Thank you! But are there any other options for Business IG accounts? We don’t have the option anymore to switch the automatic sharing to our personal FB pages. It now only allows us to automatically post to our business FB pages. Which for me, has far less engagement than my personal page. Any known workarounds besides downloading IG stories and repurposing them on my personal FB page? That’s what I’ve been doing for months, but it’s just gotten so burdensome. Eee! x

Hi Patrice! Yes, you can switch it. Go to settings, account, sharing to other apps, and then select Facebook. Then you can change which Facebook to share to. I don’t think there’s an easy way to switch between Facebooks though, you’ll have to come here to make the switch before sharing to your Facebook page. Hope that helps!
