How can I make Instagram photos shared to Facebook visible to my friends by default?

When I share photos from Instagram to Facebook (using the Instagram app on iOS), by default they get "Only Me" sharing visibility:

That doesn't seem very useful to me - I'd rather my friends saw them. In fact, Instagram's help page says that is what is supposed to happen.

How can I fix this? How can I make these photos visible to my friends by default?


Solution 1:

As Andrew Ferrier stated in the comments to the question, this is indeed a part of Facebook's privacy settings. Here is how you set it to share to "Friends" by default:

  1. Go to your Facebook.com.
  2. Find the page to edit your Instagram settings.
    • this should be on YourLinkToTimelinePage/app_instapp
    • or you should be able to find it at https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=applications
    • or in the timeline menu under your profile picture, find it in More
  3. Change your App visibility and post audience setting to Friends

    This setting controls who on Facebook can see that you use this app. It also allows you to choose the audience for posts the app makes on your behalf.

Hope this helps you.
