With Facebook's acquisition of Instagram, the photo sharing social media platform has managed to stay in the spotlight and has proven to be more than just a fad, boasting over 200 million active users. If you're like me, your main social media outlets of choice are Facebook and Instagram so it make sense to link the two so your Instagram photos automatically post to your Facebook page. In this article I'm going to show you how to do this so that it will automatically post all future Instagram photos to your Facebook account or fan page in only 6 simple steps.
How To Automatically Post Instagram Photos To Facebook
Step 1: Open up the Instagram app & click on your ‘account' tab
Step 2: Click on the gear icon in the top right to access your account settings
Step 3: Scroll down to the preferences section & choose ‘share settings'
Step 4: Click on ‘facebook' to grant permission (if your name shows up next to ‘Facebook' you have already granted permission)
Step 5: You'll see a ‘Share Likes' popup, choose ‘Yes' if you want your Instagram photos to show up on Facebook or ‘No' if you don't (you can change this later)
Step 6: Your Instagram & Facebook accounts are now linked. Click the ‘Share to' button if you want to choose a fan page (you must be an admin) to post to instead of your personal account's timeline which is the default option

Great article, thanks. Is there a way to go the other way? i.e. Have your Facebook posts automatically post to Instagram?
