How to limit your Instagram-Facebook interaction

- Select Sharing across profiles.
- From the Share from section, pick your Instagram or Facebook profile.
- Toggle On/Off Automatically Share for your posts or stories.

Yes, you can have multiple Instagram accounts under one login. Though you can use only one account at a time, you can switch between accounts per your requirements.
You can keep different profile pictures on both accounts. Go to Accounts Center → Profiles → Choose your name → Profile picture → Toggle off Sync profile picture. So, when you update your profile picture, it won’t be updated everywhere.
When you disconnect your Facebook and Instagram accounts, you can’t enjoy cross-sharing posts and stories, discover mutual friends on both platforms, and have a quick login facility.
No, the Facebook posts remain visible even after you unlink your Instagram account from Facebook. You have to manually remove posts automatically shared to Facebook.
