#Why won't Instagram connect to my Page?

#How do I connect them?

1. Make sure you have full control of the Page.
2. Switch Instagram to a professional account.
3. In Meta Business Suite, open Settings, Instagram accounts, Connect.
4. Log in to Instagram when prompted.
5. If it fails, try from the Facebook Page settings instead.

#What if an agency holds the connection?

Ask them to remove the link and hand back access. If they refuse, see our guide on agency lockouts.

#What common mistakes should I avoid?

• Creating a new Page instead of fixing access to the original.
• Giving an agency full control with no admin of your own.
• Linking a restricted asset to a healthy one.
• Retrying many times in an hour.

#When should I ask an expert before I act?

Ask for help before you appeal if the account matters to your income, your business or your memories, if you have already had one appeal rejected, or if you cannot tell whether the problem is a bug, a restriction or a hack. That is where most avoidable losses happen.
