When running business and personal accounts, there is often a need to link an Instagram page to a Facebook profile. At the very beginning, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the social network Instagram is a product of Facebook. It follows from this that by linking your Insta profile to Facebook, you will receive a number of specific advantages and additional options. In this article we will talk about how to link an Instagram business account to Facebook and why it is needed.

Why do this

If you are looking for an answer to the question of how to link your Instagram account to Facebook, you want to get a bunch of additional functions, advantages and goodies for your account. Binding allows you to:

Provide a higher level of account security. If a page has been blocked or hacked by attackers, it is much easier to restore it if there is a connection with the Facebook page. In this case, to restore it, just log into Facebook; there is no need to contact technical support.
Confirm that you are a real person and not a robot, which increases the level of trust the social network has in you. Thus, the linked profile is a kind of protection against blocking.
Increase your reach. Instaposts will also be displayed to your followers on Facebook, which increases your audience reach and, as a result, significantly increases user engagement.
Publications are posted simultaneously on all related social networks, which significantly saves posting time.
Open up the possibility of using official advertising on the Instagram social network, since a prerequisite for its use is setting it up through a Facebook profile.
And lastly, you can open a business account only after linking. Therefore, to conduct business, view statistics and use business tools, you must go through the steps described below.

At the moment, you can only link one Facebook profile. If you need to link another profile, you need to unlink the already linked one and go through the procedure again.

In a similar way, you can link pages on other social networks to reach more subscribers and increase the visibility of your publications.

After the linking is completed, the Instaprofile can be turned into a business page. A business page differs from a standard profile in the following ways:
