Tap the menu (three lines, top right).

Tap Switch to professional account.
Select Business as the type.
Choose the category that best fits your business.

Step 2: Connect Instagram to a Facebook Page
To work with Munch Studio, your Instagram business account must be linked to a Facebook Page ā not a personal profile.
To check if itās a Page, look for:
A āManage Pageā button, or
Follow/Like buttons.
If you only have a personal profile, youāll need to create a new Facebook Page for your business (you canāt convert a personal profile into a Page).
Step 3: Confirm Admin Permissions
You need to be an Admin on both your Instagram and your connected Facebook Page.
To check on Facebook:
Go to Settings > Page settings > Page access.
Find your name. If it says Admin or Full Control, youāre set.
ā¶ļø Check admin permissions
