I have been trying to figure this out for weeks now, connecting Facebook and Instagram to be able to post on both platforms simultaneously.
Anyone who has experience with that?
I connected the accounts, but whenever I want to post on Facebook and send the post to Instagram as well, Meta tells me that I need to connect to Instagram. The connection is established but it does not work.
Maybe is something about the two factor authentication or that you need a business IG and FB account?
Can I Automatically Post From Facebook to Instagram?
Absolutely. However, some conditions have to be met:
⢠You need to have a business IG and FB account.
⢠You need to have access to a Facebook page that you manage.
⢠You can only post to IG from that Facebook page.
⢠You should disable the two-factor authentication feature on Instagram.
Why Canât I Post From Facebook to Instagram?
Maybe youâve linked your Instagram and Facebook accounts, but you donât see the option to post from Facebook. This might be because you donât use a business IG account. Also, you need to have access to a specific Facebook page and post from there. You can also only use this feature from your desktop. If you meet all these conditions and still canât post, try relinking your accounts.
How Do I Connect Instagram With Facebook?
Connecting your Instagram and Facebook accounts is essential if you want to share across both platforms. Just follow these simple steps:

Head over to your profile page.
Tap on the three horizontal lines in the upper right-hand corner of the screen.
Tap on the Settings gear at the bottom of the side menu.
Go to Account and tap the Sharing to Other Apps option.
Select Facebook.
Type in your Facebook login information.
Now youâll be able to share posts to Facebook from Instagram.
To connect your Facebook page with your Instagram account, do the following:
Go to your Facebook page and click on the Settings tab in the left sidebar menu.
Choose Instagram from the menu.
Click on the Connect to Instagram option.
A new window will appear, asking you to sign in to Instagram.
Your accounts will be linked once you sign in to your IG account.
I have been through the obvious instructions and problem-solving suggestions several times now. Donât know what I am missing.
That could be meâŚ
The connection was established
I donât see the option to post from Facebook
[well it is there, but it tells me to create the connection, which I did already]
You need access to a specific Facebook page and post from there.
All my friends and family back home refuse to communicate with me on Facebook. Except for you know Grandma and Grandpa who like to post their favorite memes and see family pictures from me.
Tonight I open Facebook and the first post was something I was interested in. So I looked at it was reading it and trying to save some of the information. I backed up so then Facebook reloaded and I lost it I cannot find it again. Facebook is like managed by illiterates or something.
Final decisions have now been made by the DPC in which it has fined Meta Ireland âŹ210 million (for breaches of the GDPR relating to its Facebook service), and âŹ180 million (for breaches in relation to its Instagram service).
Meta Ireland has also been directed to bring its data processing operations into compliance within a period of 3 months.
The hacker has inserted themselves as admin of the business page, removing the rights of the previous admins, I went down the rabbit hole to search for solutions. Facebook makes me Meta angry in just a few secondsâŚ
I will recommend to the owner to abandon the platform.
Yes! Happened to my daughterâs account (Sheâs 6 now btw) which her mom created for her when she was about 2~3 yrs old, just to post random pics of her etc. She then totally forgot about this account and havenât posted anything on it for almost a year and when she tried logging into it one day, she was locked out. Upon repeated attempts to log in to no avail, she gave up. Then she noticed our daughterâs account posting all crap (semi nudes, ads promoting alcohol, sex pills etc) on her own timeline and thatâs when we realized the account has been hacked and taken over. Till this day, the account keeps posting shit everyday despite our attempts trying to contact the hacker to stop. FB canât do anything to help. Theyâre still using the selfie pic I took of my daughter & I as the profile pic
From what I can find on the web, it seems like FB is kind of hopeless when trying to get help. Itâs also a cess pool of dubious actors. I avoid that platform as much as I can now.
I donât really see the point of hacking a childâs FB account. What do they gain from that? Not a lot of followers, no leverage for blackmailing, etc.
