On your Facebook Business Page, locate the “Settings” option. This is typically found in the top right corner of the page. Click on it to access the settings menu.

Once you’ve logged in, Facebook will ask for your permission to access certain information from your Instagram account. This includes basic profile information and the ability to manage your comments. Click “Authorize” to grant these permissions.
Step 8: Choose Your Instagram Business Account
If you have multiple Instagram accounts, select the one you want to connect to your Facebook Business Page. Ensure that the account you choose is a business account, as only business accounts can be linked to Facebook Pages.
