To unlink Instagram from Facebook, open the Instagram app on your iOS or Android device, go to your profile, tap the three-line menu, select Settings, navigate to Privacy and Security, then Linked Accounts, and tap Facebook to unlink it, confirming your action.

To fully sever the link, open Facebook via a web browser, go to Settings > Apps, find Instagram, and click Remove App—checking Delete all your Instagram activities if you want to erase related posts—then confirm the removal.
