Since acquiring Instagram in 2012, Facebook has streamlined cross-app functionality for businesses and nonprofits. The latest update to Facebook Business Suite makes it possible for administrators to manage everything from cross-posting to replying to messages in one place.
Of course, social admins with Moyens I/O-linked accounts could do this a long time ago.

Why should you link your Instagram to a Facebook page?
These are the main benefits available when you link your Instagram account to a Facebook page.
Build customer trust
Don’t overlook the importance of providing a seamless online experience for customers. By linking your accounts, you can trust that your followers are doing the same job and offer seamless interactions.
Schedule posts across platforms
If you have a busy schedule or run multiple accounts, you already know the benefits of scheduling posts. To schedule posts for Instagram and Facebook in Moyens I/O (or any other social media management board), you need to link your accounts.
Respond to messages faster
When you connect your Instagram and Facebook accounts, you can manage your messages in one place. This makes it much easier to maintain fast response times and gives you access to more inbox tools, from customer tags to message filters.
Get sharper insights
With both platforms connected, you can compare audiences, stream performances, and more. See where your organic efforts are going and identify where it makes the most sense to invest in promotions.
Post better ads
In some regions, you must link a Facebook page to advertise. Although not required, linking accounts allows you to post and pay for ads on both platforms in one place.
Open an Instagram store
If you are interested in selling products or services on Instagram, you need a linked Facebook page to set up a shop. By linking accounts, you can also sync business information and use features like appointment buttons and donation stickers.
Pro tip: Moyens I/O users with e-commerce businesses can include products from Shopify stores in their posts with the Shopview app.
