Did you or your friend receive the error message “Cannot be invited to be a collaborator”?
An error occurs when you try to add someone as a collaborator on Instagram.
Collaborating on Instagram allows you to co-author content with other accounts.
The original author can tag another account as a contributor.
The person tagged can choose to accept or decline the request.
If the person accepts the request, the post will be visible to their followers and on their profile.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to fix the “Can’t be invited as a contributor” error on Instagram.

Why can’t I be added as a collaborator on Instagram?
You can’t be added as an Instagram contributor because you don’t have a business account.
Otherwise, your account is made private or you have prevented others from tagging you.
In addition to having a business account, you need to complete your profile.
This includes adding your name and website, following others and inviting your friends.
Once you’ve done this, you’ll need to wait 48 hours before you can collaborate with others.
In some cases, Instagram may be down—meaning you’ll need to wait for the server to go live for the collaboration feature to work.
How to fix “Not invited to be a collaborator” error on Instagram
To fix the “Can’t be invited as a collaborator” error on Instagram, you need to switch to a business account, complete your profile, and wait for 48 hours.
If your account is set to private, you need to change it to a public account.
If you’ve prevented others from tagging you, you need to allow people to tag.
Finally, you need to disable the “Manually approve cards” privacy setting.
Fix 1: Switch to a business account, complete your profile and wait for 48 hours
- Open Instagram > Profile > Menu.
- Settings > Accounts > Switch to pro account.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to switch to a business account.
- Profile > complete x 3 steps > add name and website > follow some people > invite your friends.
- Wait 48 hours and you’ll be able to collaborate with others on Instagram.
Editor’s Note: I was personally invited as a contributor after 48 hours of using this method (yes, it took a while for the feature to work). Previously, I couldn’t because I had a personal account and I hadn’t completed my profile.
Fix 2: Make your account public instead of private
- Open Instagram > Profile > Menu.
- Settings > Privacy > Personal Account.
- Disable “Private Accounts”.
Editor’s Note: You can invite collaborators to posts after making your account public. The person you want to collaborate with also needs to make their account public.
Fix 3: Allow people to tag you on Instagram
- Open Instagram > Profile > Menu.
- Settings > Privacy > Posts.
- Set “Allow tags” to “Everyone”.
- Set “Manually Approve Cards” to “Off”.
Editor’s Note: Enabling tagging and disabling “Manually Approve Tags” is required for others to collaborate with you on Instagram. The person you want to collaborate with also needs to have these settings.
