Steps to convert IG profile to IG business profile
Check If Your Instagram Account Is Connected To The Correct Facebook Page
It is extremely necessary to check if you have connected your Instagram account to the right Facebook page. While the settings may show as connected on Facebook, you should still choose to verify the connection from Instagram’s end as well.
To verify:
Go to your profile and click on Edit Profile
Check the name of the connected Facebook Page in the Public Business Information section
Confirm that the correct Facebook Page is connected
If the correct page is not connected, tap on the connected page, tap Change or create page
Choose the correct Facebook page that you want to connect and tap on Done
Note that if in case the connected Page appears to have the correct name but has no profile photo, the connected Page is most likely the one that Instagram created itself while you were converting to a Business Profile. This could be resolved by tapping on the Page that includes your profile photo.
If there are no traces of the correct Facebook Page at all, log into the Facebook Page to which you have admin access using Facebook's mobile app. If this process still does not show the correct Page, you’ll need to check whether you have access to the page and whether it is partial or full control access.
If no page is connected, please connect your Instagram Account to the relevant Facebook Page
Check If You Have Full Control Access In Facebook Business Manager
In order to connect your profile to Statusbrew, you must have Full Control access in Facebook Business Manager. To check this, go to People in Facebook Business Settings and check all the users added under People and their access permissions over here. If you’re not added here or you have partial access, contact the Page Owner or someone with full access to help in connecting the profile to Statusbrew.
