How do i link my instagram to facebook

In this article, we give a detailed instruction on how to link your Instagram and Facebook pages through the app or a computer. When you connect them, you can add posts on them simultaneously. Moreover, users will get notifications that some of their friends have just joined one of these social networks.

Instagram has a feature that allows you to connect your Instagram page to Facebook. But what for? Let's try to figure it out.

Linking Instagram and Facebook accounts have several benefits:

• Creating location on Instagram. If you wish to create your own geotag, firstly, you have to sync Instagram and Facebook pages.
• Content duplication: from the linked Instagram to Facebook accounts and vice versa.
• Promotion of an Instagram profile. Users can create ads with Ads Manager on Facebook if the accounts are connected. Read about how to promote your Instagram account in our article.
• Password recovery for synced Instagram and Facebook profiles.

Let's move on to the practical part of the article. You can link your Instagram to a Facebook page in the app. 

1. Open Instagram and tap the three lines in the top right. 
2. Go to Settings.
   
3. Find Accounts Centre. 
4. Set it up.
5. Tap Finish Setup.

If the Facebook app isn't installed on the phone, the browser version will open. Enter your username and password from your Facebook account and tap sign in to complete the connection.

You can also sync your accounts starting from the other platform. Go to the Facebook Business Suit to link your Instagram page. You can do this both from the phone or a computer browser. Follow the steps:

1. You need a Business profile on Facebook to link your Instagram to it. Create a new page or use an existing one and tap Business Suite.

03. Hit Instagram Connection.

04. Tap Connect Instagram.

Now we will connect an Instagram business page to Facebook. For instance, you may need this to create a location on Instagram.

Actually, all you need is to switch your Instagram account type and then link it to your Facebook page.

Pay attention! You need a Creator or Business account to connect it to Facebook. This feature isn't available on the personal profile.

1. Open the Instagram app on your smartphone and tap Edit Profile. 
2. Switch to Professional account.
3. Follow all the steps.

If the Facebook page was blocked, or you decided to change the account, so, just unlink the previous account from Instagram. There are two ways to do this.

1. Open the app on your smartphone and go to Settings. 
2. Go to Account and tap Linked Accounts. 
3. Select Facebook. 
4. Hit Unlink Account.

1. Go to the settings of the Facebook business page. 
2. Tap the Instagram section. 
3. At the bottom of the page there is a Disable Instagram account option. 
4. Click Unlink.

Sometimes users face a problem: an Instagram account won't link to Facebook. What should you do in this situation?

We offer 3 solutions to the problem:

• Once again, check whether you are entering the username and password from the accounts correctly during the synchronization.
• Restart your smartphone and try to sync your Instagram and Facebook accounts again. Look in the Instagram settings, you may have already linked another account.
• The list of social networks shows which profile you've already connected to.

Usually, people link Instagram to Facebook when they wish to promote their accounts, get more followers, increase sales, etc. So we recommend using one of the link in bio tools.

You can create an amazing link in bio page with such tools. Place all the crucial information about you or your business on it so that clients can easily find it: location, working hours, links to other social networks and messengers.

Plus, linking your accounts may send a notification to your Facebook friends to the effect that you're now on Instagram. That makes it easier to gain followers from that network without having to send out a "follow-me" message.

How to link Facebook to Instagram

This is a quick and easy process, just make sure you have your Facebook login information on hand.

1. Open Instagram and toggle over to your account profile (located in the bottom toolbar).

2. Tap the three bars and select "Settings."

3. Tap "Account" and then select "Linked Accounts."

4. Tap "Facebook" and log into your Facebook account to confirm that you want to link your Facebook account to Instagram.

Before sharing any posts, be aware that if you have a private Instagram, anything you share to other social networks, like Facebook, will become public. 

If you want to unlink your Facebook account from your Instagram, you'd go through the same general process. The only difference would come at the final step — instead of logging into Facebook, you'd tap "Unlink Account" (for iPhone) or "Unlink" (for Android.)
