    You'll see this at the bottom of the menu under the "Meta" header.
  6. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/3\/39\/Connect-Instagram-to-Facebook-Step-6-Version-6.jpg\/v4-460px-Connect-Instagram-to-Facebook-Step-6-Version-6.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/3\/39\/Connect-Instagram-to-Facebook-Step-6-Version-6.jpg\/v4-728px-Connect-Instagram-to-Facebook-Step-6-Version-6.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    This is usually the first option on the page. If you see a profile shown, you might already have your Instagram and Facebook accounts linked.
    • If you're not sure if your accounts are already linked, you can tap Accounts & profiles to see if both Facebook and Instagram are listed under the same account name.

  9. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/1\/18\/Connect-Instagram-to-Facebook-Step-9-Version-3.jpg\/v4-460px-Connect-Instagram-to-Facebook-Step-9-Version-3.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/1\/18\/Connect-Instagram-to-Facebook-Step-9-Version-3.jpg\/v4-728px-Connect-Instagram-to-Facebook-Step-9-Version-3.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    If you want your Facebook profile information to fill out your Instagram information (like your profile picture), tap your Facebook account, then tap the switch next to "Sync profile info" to enable it.
    • If you want to remove the account or unlink it from Instagram, you can tap Remove from Accounts Center on this page. [1]
    • To cross-post to Instagram from Facebook or visa versa go to Accounts Center, then tap the account that you want to share from. You'll then be able to see what content is shared with your other accounts.

  • Question
    How do I link it without logging into Instagram?
    Community Answer
    Unfortunately, you can't link your Instagram account to your Facebook account without logging into both during the process. If you've forgotten the password for either account, you can recover it by tapping the "Forgot your password?" option and following the steps for the appropriate service.
