How to connect X to Facebook

Are you looking for how to link X to Facebook? This article teaches you how to connect your Facebook account to your X account in order to post your tweets to Facebook. You'll do this from within X's settings, though it's also possible to use Facebook's settings. To connect your X account to Facebook, you have to use the X website on a computer.

How To Link X to Facebook

Step 1: Open X

Go to https://www.twitter.com/. X will open to your home page if you're already logged in.

If you aren't already logged in, enter your email address (or X username) and password to continue.

Step 2: Click your profile icon

It's in the top-right side of the X page, just left of the Tweet button. A drop-down menu will appear.

Step 3: Click Settings and privacy

This option is near the bottom of the drop-down menu.

Step 4: Click the Apps tab

You'll find it on the left side of the page.

Step 5: Click Connect to Facebook

It's to the right of the Facebook icon at the top of this page.

The Connect to Facebook button will take a second or so to appear.

Step 6: Log into Facebook

Enter your email address and password, click Log in, then click Continue as [Your Name].

If your browser remembers your login credentials, you'll just click Continue as [Name].

Step 7: Click OK

This will allow X to post to your Facebook page. Your X account is now linked to your Facebook account.

If you want to hold off on giving Facebook this permission, click Not Now here.

Frequently Asked Questions

I can't find "Connect to Facebook" button in my apps page on Twitter. Where is it?

A recent update to the Facebook Platform Policies ended the ability to automatically post Tweets to your Facebook profile or page.

How do I get the link to my Facebook profile?

Click on your profile name and wait for it to load. Once the page has loaded, you can copy the link that's on the browser address bar.

Why doesn't the "connect to Facebook" option appear on my page?

Try a different browser. It's usually a Google Chrome issue for me, so when I need to connect, I switch to MS Edge. I think it also works with Firefox.

Tips

You'll have to go through a separate process to connect your Facebook to X, but it's just as easy.

Warnings

Linking X to Facebook can lead to your tweets inundating the News Feed, which may irritate some people.

I hope this helps.
