Are you tired of having your Facebook and Instagram accounts linked together? Do you want to disconnect them for privacy reasons or to regain control of your social media presence? We've got you covered! In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through the process of disconnecting Facebook from Instagram. Follow these instructions carefully for a smooth and hassle-free experience.
Step 1: Accessing Instagram Settings
Open the Instagram app on your mobile device or visit the Instagram website on your computer. Log in to your Instagram account, if you haven't already. Once logged in, navigate to your profile by tapping on your profile picture or the profile icon. Then, locate and tap on the three horizontal lines at the top-right corner of your profile page to access the settings menu. From the menu, choose "Settings".
Step 2: Managing Linked Accounts
- On the Settings page, scroll down to find the "Account" section. Tap on it to expand the options.
- Within the "Account" section, look for the "Linked Accounts" option and tap on it.
- You will now see a list of social media platforms, including Facebook. Tap on the Facebook option to proceed.
Step 3: Disconnecting Facebook
- Once you tap on the Facebook option, you will see a prompt asking for your Facebook login credentials. Enter your Facebook email/phone number and password to proceed.
- After successfully logging in, you will be presented with the option to "Unlink Account". Tap on this option to disconnect Facebook from Instagram.
- A confirmation message will appear, stating that your Facebook account has been successfully unlinked from Instagram.
Step 4: Verifying the Disconnection
To ensure that the Facebook-Instagram connection has been severed, you can follow these final steps:
- Go back to the main settings page by tapping on the back arrow at the top-left corner of the screen.
- Scroll down and re-visit the "Account" section. Tap on "Linked Accounts" again.
- You should no longer see Facebook listed in the linked accounts. This indicates that the disconnection was successful.
And that's it! You have successfully disconnected your Facebook account from Instagram. Enjoy the newfound freedom and privacy that comes with this separation.
Please note that disconnecting Facebook from Instagram will revoke any cross-platform sharing capabilities between the two accounts. If you wish to re-establish this connection in the future, you can follow a similar process to link them back together.
