    Hello, when I want to link my Instagram account to my Facebook page, it says "This Instagram account is already connected to another Page." And this Instagram is not linked to any account.
    I tried both linking it from Instagram and Facebook.
    Any help?!

    Did you try this?
    "Scroll down and tap Linked Accounts, then select Facebook. If you haven't already, enter your Facebook login information. By default, your Instagram account will link to your personal Facebook Timeline. To link to a Page instead, tap Facebook again, then tap Share to and choose a Page that you manage."

    Sounds smooth, but I don't think I will set Instagram Ads via the page, it's only about sharing content.

    If it shows already connected then do Unlink that and try again

    You need to disconnect it from the other page and connect to the new one

    Facebook became too much annoying last time. It has too many bugs that it's easier to switch to another messenger. As for your problem you should try to unlink it and link back again. Maybe it will help somehow.

    Hi Dana, I tried what you suggested and it works if I am signed in as a regular page not a business page. But I NEED to be a business page. If I change the settings to business then it again says that that page is already signed in with instagram... and it's not. UUUGGGHHH HELP!

    Ok guys I think I figured this one out! Instagram automatically pairs to your personal facebook page when you link it through a instagram business account. I found that if you switch to a personal account and then link your facebook account instagram lets you select a page to pair the account with. After you select the page you'd like to pair your account with switch your account back to business and you're all set! Hope this helped!

    I tried what the person suggested above and I was able to link my instagram to a facebook page (however it is connecting to a different FB account than before because I am an admin of the FB page and run the instagram account, but the insta was originally connected to a different facebook account that is ALSO an admin of the FB page, but I don't know how to switch to a different FB account) BUT when I try to switch back to the business account it won't let me and keeps saying that the facebook page is already owned by another business. HELP!!! So beyond frustrated. Anyone have ideas? It won't let me connect from FB either. It says the instagram is already connected to an FB page (BUT IT IS THE SAME PAGE, and just won't show up)

    Has anyone figured out a solution to this. It’s so annoying. I have reported the issue to facebook 50+ times in the last month. I run 4 different business pages and have the same issue with all of them!
    I have tried every way on this forum and a bunch of other places and once you switch back to a professional account it doesn’t let you link the pages
