I am glad to welcome you to my blog!
In today's article I will tell you... Why should this be done, and what advantages does such a combination provide?
Let's take a closer look. Naturally, the owner of these accounts must be one user.
What does the combination of Facebook and Instagram give?
Linking these two networks to each other will allow cross-posting. That is, when you post a post on one social network, it will automatically be published on another.
Agree that this is very convenient. There is no need to log into your accounts every time and duplicate posts. Everything will be done automatically; just select the desired network for duplicating posts in the settings.
But besides the convenience of posting information, you can get several more advantages. They are not as obvious as cross-posting.
- Automatic addition to your friends list. At the same time, you receive a notification if one of your Facebook friends has registered on Instagram.
- You can automatically add them to your contact list. And in the same way, you can expand your circle of friends on Facebook if one of your followers on Instagram is registered there.
- Single sign-on for two social networks. You will be able to log into your Instagram account through your Facebook login. But this does not mean that independent passwords for logging into these social networks can be forgotten. They can be used independently of each other.
If you forget the password for an account, the connection between these networks will help you quickly restore access and avoid losing all information.
If you do not yet have an account on one of these social networks, then register and create your profile. You don’t need to fill everything out yet, it will come with time. Now let’s look in detail at how to make a connection between them.

If you plan to make a profit from your Instagram page, you will probably have a question about how to link your Instagram account to Facebook. This is a very simple thing that brings a lot of benefits. But before you do this, I advise you to register on FB. I could add this point to the instructions, but, you see, it would be stupid, because it is too obvious. Well, let's get started.
Why link Instagram to Facebook?
You can ask a reasonable question: “Why should I link my Instagram to Facebook?” Moreover, you will ask it if you don’t use Facebook at all. In fact, this connection provides many advantages and useful features:
Step-by-step instruction
Linking your profile to FB is very easy. This will take you a little time, unless, of course, you already have a registered page.
How many Instagram accounts can be linked to Facebook?
Let's imagine a situation: you have several profiles on Insta, and all of them required linking to FB. And you wonder: how many profiles can you connect? The answer is simple and concise, but if I write a paragraph the length of an SMS, the client is unlikely to accept the article. Therefore, only now I will write: you can connect only one Instagram account to one Facebook profile. That is why sometimes it happens that when we try to link Insta to FB, a notification pops up that the vacant position is already taken. I will write more about this in the last paragraph about possible errors when linking a profile.
How to unlink a Facebook account from Instagram?
A common request in search engines is: “This Instagram account is already linked to a Facebook page, how can I unlink it?” When I took screenshots for this article, I unlinked the profile, but not completely. I will reach the finish line now to show you what algorithm you need to follow. Let's begin.
How to change a linked Facebook account to Instagram?
It happens that you need to transfer a page from one Facebook to another. The reason may be a newly purchased profile or a new Facebook page. It doesn’t matter at all, the algorithm will be the same:
- Let's switch to a business account.
- Click on “Edit Profile”.
- Scroll to “Page”. It's in the "Company Information" section.
- We select the page to which we want to transfer Insta.
Or we unlink the page completely from one Facebook and link it to another. This is how easy it is for us to change the page your Instagram is linked to.
Why can't I link/unlink my account?
Conclusion
So, if you asked the question “How to link an Instagram account to Facebook?”, you most likely have Napoleonic plans for this social network. But in principle, the tools that are available in this “mode” will be convenient for the average social network user. This is really interesting - how many people looked at the publication, how many people visit the page, and so on. This is a great way to boost your ego if your performance is high. And if the numbers don’t please you, you can simply turn off your business profile and hope that after that, interest in you will magically increase many times over. But let's return to the key question. Linking pages is very simple - all you need to do is make a couple of clicks in the Instagram page settings. With unlinking, everything is somewhat more complicated, but also quite simple - you just need to disable Instagram in the Facebook page settings.
