How to Unsync Facebook and Instagram: A Step-by-Step Guide
In today’s digital age, social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram have become an integral part of our lives. However, there may come a time when you want to disconnect these two platforms to maintain better privacy or simply reduce the amount of data being shared between them. If you’re looking to unsync Facebook and Instagram, here’s a step-by-step guide to help you do so.
Step 1: Log in to your Facebook account
The first step in unsyncing Facebook and Instagram is to log in to your Facebook account. Open your web browser and go to www.facebook.com. Enter your username and password to log in.
Step 2: Go to your Facebook settings
Once you’re logged in, click on the small arrow icon located at the top-right corner of the Facebook page. This will open a dropdown menu. From the menu, select “Settings.”
Step 3: Navigate to the Apps and Websites section
In the Facebook settings page, you’ll see several tabs at the top. Click on the “Apps and Websites” tab to view the list of apps and websites that are connected to your Facebook account.
Step 4: Find Instagram and manage the connection
Scroll through the list of apps and websites to find Instagram. Once you locate it, click on the “Manage” button next to it. This will open a new window showing the permissions and data shared between Facebook and Instagram.
Step 5: Disconnect Instagram
In the new window, you’ll see a list of permissions granted to Instagram. To unsync the two platforms, click on the “Remove” button next to each permission you want to revoke. For a complete disconnection, you’ll need to remove all permissions granted to Instagram.
Step 6: Confirm the changes
After removing the permissions, a confirmation pop-up will appear. Click on “Remove” to confirm the changes. This will disconnect Facebook and Instagram, and they will no longer share data with each other.
Step 7: Log out and log back in to Instagram
To ensure that the changes take effect, log out of your Instagram account and log back in. This will refresh the connection between the two platforms and remove any remaining sync settings.
By following these steps, you can successfully unsync Facebook and Instagram. Remember that this process will not delete your Instagram account; it will simply stop the platforms from sharing data with each other. If you ever decide to reconnect them, you can follow the same steps in reverse order.
