Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between connecting via Facebook and connecting Solo?
Connecting via Facebook (Recommended) allows you to publish to both Facebook Pages and Instagram simultaneously, and provides richer analytics. Connecting Solo only grants access to Instagram, but is perfect if you do not have or want a Facebook Page.
Can I connect a Personal Instagram account using this method?
No. Meta does not support automated posting for personal Instagram accounts. You must switch to a Business or Creator account.
