Why is there no option to register with Instagram in a campaign?

1. Login with Instagram: implications for campaigns.

2. UGC campaigns (user-generated content).

In December 2024, Facebook retired its old login method, called Instagram Basic Display API, and introduced a new one in its place.

This change affects the Instagram login option for registering to a campaign, which has some limitations we explain below.

1. Login with Instagram: implications for campaigns.

In the 'Registration' section of the campaign editor, you'll find the "Login with Instagram" option available.

Keep in mind that, if you enable it in your campaign, only users with a professional Instagram account (business accounts or content creators) will be able to take part with their Instagram account.

2. UGC campaigns (user-generated content).

If you're planning a photo or video contest on Instagram where users need to log in with Instagram to select a post from their profile, given the limitations for business accounts, we recommend not using the Instagram registration option.

Instead, you can use the "Ask the participant to select one of their Instagram posts" option. Participants connect their Instagram account through the participation form to select their post.

If you want to set up this kind of campaign, see the tutorial: How to create a photo contest on Instagram.
