Add an Instagram Account to your business portfolio in Meta Business Suite

Add your business’s Instagram account to your business portfolio to efficiently manage its activity and online presence in Meta Business Suite . If you want to add your Instagram account on the mobile app, follow these instructions.

Before you begin

  • Make sure you have an Instagram professional account for your business.
  • Make sure you have full control of the business portfolio. Learn how to submit a request to get full control of the business portfolio if no one in your organization currently has full control of the business portfolio.
  • Make sure your Instagram account is not linked to another business portfolio. Each Instagram account can only link to one business portfolio. You’ll need to remove it from any existing portfolio before linking it to a new one. However, you can allow partners to manage your business assets by giving access to partners or adding your Instagram account to their business portfolio.

Note: Adding an Instagram account to your business portfolio doesn't automatically link it to a Facebook Page. Learn how to connect your Instagram account to a Facebook Page.
