How to Connect Your Facebook Page to Instagram Business Account [+ What Happens When You Do]

Facebook is continuously integrating all of its platforms. As a result, for Instagram and Facebook, it is much easier for users to cross-manage content and marketing on both platforms. But to do this successfully, you’d have to link your Facebook page and Instagram business account.

As a business owner, digital marketer, or creator, you should definitely connect your Facebook page to Instagram so it harmonizes your activities. And you shouldn’t even worry about individually tracking these activities, as Facebook reports segregate them.

Here are a couple of things that happens when you connect your Facebook page to your Instagram business account.

What Happens When You Connect Both Accounts

• Anyone logged into the connected Instagram account can share posts directly to the Facebook page and vice-versa
• Page admins can view and manage customers’ contact information from the contact tab on Facebook
• Page admins can add stories from Instagram
• Business contact info like email address, phone number, business address can be synced between the two platforms such that updates/changes made on one platform will appear on the other
