Learn How to Link Instagram to Facebook

You know that Facebook and Instagram offer integration you simply won’t find across any other social media platforms. Unlike Twitter, which publishes your Instagram posts as basic web links, Facebook gives you the chance to share images directly from the photo-sharing app to your timeline and News Feed, so there is no wonder that many of you think of finding a way to link Facebook and Instagram.

With your accounts being linked, you can follow your Facebook friends on Instagram or even post directly to both Instagram and Facebook at the same time using the Instagram app. This is commonly known as “dual-posting” and those who’ve tried it, love it! So, are you ready to learn how to do it?

You should know from the start that this process can only be done via a smartphone app, not your desktop. You are clearly lucky for using Android, so let me be your guide:
