Users who actively use Instagram and VK services have a convenient option available – the ability to link Instagram to VK using various devices. The process simplifies the procedure for publishing a new post immediately in both profiles. The article provides a list of the main ways to merge profiles.
Why link Instagram with VK: benefits
Owners of any pages can synchronize profiles. The condition is an active account, which applies to both commercial and personal profiles.
Reasons to merge accounts:
- For automatic posting of publications from one social network to the feed of another;
- To save photos and videos in a VK album;
- The publication is posted with the caption that was written under the post, so there is no need to repeat the text;
- To find acquaintances, when a friend from VK appears on Instagram, the page owner receives a notification of registration;
