Users can now seamlessly open Instagram directly from Facebook. The company confirms the rollout of a new menu on the Facebook mobile app, including a link connected to Instagram accounts.

Following the new interface update, Facebook introduces a feature integrated within the app allowing users to quickly access Instagram. This option is located right below the personal profile link within the Facebook app and on links leading to Facebook pages you manage.

Clicking on this link will launch the Instagram app on your mobile device, taking you to the main Instagram feed, just like when you open the Instagram app from the home screen.

A spokesperson for Facebook responded to TechCrunch saying: “we are working on a solution to keep users connected with their friends on both Facebook and Instagram”. “Facebook users will be able to see how many of their friends are active on Instagram”.

This is not the first time Facebook has experimented with merging attributes of applications. In May, the company tested a feature displaying notifications from other apps and allowed users to switch directly between applications.

Switching between multiple apps is displayed when users tap on the profile icon at the top corner of Facebook, Messenger, or Instagram.

Amidst the fierce battle between Instagram and Snapchat, this change holds significant meaning. The company will strive to promote Facebook to increase the number of users accessing Instagram.
