How To Remove A Facebook Ad Account From Instagram (5 Steps)

You can remove your Facebook ad account from Instagram within the Instagram app. This is a critical movement if you want to separate payment methods for Instagram and Facebook ads or if the linked ad account is not functioning normally. 

To unlink your Facebook ad account and Instagram page entirely, follow these steps:

Step 1: Open Instagram account settings

First, Open the Instagram mobile app and log in to your account.

Next, go to your profile page.

Now tap More (3-line icon) at the top right to open your Instagram account’s Settings dashboard.

Step 2: Go to Business Tools and Controls

In the Settings and Activity dashboard, scroll down a bit and tap on the Business Tools and Controls option.

Step 3: Navigate to Ad Payments

Select the Ad Payments option located right at the top of the screen.

Step 4: Select Billing & Payments

Tap the Billing & Payment option. You can see the linked Facebook ad payment account and related info here.

Step 5: Remove Facebook ad account

Tap Your Account and deselect the current Facebook ad account. This also makes your Instagram account the default choice for ad payment.

Even when your Facebook ad account is removed, you can still run ads on Instagram independently. The easiest way to completely halt advertising on Instagram is to change your account type from professional to personal.
