Fortunately, Instagram provides an easy way to automatically share Instagram posts to a Facebook page as well.
In this short tutorial, we are going to show you how you can do that. You can also check out this video tutorial on how to share Instagram posts on Facebook automatically:

- Tap on ‘Edit Profile’.
- Under ‘Public Business Information’, tap on ‘Page’.
- You will see the list of Facebook pages you have admin access.
- Select the one you want to connect to the Instagram account or create a new Facebook page if you want to do that.
- Tap Done after you’ve selected a Page or created a new Page.

Once you have connected the Instagram business account to the Facebook page, you can now start automatically sharing Instagram posts to your Facebook page.
Here is how to share Instagram posts to Facebook:
- Open up the Instagram account
- Click on the ‘+’ icon to create a new Instagram post.
- Add your Image or video to the Instagram post.
- On the last screen, you can add the description of the post, tag people, add location, and also select to also share the Instagram post to the connected Facebook page automatically.
