What happens when I share my Instagram posts to Facebook?
Instagram posts you share to Facebook will appear as a post in your Facebook Feed and profile.
The audience for Instagram posts you share to Facebook may be different from the audience for posts you create on Facebook. This setting can be changed at any time.
To change the audience from the Instagram app:
  1. Start creating a photo or reel.
  2. Before sharing your post, tap Advanced Settings.
  3. Tap Facebook Audience below Preferences. From here you can choose to share with:
    • Friends on Facebook. All of your Facebook friends can see your Instagram post on Facebook.
    • Only Me. Only you can see your Instagram post on Facebook.
    • Public. Anyone on or off Facebook can see your Instagram post on Facebook.
Note that you can also change your audience on Facebook for a specific post after you’ve shared the post to Facebook.
If you choose to update your audience settings, the audience for all posts you share from Instagram to Facebook will be the same audience as posts you create on Facebook. Keep in mind that after you make this update, you will no longer be able to use Instagram to change the Facebook audience for Instagram posts you share to Facebook. Instead, you will need to update the default audience for your Facebook posts to change the audience for Instagram posts you share to Facebook.
