How to Share Instagram Reels on Facebook Profile

Sharing Instagram Reels as a Facebook post is easy. Simply follow these steps:

  1. Open the Instagram app and find the Reel you want to share.

Please note that when you share an Instagram reel on Facebook, it will only share the link to the reel, not the actual video itself.

How to Share Your Instagram Reels on Facebook Automatically

Instead of manually sharing each of your Instagram Reels on Facebook, you can automate the process. Here's how:

  1. Open the Instagram app and upload the reel.
  2. Select the Reel option and choose the video you want to post.
  3. Make any desired edits using the tools provided by Instagram.
  4. Tap Next to enter the publish page.
  5. Scroll down and tap the Recommend on Facebook option.
  6. Enable the toggle beside Recommend on Facebook.
  7. Choose whether to turn on automatic sharing for all future reels or just the current one.
  8. Tap Next and then Share to publish the reel on Instagram and Facebook.

By enabling automatic sharing, your Instagram reels will be visible on Facebook, along with your Instagram username. This feature works without connecting your Facebook account to Instagram.

How to Share Instagram Reels on Facebook Groups

If you're a member of any Facebook groups, you can also share your Instagram Reels with the group. Here's how:

  1. Open the Instagram Reel you want to share.
  2. Tap on the share icon (paper plane icon) at the bottom right corner.
  3. Select the Facebook option in the share sheet.
  4. On the Facebook page, tap Share to Feed and choose In a group.

How to Share Instagram Reels on Facebook Pages

Sharing Instagram Reels on Facebook Pages is slightly different. Follow these steps:

  1. Open the Facebook app and tap on the hamburger menu at the top right corner.
  2. Select the Facebook page where you want to post the Instagram reel.
  3. Switch to the Facebook page account.
  4. Open the Instagram Reel you want to share.

How to Share Instagram Reels on Facebook Messenger

To share an Instagram Reel on Facebook Messenger, follow these steps:

  1. Download the Facebook Messenger app on your smartphone.
  2. Open the Instagram Reel you want to share.
  3. Tap on the Share icon (paper plane icon) and select the Messenger app.
  4. Choose the Messenger contact you want to share the reel with.
  5. Tap the Send button to share the Instagram Reel on Messenger.

Instagram Reels on Facebook

By default, sharing Instagram Reels on Facebook will only share the link to the reel, not the video itself. If you want to share the video directly, you'll need to download the Instagram Reel manually and share the video separately. However, make sure you have the necessary permissions to avoid any copyright issues.

Now that you know how to share Instagram Reels on Facebook, Facebook Pages, Facebook Groups, and Messenger, you can easily share your favorite moments with your friends and followers across different platforms. Enjoy sharing and connecting with others through your creative content!
