Instagram 'Share to Facebook' option not working for multiple users

The cross-posting functionality between the Meta owned Facebook and Instagram let you share your Instagram posts directly to a linked Facebook account.

But lately, users have been reporting various issues with Instagram’s sharing and reposting features. In fact, the recent change to the ‘Add Post to your Story’ button’s location only made things worse.

Instagram ‘Share to Facebook’ option not working

Some Instagram users (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) have now taken to Reddit and Twitter to report that the app’s ‘Share to Facebook’ option is not working for them.

This is weird… my puppy’s Instagram will still share posts to my FB, but my personal one will not. And no, I did not change any settings today. It just… stopped.

According to reports, the issue is possibly related to Instagram. When users try sharing Facebook posts or videos on Instagram, it works perfectly fine.

Even though some users have a setting enabled that let them automatically share their Instagram posts on Facebook, they are still not able to do it.

What’s even more frustrating is the fact that every time they post something on Instagram, it claims to have shared it on Facebook, but it doesn’t when checked later.

It is incredibly annoying as even after trying all the general troubleshooting and recommended steps, nothing seems to help.

@instagram can’t share posts between FB and IG. I’ve done all the steps that’s recommended but no luck.

No official word in sight

Unfortunately, Instagram hasn’t commented on the issue yet and there is also no workaround that can help fix it.

We hope that the developers look into the reports and come up with a resolution at the earliest.

We’ll keep tabs on the latest developments and update this article as and when something noteworthy comes up.
