Facebook and Instagram are eternally linked. Not only is Instagram owned by Facebook, but sharing Instagram photos via Facebook is very common. However, recent revelations have left people wondering how much they should actually share via Facebook. Even before the Facebook data scandal, there were times when you just don’t want every Instagram photo to go on your Facebook page.
To be honest, there are many good reasons not to automatically link your Facebook and Instagram accounts. Keeping the two mutually exclusive allows you to have much greater control over your Instagram Privacy privacy. To keep your online profiles separate, just follow these steps.
- Open Instagram and go to your profile.
- Select “Settings.”
- Go to “Linked Accounts” and disable the Facebook option.
You can also disable Instagram like sharing through Facebook. To do so, just go to “Share Settings,” choose Facebook, and disable “Share Likes to Timeline.”
