I think neither Facebook nor Instagram will let you create an account that isn’t tied to a phone. They don’t quite give a clear explanation of this.
If I was trying to create a social media site in 2025 I’d be trying to grease the skids to make it as easy to sign up as possible, but Facebook has the problem that it probably has more people trying to create smurph accounts than trying to sign up for the first time.
