Disconnecting Instagram from Facebook can feel like untangling a knot, but it’s easier than you think. Let me break it down for you step by step. Sometimes, you just want a little privacy. Maybe you’re tired of automatic posts or don’t want both accounts tied together anymore. Whatever your reason, here’s how to do it.
Quick Steps to Unlink Instagram from Facebook
- Open the Instagram app.
- Look for the menu button. On most devices, it’s in the bottom right corner, but sometimes it’s at the top right. Tap it.
- Scroll down in the menu until you see Settings and Privacy. Tap to expand it, then select Settings.
- At the top of the settings page, tap on Account Center.
- Inside Account Center, tap Sharing Across Profiles. Choose your profile and toggle off sharing options for both Instagram and Facebook if that’s all you want.
If you want a full disconnect:
- Scroll to the bottom of the Account Center.
- Tap Accounts.
- Select your Instagram account.
- Hit Remove.
- Confirm by pressing Yes, Remove.
If you unlink them but later change your mind, you can always reconnect through the same steps. It’s not permanent unless you want it to be. Unlinking gives you control over how your accounts interact. Whether it’s about privacy or simplifying your social media life, this process puts the power back in your hands.
