Can’t link Instagram to my Facebook page, why?

If you can’t connect your Instagram to a Facebook page, here are some tips and possible reasons why you can’t link your Instagram to a Facebook page.

1.      You are not the admin of the Facebook page

If you are not an admin of the Facebook page that you want to connect to your Instagram account, then Facebook won’t allow you to link the Facebook page and the Instagram business account. First, you have to add yourself as an admin or request admin access to the Facebook page to be able to connect the Instagram account to the Facebook business page.

2.      Your Instagram accounts is not an Instagram business account

You can’t connect a personal Instagram account to a Facebook page. You have to switch to an Instagram business account to be able to connect a Facebook business page to it.

You will also get many benefits when you switch to an Instagram business account and you don’t lose anything with it, so don’t be afraid to do so.

3.      The Instagram account is already connected to another Facebook page

If you try to link an Instagram account to a Facebook page that has already been connected to another Facebook page, Facebook won’t allow you that as you can only link an Instagram account to one Facebook page.

If that is the case, you will see a popup similar to this one:

If you are the admin of both Facebook business pages then you have the option here, to click on the ‘Next’ button and on the next window, click on ‘Switch connection’ and from now on the Instagram account will be connected to this page.

Keep in mind that of course, this means that the connection from the other Facebook page will be removed.
