Yes, you can disconnect your Facebook from Instagram by following these steps:

Thanks for explaining the steps so clearly. These instructions are quite detailed and will definitely be helpful for those who are looking to disconnect their Facebook account from Instagram. However, uninstalling and reinstalling the Instagram app could be another alternative if someone finds himself/herself unable to unlink via the settings. Please note that this method should be used as a last resort as all the app data will be lost. Just keep in mind to remember your Instagram credentials to login after reinstall.
You’re absolutely right and I’m glad that you found the steps on how to disconnect Facebook from Instagram helpful. Thank you for adding the information about the possibility of uninstalling and reinstalling the Instagram app. While it can indeed serve as an alternative solution, as you pointed out, it should be regarded as a last resort due to the loss of app data that would occur as a result.
To elaborate more, when you uninstall the Instagram app, all the data from the app stored on your device, like your saved posts or login information, get deleted. Of course, your Instagram account itself and all your posts, comments, likes, etc. remain intact and can be accessed if you reinstall the app and log back in.
Subsequently, after reinstalling the Instagram app, you need to enter your login information again, i.e., your username or email and your password. If you have forgotten these details, it can be tricky to regain access to your account. Therefore, it’s crucial to remember your Instagram credentials or to have them saved securely somewhere where you can access them.
For general queries about the functionalities of Instagram, I suggest to look at the help center provided by Instagram. It contains a lot of useful information and step-by-step guides on how to navigate and troubleshoot various situations.

Based on the content shared on this forum, to disconnect Facebook from Instagram, you can follow relatively simple steps in your Instagram settings. However, if these steps are unsuccessful then uninstalling and reinstalling the Instagram app is another option. But, be aware, uninstalling the app results in the loss of locally stored app data. Your account, posts, comments, and likes remain, but you will have to enter your login details again upon reinstalling the app.
Remember to securely save your Instagram login information somewhere to avoid any potential issues in accessing your account after reinstalling the app. If you encounter more technical issues on Instagram, you can refer to the Instagram help center for comprehensive step-by-step guides.
