Just the other day, I wrote a detailed guide on “How to Link Instagram to TikTok” and when you link two things together, there will be a time when you have to unlink them, and you being here, dear reader, means that the time has come. So today, I’m going to explain how you can unlink your Instagram from TikTok.

Easy-mode

                Unlinking Instagram from TikTok:

            Open TikTok > Click on “Profile > Under “social”, click on your Instagram account > Confirm

Steps to Unlink Instagram from TikTok

            Step 1:

            Open TikTok. It looks like a cute little music note.

            Step 2:

            On the right corner of your screen, find the lonely guy called “Profile”. Click on it. Once you are in the newly opened page, click on edit profile.

            Step 3:

            From the “Social” tab, find Instagram and then click on it. Instead of the black area in the picture, you will see the name of your connected Instagram account. If you don’t see any name there, it means that there is no Instagram account connected to your TikTok.

            Once you click on it, a pop-up should come up indicating that this action will unlink your Instagram account. Press “Confirm”.

Advantages of unlinking Instagram from TikTok

            There are some actual advantages to unlinking your two accounts.

            1- As you know TikTok leaves its watermark on your videos, and there are a wide variety of different methods Instagram’s AI uses to suggest certain videos to its users. This watermark can, according to some who are more familiar with the topic, cause a malfunction in the AI, resulting in less views for your video compared to when you had uploaded it separately.

            2- If you are always sharing your videos through TikTok, then there is a chance you are missing your chance to make certain changes to your videos to make the “Instagram-variant” unique – that is, a little bit different than the one you shared on your TikTok. Normally, just having you followed on one platform might be enough to keep up with everything you share; but if you make that small change, people would want to follow you on both platforms so they wouldn’t miss anything at all.

Disadvantages of unlinking Instagram from TikTok

            There can be more disadvantages to unlinking Instagram than there are advantages to it.

            1- Having the two accounts linked can save you a lot of time. If you have to share whatever you content you create on both platforms separately, you are going to have to do everything twice.

            2- There is always a chance that you might forget to upload your TikTok content on your Instagram account. Having them linked however, will ensure such thing wouldn’t happen.

            3- There are many people who are only active on one platform. By posting on both platforms, you are sure to attract their attention as well. It means that unlinking your accounts is equal to lowering your chance to be seen. (I mean your videos)

            4- There is no particular reason why you should unlink the two accounts. (Almost!) If you don’t want to share a certain video on Instagram when you are about to share it on your TikTok, simply don’t choose the option to share it on Instagram.
