Connect Meta: Facebook Page, Instagram and Meta Ads

Updated

The short answer

Tap the Facebook Page tile to sign in with Facebook. It brings in your Pages and each Page's linked Instagram business account. Tap Meta Ads for a separate Facebook sign-in for your ad accounts. Meta logins last about 60 days, so Cosmo asks you to reconnect a week before they run out.

Connecting

  1. Go to Connections → Your accounts.
  2. Facebook Page: sign in with Facebook and allow access to your Pages. Each Page's linked Instagram business account comes with it.
  3. Meta Ads: a second Facebook sign-in, just for ad accounts.

Both are stored as one Facebook connection.

Picking accounts

Cosmo finds your Pages, Instagram accounts and ad accounts. Picking a Page also picks its linked Instagram account, unless you chose a different one. Use Change on a tile to switch.

Every ad card names the ad account (and Page) it will touch. Cosmo refuses to use an account your own sign-in didn't return. See Ads safety.

Instagram without Facebook

If your Instagram account isn't linked to a Facebook Page, use the Instagram-only sign-in. See Connect Instagram.

Reconnecting

Meta sign-ins can't be refreshed, so they end after about 60 days. Seven days before that, the tile shows "Needs reconnecting". Tap Reconnect and sign in again. Page access itself doesn't expire.

FAQ

Questions

My Instagram doesn't show up after connecting Facebook.

Only Instagram business or creator accounts linked to a Facebook Page come through Facebook. Link it to your Page in Instagram's settings, or use the Instagram-only sign-in.

Does disconnecting the Facebook Page also remove Meta Ads?

Yes. Both live in one Facebook connection, so tapping Disconnect on either removes both.
