Ever since Facebook acquired Instagram, it has been easier to link both your Instagram and Facebook Accounts together and it is even easier to unlink them. I’m not going to lie, Mark Zuckerberg is insanely intuitive. Below, we will cover all the possible ways that you can link both of these social media accounts and how to remove them.
What Happens When Instagram and Facebook Are Connected?
When you connect your Instagram and Facebook accounts, you can share Instagram posts on your Facebook timeline or page. When you link your accounts, you can choose whether to automatically or manually share your posts on Facebook. You can also choose to share your Facebook posts on Instagram.
1. You Can Post To Both Platforms At The Same Time.
You can choose to have your Instagram posts automatically posted on your Facebook timeline or page, or you can manually share individual posts on Facebook.
2. You Can Use Facebook to Manage Your Instagram Account
After you link your accounts, you can manage your Instagram account through Facebook. This means you can use the Facebook Creator Studio to schedule and publish posts, view analytics, and respond to comments on Instagram.
3. Your Instagram Posts Will Be Visible To Your Facebook Friends.
Your Facebook friends will be able to see your Instagram posts in their news feed if you choose to share them on your Facebook timeline.
4. You Can Use Instagram’s Native Advertising Tools
Linking your accounts allows you to use Instagram’s native advertising tools to create and run ads on Instagram.
5. Your Accounts Will Be More Discoverable
Linking your accounts makes it easier for people to discover your Instagram account if they already follow you on Facebook.
To link your Instagram and Facebook accounts, go to your Instagram settings and select “Linked Accounts.” From there, you can link your Facebook account and choose the sharing options that work best for you.
