Adding the Instagram Facebook Page Tab

The Instagram/Page integration is accomplished through an app that places an Instagram tab on the Facebook Page. Here's how to do it:

  1. Log in to your Facebook account. It must be the account that has access to the Page you want to add the Instagram tab to.

  2. Type “Instagram” in the search bar at the top of any Facebook screen to produce search results for Instagram. Hit Return on your keyboard or click on the Magnifying glass to begin the search.

  3. In the Apps section, locate the Instagram option entitled Instagram Page App and click the Use Now button.

When the installation is complete, visitors to the tab on the Page can click on individual photos, share them, and comment on them. The goal here is visitor engagement.

If you have turned off all apps in your Privacy settings, you'll be prompted to turn apps back on before the tab is installed.
