Have you ever wondered how people share their Instagram posts to Facebook?
The secret is cross-linking your accounts — that way, when you create posts (or edit them), you can direct Instagram to share your photo or video to that other platform.
Plus, linking your accounts may send a notification to your Facebook friends to the effect that you're now on Instagram. That makes it easier to gain followers from that network without having to send out a "follow-me" message.
Here's how to link Facebook and Instagram accounts on your iPhone or Android.
