How Accounts Center links Instagram and Facebook

Accounts Center connects your Instagram and Facebook identities for shared login and settings — but each account stays a distinct entity that remains under your control.

When you connect Instagram and Facebook in Meta Accounts Center, you are linking two accounts that are both yours so they can share a login and some settings — not merging them into one. Your Instagram is still your Instagram, your Facebook is still your Facebook; they just share an identity layer that makes signing in and managing security more convenient.

What the link does and does not do

The link lets you use one set of credentials and security settings across both apps, and to move more smoothly between them. Some preferences can be shared. But the accounts remain separate entities — separate profiles, separate content, separate audiences.

It is worth being clear about the boundary: this personal linking is unrelated to giving a colleague or agency access. That is a Business Portfolio job. Accounts Center linking is about your convenience across your own accounts, and you can undo it at any time.

Frequently asked questions

No. They stay separate entities with separate content and audiences. Linking only shares a login and certain settings for your convenience.

Delvia

Access issues are easier to prevent when roles, owners, and responsibilities are recorded clearly

Most access problems trace back to the same gap — no clear record of who has access, what role they hold, and what should happen when that changes. Delvia helps you keep that record so problems are visible before they become incidents.

Delvia is free on iPhone and Android. Keep a clear record of who has access to your accounts — and what to do when that changes — wherever you are.
