Open Accounts Center from Instagram or Facebook, find the connected account relationship, then remove the account only after checking that you selected the intended profile. Availability and labels can differ by account configuration.
Confirm the exact Instagram and Facebook profiles shown in Accounts Center. Unlinking connected experiences is different from deleting either account, removing Page access, or changing login credentials.

Open Accounts Center
Open Accounts Center from the Instagram or Facebook settings for the connected account.
3
Review connected accounts
Find the account relationship or connected experience and confirm both profile names before changing it.
4
Remove the intended connection
Use the available removal control and complete the confirmation prompt.
After removing the account from Accounts Center, reopen both apps and verify cross-posting, shared login prompts, and profile synchronization reflect the intended separation. Check any scheduled cross-posts independently.
6
Understand limits and consequences
Removing a connection can stop shared experiences and may change how you sign in, but it does not erase posts already shared to Facebook or Instagram. Save independent login and recovery methods first.
7
Use the safest supported follow-up
Review Sharing across profiles and other connected experiences before removal; disabling one feature may meet the goal with less disruption. Reconnect only through Accounts Center if later needed.
