This wikiHow 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.
Steps

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.
-
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.Advertisement

Click Settings and privacy. This option is near the bottom of the drop-down menu.
-
Click the Apps tab. You'll find it on the left side of the page.
-
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.
-
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].

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