Instagram won't connect to Facebook

I can't seem to connect my Instagram to my Facebook. When I go to share my Instagram on Twitter, Tumblr, Flickr, etc. it works fine and connects. However, when I click on Facebook I get the error message: "Facebook Login Failed - Make sure you've allowed Instagram to use Facebook in iOS Settings > Privacy > Facebook." I went there and Instagram wasn't even listed. I uninstalled both apps, reset my iPad, removed Instagram from my Facebook, reinstalled both apps, tried to connect with Facebook again yet it keeps showing the same error message. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi, iOS 6.1.1

I too am having this same issue, no luck finding a fix yet. Just recently had my iPhone refreshed too. So not sure why this is happening?

agreed ... and their solution doesn't work on this issue. It worked fine ... until it didn't ... now when I try to share an instagram photo to facebook, it takes me to Safari and tells me to log in ... when I do, it still just shows me the log in page again. When I copy the URL to Chrome and then log into FB it says that I have already connected my FB account to instagram. When I start instagram all over again, I have the exact same issue ... groundhogs day ...

Sorry for posting in the Ipad thread but I have an iPhone 6 running iOS 9.1. and spent 2.5 hours tonight trying to troubleshoot why Instagram wasnt linking / sharing to my personal Facebook page.


I tried every logical solution suggested here & in other threads... e.g deleting both apps > reinstalling apps; settings > facebook > delete user > add user; Facebook > search instagram app > send app request to mobile; settings / privacy > Facebook; etc etc etc. I linked all other accounts to Instagram (Flickr / Tumblr / Twitter) but no luck with Facebook. Through the many trials & tribulations, I realised that I couldn't login to the Facebook website through Safari but I was able to login to my FB account through both iPhone settings & FB app.


And the solution...


Settings > Safari > Privacy & Security > Block Cookies - Allow (from Website I visit).


Hope this proves helpful to anyone reading through this thread!

Hi Everyone!


I'm on my iPhone 6s, running iOS 9.3.3. To everyone who say that it's an issue with iOS. IT IS NOT!


I found out the fix for the browser not responding for linking with facebook.


1. SETTINGS - SAFARI - PRIVACY & SECURITY - BLOCK COOKIES - ALWAYS BLOCK.

2. And make sure you Clear History and Website Data.

3. Go to Advanced - Enable Java Script.


Open instagram, link facebook! It Works fine! 😉
