Important Note
Starting in December 2024, Instagram will discontinue the Basic Display API. If your feed is currently connected through a Personal account, it will no longer update after this change. To avoid disruptions, switch to a Business Basic or Business Advanced connection.
By understanding these differences, you can choose the right connection type for your needs and ensure uninterrupted service. If you have any questions or need help switching your connection type, please reach out to our support team.
