How to limit your Instagram-Facebook interaction
While unlinking Facebook from Instagram is easy, it will still leave you on a dead-end. However, you can customize and control sharing across platforms.
- Visit the Accounts Centre on either Instagram or Facebook app.
- Tap Connected experiences → Select Sharing across profiles.
- From the Share from section, pick your Instagram or Facebook profile.
- Toggle On/Off Automatically Share for your posts or stories.
By default, the slider is OFF.
