How to Share Instagram Reels to Facebook

Instagram allows its users to create, edit, and post Reels for other users to interact with. Once reels are posted on public Instagram profiles, they will be seen by other users who follow them. To increase the viewership of Instagram Reels, Instagram users can now share their Reels to their Facebook accounts.

As you may know by now, Instagram and Facebook are both owned by Meta and users can link both accounts to allow for easier management and sharing of content among both platforms. Linking your Facebook and Instagram accounts is done on the Account Center which is available on both apps.
