The Facebook-Instagram-Messenger ecosystem is massive, and if you have an account on one platform, there's a good chance you have an account on another. In Instagram's case, you might even have multiple accounts – whether it's public or a private "finsta."

There are several ways to link all these accounts together, which can make it easier to log into and switch between them. But if you want to unlink these accounts, which can help keep your data and information more secure, it only takes a few taps.

Here's how to unlink multiple Instagram accounts, or unlink your Instagram from Facebook.
