It is possible to disable the automatic sharing of Instagram posts and “Story” with Facebook from the Instagram application (iOS, Android) or an Internet browser. Explanations.
In an attempt to keep you on Facebook, the platform has implemented a feature that allows you to link your Instagram account to your Facebook profile, automatically sharing your content on both platforms at the same time. All this with a presentation that tends to mislead users, who sometimes do not realize these double publications. If you prefer to compartmentalize your activity on these two social networks, you can easily remove this option. That is how.
