Regarding Instagram, you can’t know everything you need to know at once because as the platform upgrades, new features are put in place.
Coming across these features in the process of using the platform can get you worried about what it is, if it’s a warning, if you’re the only one seeing it, if you press something by mistake and the likes.
One of many of these features/notifications you may see is the +9 next to your profile picture.
This notification can mean anything and what it means is what I will discuss with you in this post.
This is the last post you will need to read concerning the +9 notification on your profile.
In this post, I will explain briefly what the +9next to your profile means, how to stop this notification from showing on your Instagram account and finally, the best measure you can use to stop seeing this notification on your profile.
What is the meaning of 9+ on your Instagram profile?
9+ is a notification on your profile reminding you that you have a notification on your other Instagram account, which you have logged in to on your device.
Most Instagram users have more than one account.
They run on the same device. Sometimes a business and a person account is running on the same device.
So when you’re too engrossed with your business account attending to clients,
your personal account might have had so many notifications which you are too busy to attend to instantly and you might not even know you have so many messages already.
To make you aware of the notifications in your other Instagram account, Instagram sends you the +9 notification after your profile in your active account.
This brings to your attention that you have notifications on your other account that needs to be attended to.
How to solve this 9+ from showing to you
Since your knowledge of the +9 notification has been enlarged.
Viewing the notifications on your other account is the best way to solve this icon glaring at your face.
The +9 notification is a reminder notification.
Since you are being reminded of the notifications on your other account, you should log in to your other account and check the notifications.
Reply to some, comment, share and like.
If you have created two accounts on your Instagram with one device, you should create time to engage in the two accounts.
One doesn’t have to suffer for the other.
The best measure to not see this symbol in your Instagram anymore
1. Always log in to your other account and check notifications
The best way to avoid the +9 notification is to make sure you regularly engage on both accounts to avoid piling up the notifications on the other account.
This way, Instagram doesn’t have to constantly remind you of the other account’s notifications constantly. So log in and do the needful.
2. Turn off notifications on your other account
This is another perfect way to avoid the +9 notification.
When the notifications on your other account are offed, Instagram won’t be able to send you a reminder.
To turn off the notifications;
- Login to the other account.
- Tap your profile picture in the bottom right to go to your profile.
- Click in the top right, then tap Settings.
- Tap Notifications.
- Click next to Pause all and select a time. You can also tap a type of notification (e.g. posts, stories and comments) below.
- Pause all to turn off those notifications.
3. Log out of your other account
You should log out of your other account and use the most suitable account of your choice.
This way, you won’t get the +9 notification anymore, and you can focus on one for better growth.
To log out of your other account.
- Log in first to access the account. Then;
- Tap your profile picture in the bottom right to go to your profile.
- Click in the top right, then tap Settings.
- Scroll to the bottom of the page and
- Tap Log out.
