Instagram stopped working due to a major Facebook failure.

On Instagram – as on other applications – the problems seem to be limited to a certain part of the site. Users report that their feeds can be loaded, but it is not possible to post anything new.

Otherwise, an error message will appear, indicating “Photo cannot be posted”, depending on the user who is experiencing the problem.

Check The Connection Between Facebook And Instagram

The ability to share depends on the connection between your Instagram account and your Facebook account.

Many users have found that checking and sometimes resetting the link is enough for Instagram for Facebook shares to be operational again. To check the connection between Facebook and Instagram in your Instagram account:

1. Open the Instagram application on your device.
2. Tap on Settings in your profile.
3. Press Account
4. Then tap Linked accounts.
5. Select Facebook from the list and you will be redirected to the Facebook application on your device.
6. You may also be prompted to connect to Facebook and check the link from Facebook by following these instructions:

When you first see Facebook in the list of linked accounts, it should be blue with the Facebook logo next to it, as well as your name associated with your Facebook account.

If you type on Facebook, you should be able to connect to Facebook from Instagram by typing “Login”.

If this doesn’t work, let’s reset the link to make sure Facebook is properly authenticated and linked to your Instagram account. Based on the linked accounts you brought to perform the above steps:

• Tap Disconnect account.
• Then tap Facebook again.
• A dialog box asks you: “Do you want to continue as “Your Name”, where “Your Name” is your name associated with your Facebook account?
• Assuming you link Instagram to the right Facebook account, press Continue.
• A dialog box will appear with the question: “Enable Facebook sharing?
• Tap Start sharing on Facebook.
• This will link or re-link your Facebook account to your Instagram account and allow you to share Instagram images with Facebook.

Try the following steps from the Instagram application

• In the Instagram application, tap on the icon of your profile (currently at the bottom right).
• Tap on the gear icon (currently to the right of Edit Profile).
• Scroll down to Linked Accounts under Options.
• Under Sharing Settings, make sure that the Facebook icon is highlighted (currently blue).
• If this is not the case (and it is greyed out), tap the Facebook icon option.
• If you have already logged into Facebook using Instagram, you should receive a message similar to this one: “You have already logged into Instagram using Facebook. Do you want to continue?
• Tap on Next.
• You should then be redirected to the Instagram Share Settings screen. If the process was successful, the Facebook icon should now be highlighted in blue, and you should be able to share again on Facebook from Instagram.

Log out and Log in on Both Apps

Sometimes, a simple solution like logging out fixes problems with Facebook and Instagram. Since it is essential to link the Facebook account and Instagram, we perform a universal reset by logging out.
