How to Stop Stories from Instagram to Facebook
Are you tired of your Instagram stories automatically appearing on your Facebook profile? It can be quite an inconvenience, especially if you want to keep your social media activities separate. Don’t worry; you’re not alone in this. Many users have faced the same issue and are looking for a solution. In this article, we will guide you through the steps to stop stories from Instagram to Facebook.
1. Check Instagram Settings
The first step is to check your Instagram settings. Open the Instagram app, go to your profile, and tap on the three lines in the top right corner to access the menu. Scroll down and select “Settings.” From there, tap on “Privacy.”
2. Adjust Story Sharing Settings
In the Privacy settings, you will find a section called “Story Sharing.” Here, you can control which platforms your Instagram stories are shared with. Look for the option “Allow Sharing to Other Platforms” and make sure it is turned off. This will prevent your stories from being automatically shared to Facebook.
3. Manage Facebook App Permissions
If you have already shared your Instagram stories with Facebook, you may need to manage the permissions for the Facebook app on your Instagram account. Go back to the Instagram app’s settings, tap on “Apps and Websites,” and then scroll down to find the Facebook app. Tap on it, and you will see a list of permissions granted to the app. Uncheck the “Stories” permission to stop your Instagram stories from appearing on Facebook.
4. Delete Facebook App from Instagram
If the above steps don’t work, you can try deleting the Facebook app from your Instagram account. This will remove all permissions granted to the app, including the permission to share your stories. Here’s how to do it:
– Go to the Instagram app’s settings and tap on “Apps and Websites.”
– Find the Facebook app and tap on it.
– Tap on “Remove.”
5. Reinstall Facebook App
After deleting the Facebook app from Instagram, you can reinstall it. This will allow you to grant permissions again, but this time, you can selectively choose which permissions to grant. Follow these steps:
– Go to the App Store or Google Play Store and search for the Facebook app.
– Install the app on your device.
– Open the app and log in to your account.
– Go to the Facebook app’s settings and grant the necessary permissions for Instagram stories.
6. Regularly Review App Permissions
To prevent this issue from happening again in the future, it’s essential to regularly review the permissions granted to apps on your Instagram account. Go to the “Apps and Websites” section in the Instagram settings and review the permissions for each app. Make sure to revoke access for any app that you no longer use or trust.
By following these steps, you should be able to stop stories from Instagram to Facebook. Remember to keep your social media activities separate to maintain your privacy and control over your content.
