3. Change your Facebook account password

Changing your Facebook password to enable Instagram share might seem a bit unusual, but it could help you out in the scenario where you are running a wrong session.

Changing your password logs you out of all the active sessions and allow you to share posts from Instagram to Facebook. Follow the steps below to change the password.

1. Open the Facebook app.
2. Tap the three-bar horizontal menu iconin the top-right corner.

After changing the password, you will be logged out of all the active sessions. So, log into the Facebook app and link your Facebook account with Instagram using the new password.

4. Disconnect Facebook from Instagram

In some cases, you will need to disconnect and reconnect your Facebook account from Instagram. Like after changing the Facebook account password, Instagram sometimes doesnt log you out from your Facebook account and will keep sharing posts. This will lead to failure in posting.

Heres how you can do the same.

1. Open theInstagramapp and go to theProfiletab.
2. Tap the three-bar icon in the top-right corner Settings.
3. Next, select Accounts Sharing to Other Apps Facebook.
4. TapAccounts Centre.
   
   
   
5. Select username or name (Accounts and profiles).
6. Tap Facebook account Remove From Account Centre.
   
   
   
7. Now, hitContinue Remove.

This will disconnect Facebook from your Instagram account. Now restart your phone and link your Facebook account with Instagram, as mentioned earlier.
