Instagram and Facebook can be like two arms of the same social media creature in your life: the former can be the repository for all the images that define your life with little bits of text added for context, while the latter is your life's ongoing conversation with images to add some color. 

Adding your Instagram link to your Facebook bio can also help you get more viewings on your snaps, potentially helping your potential side career as an influencer. 

Here's how to add an Instagram link to your Facebook bio section.

2. Click on your profile image at the top of the screen.

3. Click the "About" under your cover photo and then "Contact and Basic Info" on the left-hand menu.
