Note: Before we dive into the fixes, follow the right method to connect the Facebook page to Instagram

Fix 1: Check Admin Rights

To link a Facebook page to Instagram, you need to be the admin of the Facebook page . If you are an editor or hold any other position, you will not see the page when you try to link Instagram and Facebook. So make sure that you hold the position of the admin.

To check that, open the Facebook page > go to its Settings > Page roles .

Fix 2: Disconnect Instagram Account from Facebook Page

To cross-post content from a Facebook page to Instagram , you have to connect them on Facebook. Sometimes, linking the wrong Instagram account poses an issue when you try to link Facebook from Instagram. Whether the connected Instagram account is right or wrong, disconnect it to see if the issue is fixed.

For that, follow these steps from your PC on Facebook’s website.

Step 1: Launch the Facebook website > open the Facebook page > click on Settings .

Repeat the above steps to verify that the page is unlinked. Once unlinked, restart your phone and then link them again properly. In case, you are unable to unlink the two, you will have to convert your business profile to personal profile for some time. Then, you need to unlink them. Once unlinked, change to business account again and then link them.

Fix 4: Switch to Personal Account

Another solution that seems to help is to switch back to the personal account from your business account and then link the two. When you switch back, your posts or messages will not be deleted. Only your insight data from the business account will be removed.

Open Instagram > profile > hamburger menu icon > Switch to Personal Account .
