Limit Your Instagram-Facebook Interaction
If you want to keep some Instagram-Facebook connection, there are customization options. For example, you can stop sharing your posts automatically.
In either the Instagram app or the Facebook app, go to the Accounts Center and click on Sharing Across Profiles. Select your profile, then use the sliders to turn Automatically Share on or off for your posts or story.
Tip: Tap Logging in with accounts to choose whether you want to share all logins and manage advanced login options.
