How to find Facebook friends on Instagram and follow them
1. Open your Instagram app on your iPhone or Android.
2. Head to your profile, and tap the three horizontal line menu located at the top-right corner of the screen.
3. After the drop-up box appears, tap on "Discover People" on the top of the screen, you will see a "Connect to Facebook" option, tap "Connect" and log into your Facebook account.
4. After you connect to Facebook, head back to your Instagram profile, tap the horizontal line menu button and "Discover People" again. You will find users you know on Facebook appearing as suggested accounts to follow.
Keep in mind that these steps may not always prompt the Facebook friends list on your Instagram due to the fact that your Facebook friends are either not on Instagram or that you have already followed them on Instagram (or it could be a bug problem with your Instagram app).
In either case, you would want to make sure that you connect your Facebook and Instagram accounts so that you have the option to see the list of suggested Facebook friends to follow.
