Change the category in the Instagram through Facebook

The category in Instagram is very important for entrepreneurs and other people using the social network Instagram for business. Thanks to the business category, the user can view his detailed statistics, encourage people to contact someone through the profile, publish product advertisements and easily encourage users to visit the site by posting his address in the profile.

The category shows in the person's profile his kind of activity or company with the exact location. And in general, the type of profile is important for mapping the activities of a person or his organization. Agree, it's very stupid when a person is engaged in advertising himself, but in the profile he says "Collector's items" or nothing at all? To fix this, you need to change or add the category of your profile to Instagram, and this is done only through the social network Facebook, as its office bought our favorite Instagram.

How to link a page to Facebook?

To change the category we need to first link the page of our company from Facebook to Instagram. Create a new page in Facebook or go to the already registered (it is desirable that this page was access only us, because through it you can do a lot of mess in Instagram). Then we point to a small arrow at the top right of the blue header of the site. Pointing to the button, select the first line "Create Page".

A number of possible companies appear, from which one should choose the one most suitable to you (this choice will directly affect the display of the status of the account in Instagram, it is necessary to choose exactly what you want to see in your own profile).

After creating the page, go directly to Instagram itself and link the page we created to it. To do this, go to the Instagram profile, then click on the three dots on the top.

Choose "Switch to company profile" and tie the desired community from Facebook to your business profile.

Note that for this action the community should be public, not closed (the page is created as a public page, this point should be fixed only if you do not understand why you closed the group yourself).

Now, when the page is tied to the desired profile and we have a category specified, we need to find out how to change it (do this unlimited number of times)? To do this, go to the Facebook site and go to the account that was tied to the account. We go to the previously created community with information about the company. To do this, on the main Facebook page, point to the arrow on the top right of the blue cap and in the appeared window click on your company (their list appears immediately after the arrow and are displayed by name). Then your company page opens:

Now click on the three dots opposite the "Like", "Subscribe" and "Share" rectangular buttons, they are located under the group header, to the left of the big blue "Send message" button:

In this menu, choose "Edit" and pops up a large window with various settings:

Uh ... we are only interested in the category, it's easy to spot it among all the other junk. By the way, you can bind up to three categories to the page. Only do it wisely, otherwise the ban can fly. I think you understand that the institution can not be both an apostolic church, a nightclub strip club and a flower growing factory? It is desirable to select one item at all, so it will be correctly displayed in Instagram. Enter the appropriate words to your organization and select the most appropriate items. As they say in the office of Facebook, there may not be a point that is completely suitable for your activity, in which case, specify the most plausible option.

After all the manipulations, please scroll down this dialog box and click on the button at the bottom "See All Information", which means to save all the information entered earlier.

You can also open the entire menu on the left (under the avatar of the page) and select the category in the "Information" item, and again do not forget to save by clicking the blue "Save" button.

Now after some time in Instagram, the information will be updated and displayed correctly.

How to change the category in Facebook for Instagram via smartphone?

Unfortunately, in the official Facebook application, you can not change the profile view, so to change it you'll have to use a browser with the ability to display the page in a desktop view (like on a computer). Download any popular browser from the official Google Play store and through it go to Facebook, then somewhere in the bowels of that same browser, find the full page display. You can download Yandex.Browser, Firefox or Apus Browser - they show the full view in the menu on the main page, it's very convenient for us. Just do not forget to remove from the link to the facebook at the beginning of the letter "m", indicating that the page in the mobile version.

Voilà! Now in your smartphone Facebook looks exactly the same as on a PC, and even the features have all been preserved. Now we are doing everything the same as in the title, which talked about the method on the computer.
