Many users link their Facebook and Instagram accounts for easy sharing across both platforms. However, sometimes you might want to keep your profiles separate for different audiences or personal reasons. Here's how you can unlink your Facebook and Instagram accounts from the Meta Accounts Centre.

1. Open Instagram and tap the profile icon at the bottom right.

3. Select Accounts Centre and then Accounts.

4. Tap Remove next to your Facebook account.
