Instagram Personal Account Deprecation March 2020

By 31 March 2020, Instagram will deprecate its Legacy API Access for Personal Profiles from all third party applications. This means that third party applications like Zoho Social will no longer be able to manage Instagram personal profiles. 

Learn more about this API deprecation.

After 25th March 2020, Zoho Social will restrict users with personal profiles from any of the following features we provide for Instagram:

 1. Publishing and scheduling posts

2. Viewing Reports 

3. Brand Health & Live Stream

From 25 March 2020 onwards Zoho Social will manage only Professional Accounts(Business & Creator Accounts).  If you already have a Personal Profile connected, it will be disconnected and you will have to switch to Business, to continue using Instagram on Zoho Social. 

We recommend that all Brands switch to Business Profile to use Instagram.
