The correct answer to this question is No. Facebook is not required to sign up for Instagram. While it is not required, the user does have the option to use their Facebook to create an Instagram account. This will link the two platforms together, so when a post is done on Instagram, it will be automatically shared on Facebook. Creating an account with Facebook will also allow the users to see their friend's usernames on Instagram and be able to follow them. If one doesn't have a Facebook, they can sign up with an email address or by using their phone number. From there, all that is required is a unique password.

No is the correct answer to this question, as FaceBook is not required to create an Instagram account. Though not a requirement, if a person already has a Facebook account, they can use this account to create an Instagram account. All they would need to do when prompted by Instagram is to log in with their Facebook credentials.

This helps the user in linking their existing page to their new page and allows them to see the profiles from their friends on FaceBook on Instagram. If the user doesn't have a Facebook, all they would need is either a phone number or email to sign up with,
