated friend recommendation phrase. You can select to post the recommendation to either Facebook types (news feed or your groups) below. The friend request information will be posted on the corresponding Facebook types. Details on whether to make recommendations to Facebook friends or groups are shown in the image below:

15、Step 15: Decide whether to invite friends to follow your Instagram account

This is the sharing settings feature when registering Instagram on the mobile version. You can choose to click the "Share Homepage" button to continue setting up this feature, or you can choose to "Skip" this step and move on to the next part of the registration process. If you want to invite friends to follow your Instagram account, click the "Share Homepage" button. After clicking "Share Homepage," the Instagram app will display a QR code, as shown in the image below. This QR code is generated by Instagram for your account, and your friends can scan it using the Instagram app to follow your account.

16、Step 16: Instagram automatically follows 5 users upon first login

When logging into Instagram for the first time, the system automatically recommends at least 5 users for new accounts to follow, ensuring that there is content for new users to view. You can add more users from the given list or uncheck the users that were pre-selected for you. Once you have either kept the default selected users or customized your choice of users to follow, click the "Follow" button to complete the Instagram registration process. After this, the Instagram app will transition to the account's main interface, as shown in the image below.

17、Step 17: Instagram registration complete, successfully logged into the account interface

The interface shown in the image above is the main screen of the newly registered Instagram account, using all the information provided during the registration process. In the Instagram app's main interface, you can follow users recommended by the system, click on the user avatar in the top left to take and post your content, and click on the smaller user avatar in the bottom right to complete your Instagram account's profile. Instagram offers a wide range of features, which I won’t detail here, but feel free to explore and discover more on your own. Use these features to create and share creative content, enriching your Instagram account.
