Facebook already allows users to cross-post their Instagram Stories and Reels to Facebook. Now it’s testing a new feature that would see posts flowing in the other direction, too. The company recently rolled out an option that allows users to cross-post their Facebook updates that include photos or videos over to their Instagram. For people who are active on both platforms, the feature could save you from having to upload the same media twice in two different apps. It also gives Facebook an easy way to seed Instagram with more content at a time when the company is invested in ensuring Instagram remains a popular social media platform with younger users in the face of increased competition from apps like Snapchat and TikTok.

Facebook said the feature, which has yet to be formally announced, first began to roll out earlier this month. However, the company noted the option is currently a global test that’s only available to a small group of people who already have their Facebook profiles linked to a personal, creator or business account on Instagram. If available, you’ll see the feature in Facebook’s compose box where you create posts. The new toggle appears besides those for editing the audience for your post and creating a new album.

The screen informs you this option will only apply to the post in question — it won’t become the default setting going forward. If you do want to change your defaults, though, you can visit the linked “Accounts Center,” where you can now toggle on an option to automatically share all your Facebook Posts to Instagram, in addition to automatically sharing your Facebook Stories to Instagram Stories. (The latter was previously available.) Image Credits: Screenshot from the Facebook app on iOS The company told us users will be able to cross-post to Instagram single photos, single videos or multiphoto albums up to 10 photos — the max that’s supported through Instagram’s carousels. Other formats, like GIFs, polls, photos albums with more than 10 photos, Feed reshares, text-only posts and any media that’s too tall for Instagram’s Feed are not eligible for cross-posting at present. Facebook has been working to make its suite of apps more interoperate in recent months — and not just by making cross-posting an option for those who use multiple apps. The company last year introduced cross-app communication between Messenger and Instagram, allowing Instagram users to chat with friends who use Facebook and (as of last month) vice versa. It’s also been working on making Messenger more of a “connective tissue” for Facebook’s growing number of real-time experiences and has been testing a way that Facebook users could make voice and video calls right on Facebook without having to switch to the Messenger app. And last month, it revamped its ad products to include more tools that would allow people to message businesses on any of Facebook’s chat platforms, instead of just the one where they’re seeing the ad. That means users could click an Instagram ad to chat with a business on WhatsApp, for example. If this all makes it a bit more confusing to determine what content lives where and who’s using which app, that could be by design. The tighter integrations may make it more difficult to fully exit Facebook, as content and communications flow between the Facebook suite of apps. In addition, the complexity could be hard to unravel in the case that regulators decide to break up Facebook into separate businesses, if it were to be declared a monopoly at some point in the future. Facebook did not say how long the global test would run or when it would roll out more broadly. Linking your Instagram and Facebook accounts has a lot of advantages. You can easily post your Instagram photos to your Facebook profile. It also makes it easier for your Facebook friends to find your Instagram profile, and for you to find out which of your Facebook friends are on& Instagram. If you'd rather keep the two social networks separate, you'll need to go through a series of simple steps on Facebook and Instagram. How to Disconnect Your Instagram Account From FacebookFirst, you're going to want to open up Instagram on your phone. Then, you'll need to follow the steps below the screenshots.
Once you've unlinked your account, new posts that you share on Instagram will no longer appear on Facebook. Moreover, your Facebook friends will not be prompted to follow you on Instagram when they log into that app. How to Remove Instagram Posts From FacebookIf you want to remove your existing Instagram posts from your Facebook profile, there are two ways you could go about it. The first is to manually delete all the photos in your Instagram album on Facebook. This could take a long time, especially if you have many pictures. The other way is to delete them through the Activity Log. This is where Facebook shows every action that you, or another user, has taken on your timeline—including reactions, shares, comments, tags, and posts. Here's how to delete your Instagram posts shared on Facebook through your Activity Log.
You'll see all the posts you've shared from other apps. Mark all the ones posted from Instagram and tap Trash at the bottom right of your screen. Facebook will move all the photos to trash and automatically delete them after 30 days. The Benefits of Keeping Your Facebook and Instagram Accounts SeparateThe main benefit of unlinking your Instagram accounts from Facebook is that it allows you have an entirely new profile. You'll be able to find and follow new people without Facebook always trying to suggest your Facebook friends to you. You may also have gotten that “your Facebook friend _____ is on Instagram” notification. Unlinking your Instagram account stops Facebook from sending similar notifications about you to your Facebook friends. Lastly, unsyncing your Instagram and Facebook accounts can help you focus more on each social media platform. You'll be less likely to share the same post on both networks, and can better curate the content that you want to share with your followers on each of the platforms. Should You Unsync Your Facebook and Instagram Accounts?There is no right or wrong answer when it comes to whether you should unsync your Facebook and Instagram accounts. It all depends on your preferences and what you want to get out of the two social networks. If you want to keep your Facebook and Instagram separate, follow the steps above to unlink your accounts. If you later decide that you want to link them again, you can always follow the same steps to do so.
