Overview

If you want features like direct publishing and connected account management, your Instagram account must be linked to a Facebook Page. Meta routes key permissions through Facebook, which is why tools that publish to Instagram typically require this connection.

Good to know: You do not have to post on the Facebook Page. The link is mainly for permissions and account control—not duplicate posting.

Before You Begin

Your Instagram account must be a Business or Creator profile (personal profiles won’t connect).
You must have the correct permissions for the Facebook Page you’re linking to (Admin/Editor or equivalent Page access).
Log into the Facebook account that has Page access to the Page you want to connect.

Tip: If you manage multiple Pages, confirm you’re working on the correct Page before you start linking accounts.
