Do you want to share a photo from Instagram to Facebook? You can do it easily and automatically. Find out the procedure now

Instagram is not simply an app to share photos and have fun with friends: it can also be transformed into a useful marketing tool for companies and professionals. It allows you to develop branding and sales strategies effectively, showing projects, employees, behind the scenes and creative ideas to acquire customers or retain them.

Many entrepreneurs and specialists, however, avoid using it, because they already rely on Facebook and presiding over another social network would require an additional use of time. Fortunately, there is good news for individuals and companies: there is an effective method to share Instagram photos on Facebook automatically, thus saving precious minutes. The procedure is very simple and fast to perform. Do you want to try it? First, just download the Instagram app on your smartphone or tablet and sync your profile or Facebook page.

Connecting Instagram and Facebook Accounts

To start posting from Instagram to Facebook, you need to launch the app on your iPhone or Android smartphone. When you’re in the main interface, tap on the Profile icon present in the bottom right corner (the stylized half-bust, to be clear). From there, select the Menu icon at the top right, that is, the one depicting three parallel lines. To go on, follow the path: Settings > Privacy & Security and finally tap on the Connected Accounts item. A screen will open with several social networks: Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Ameba and Ok.ru. Tap the Facebook icon and enter the credentials to access the social network app. After you’re done syncing, you’ll be able to share what you post on Instagram on Facebook as well, including Stories.

How to share your Instagram posts on Facebook

To share a content from Instagram and Facebook, you need to select the photo or video and upload it to the app to post it normally. After selecting the filter and clicking Next, you will enter the screen dedicated to the Caption. Here you can add a text describing the post, accompanied by any hashtags, tags and geolocation. In the same screen, at the bottom you will find the possibility to share the content also on your Facebook profile or page. To do so, just select the appropriate icon. In this case, the post will be published simultaneously on both social networks. Of course, you can always disconnect your Facebook and Instagram accounts. To do so, you need to perform the same procedure from the photo social network app.
