Linking your Facebook account with Instagram benefits you in multiple ways. It allows you automatically share posts and stories between two social platforms. You can also find friends faster to connect with across these apps.
However, there are some downsides too. Your name and profile picture gets synced between these platforms which you may find annoying. Or there could be some other privacy reasons why you would like to disconnect your accounts.
Let’s see how you can unlink a Facebook account from Instagram.
