You can now share Instagram Story simultaneously to your Facebook Story. You can now share your stories about days in your lives with both your Instagram and Facebook friends at the same time! If you have an Instagram account, you can now share your Instagram Stories easily with your Facebook friends.
Why share your Instagram Story to Facebook? Loosely speaking, you’ve doubled your visibility automatically by sharing across two networks.
How to Link your Instagram Profile to your Facebook Business Page
1. Log onto Instagram and go to your profile page (lower right icon with your picture)
2. In the upper left of the screen, click the 3 dots (i.e. your settings menu)
3. Scroll down until you reach “Settings”
4. Click ‘Linked Accounts’
5. Click the other social media account to which you want to link (this can be either a personal account or a Facebook business page). You will then be prompted to enter your log in information for the other account.
Note: in order to link to a business page, you will need to convert your Instagram account to a business account. Also, once you link a Facebook business page to an Instagram business account, you cannot unlink it unless you convert your Instagram business account back to a personal account.
How to Share Instagram Stories to Facebook Stories
Log into your Instagram account and on your home feed, post an Instagram Stories post as you normally would. Before you add the photo or video to “Your Story”, click the “Send to >” button. On the Share story page, click ‘Your Story’ after which you will see a drop down for ‘Your Facebook Story.’ Click the ‘Your Facebook Story’ radio button, then ‘Share’ at the bottom of the screen. Now you will be sharing this Instagram Story with your friend son Facebook.
Again, this requires that your Instagram account is connected to your Facebook profile. If you don’t know how to do so, click here.
