What you’ll need

Before you start, make sure you have:

  • An Instagram account you can log into
  • A Facebook profile you can log into
  • Access to both accounts on your phone or computer
  • A Facebook Page (if you don’t have one, you’ll create it below)

Step 1: Switch your Instagram to a Business account

You can do this on mobile or desktop.

On mobile (recommended)

  1. Open the Instagram app
  2. Tap your profile (bottom right)
  3. Tap the menu (three lines in the top right)
  4. Tap Settings and privacy
  5. Scroll to Creator tools and controls
  6. Tap Switch account type
  7. Choose Switch to Business Account

On desktop (browser)

  1. Go to Instagram in your browser and log in
  2. Open Settings
  3. Scroll to Creator tools and controls
  4. Select Switch to Business Account or Professional Account
  5. Follow the prompts to finish

Step 2: Create a Facebook Page (only if you don’t already have one)

If you already have a Page, skip to Step 3.

  1. Open Facebook and go to your profile
  2. Click Pages
  3. Click Create Page
  4. Fill out the basics:
    • Page name: your name or your brand name
    • Category: something like Digital Creator or Influencer
    • Bio: a quick 1–2 sentence description (optional)
    • Add a profile photo and cover photo (optional)
  5. Click Publish

You don’t need any posts or followers for this to work.

Step 3: Open the Facebook Page you want to connect

  1. On Facebook, go to Pages
  2. Find Pages you manage
  3. Click the Page you want to connect to Instagram

Step 4: Connect your Instagram account to your Facebook Page (Facebook method)

  1. While viewing your Facebook Page, go to Settings
  2. Scroll to Permissions
  3. Click Linked accounts
  4. If Instagram isn’t connected, click Connect account
  5. Log into Instagram when prompted and approve the connection

Alternative: Connect inside Instagram (Instagram method)

If the Facebook method doesn’t work, try this:

  1. Open the Instagram app
  2. Go to your profile
  3. Tap Edit profile
  4. Scroll to Profile information
  5. Tap Page
  6. Select and connect the Facebook Page you want to use

You’re done ✅

  • Your Instagram is connected to a Facebook business/professional Page
