As Instagram and Facebook are both owned by the same company, Meta, the platform has a nifty feature that automatically shares posts to your Facebook feed.

It’s a great tool that means you can share the same photo on both platform quickly and easily, and it’s used by millions of users across the globe.

However, Instagram posts don’t appear to be uploading to Facebook as usual this week, and users can’t understand why. If this is happening to you, find out how to fix it below…

Lots of Instagram users have been taking to Twitter over the past few days to complain that their Instagram posts are not sharing to Facebook.

After posting their Instagram photo, people are reporting that the image is not sharing to Facebook at all and isn’t visible anywhere on their profile.

One person wrote: “Anyone having sharing issues from #instagram to #facebook when I post on Instagram my posts always share to my Facebook. This morning, it’s not doing so. I’ve checked my settings, changed passwords, tried again & it did nothing.”

Try relinking Facebook to Instagram

If your photos still aren’t sharing, relinking your Facebook account to your Instagram should fix it. Here’s how to do it…

Open Instagram and go to your profile.

Click the three lines in the top right-hand corner and tap ‘Settings’.

Tap ‘Accounts’ then ‘Sharing to other apps’.

Press ‘Facebook’ and remove your profile from the ‘Accounts Centre’.

Then, connect your Facebook profile to your Instagram again.

Other things to try

If that didn’t work, here are some other things that could potentially help…

Log out of both apps.

First, try logging out of both apps and then logging back in again as this might fix the feature.

Delete both apps and open them again.

If that didn’t work, completely delete the apps from your phone and re download them again.

Change your Facebook password.

Changing your Facebook password and then reconnecting it to your Instagram account could be the answer.

Check you’re using the most recent versions.

Make sure you’ve updated the Facebook and Instagram apps to the latest version in the App Store.

Yesterday I updated 3 apps. Instagram, Facebook and Messenger.
Now all of a sudden, the Instagram Stories I posted don't appear on my Facebook.
What is going on??
Facebook Story auto-share has been enabled.

level 1

Ahhh that’s a pain

I know what’s happening, it’s getting shared to a different page/account

level 2

Would that be a an account I own or a random account?

level 1

I’m having this problem too. Any solutions yet?

EDIT: solved! Had to re-link FB account to Instagram. Seems to be working now.

level 2

I did that too. Didn't work for me though :\

level 1

Also, when I share an (older) story in a private message, it says only I can see the video.
My settings are set to public and those stories are highlighted

You cannot share a post to your Story if the Add post to story button is missing. This feature is only available for public profiles. If you are trying to share a post from a private account, the share button will not appear, and you will be unable to proceed.

Why can't I see who shared my post to their story?

You can only see who shared your Instagram post to their stories if you have a business or creator account. These accounts give you access to content insights, which can tell you a lot about who is engaging with your Instagram posts, reels, and stories.

Why is someone's story not showing up on my Feed?

What if you did all of these things, and a specific person's Instagram stories are still not showing up in your feed? It could be that someone decided to prevent you from seeing their stories, or they've decided to only update their account to share them with select accounts.

Why is my Instagram story not showing on Facebook?

Before you can crosspost Instagram stories to Facebook, link your Instagram account to a Facebook profile or Page you manage. Note: If you have a creator account or use the Android version of the Instagram app, you may need to re-link your account to Facebook after logging out or switching between accounts.
