Instagram: can it be posted to Facebook Groups?

Post by simonmlewis »

We have a Facebook Group to which two people are admins, and nearly 5,000 people are members.

We now have Instagram. We see we can upload to it and it automatically adds to our Twitter account (which has a feed on our homepage brilliantly).
But don't see how to add it to the Facebook Group, when a group doesn't have a particular login - it works via individual admin accounts. So if you like the Instagram account to your admin Facebook account (that has the Group access) it posts it only on your own timeline - not the Facebook Group.

Is it possible to post it from Instagram to the Facebook group, such as thru a Facebook Instagram App??

I'm guessing the answer is - it can't. It can be posted only to Pages.
We use a Group for many reasons, one being that users can post their own comments, and have them moderated.

Damn shame Instagram doesn't post directly to it.

I don't think that it is possible to post from Instagram to the Facebook group. I was also looking to find same kind of thing when I made my Instagram account but couldn't find any option :(

Hi Tayla6. Thanks for that. I appears you can do it with a 'Page', but not a 'Group'.
At least we know. Have to do it manually instead.
