Instagram WILL ENABLE ADVERTISERS TO CREATE ADS WITHOUT LINKING TO A Facebook PAGE
There has always been ‘a bond’ between Instagram and Facebook as the first is owned by Facebook Inc. Everything seemed to be logical and quite normal. However, in the light of the latest Facebook shift, the shadow of tumult and misunderstandings arose. What’s the matter? The issue is enrooted in the recently announced Instagram update regarding the ad campaigns on the platform.

Let us just wait and see how the events will unfold.
