Facebook and IG are the most widely used social media networks worldwide. Since Facebook acquired Instagram, integration has been tight. If you have an Ig account and an Fb page, you can link the two so that new posts appear on both at the same time.
If you choose to maintain separate social profiles or restrict your social media activities, you can disconnect Facebook and Instagram. Delinking Facebook and Instagram are rather simple. Simply navigate to the Accounts Centre and delete the desired account there.
Social media users now have a single hub for managing their Facebook and Instagram accounts thanks to the Accounts Centre. It allows users to centrally manage connected experiences. These experiences include sharing Instagram and Facebook posts and stories, Instagram reels on Facebook, and a few more cross-platform activities.
Accounts Centre also enables you to disconnect Facebook and Instagram if these accounts are linked.

What happens when I disconnect Instagram from Facebook?
By disconnecting Facebook and Instagram, neither of these social profiles will be related anymore. Once you disconnect Instagram from Facebook, you will no longer be able to publish Instagram posts straight to Facebook.
In addition, Instagram will not inform your Facebook friends that you are on Instagram, so it may be difficult to attract followers.
Limit Your Facebook-Instagram Interaction
If you wish to maintain an Instagram-Facebook connection, there are choices for customization. You may, for instance, at any time choose to stop publishing such content.
In the Accounts Center of either the Instagram or Facebook app, select Sharing Across Profiles. Select a profile and then use the toggles to activate or deactivate Automatic Sharing for your status updates and stories.
Facebook and Instagram are tightly interwoven, and it is entirely up to you to connect or disconnect them. Submit your inquiries in the box below.
