Reconnect vs Connect

A connection that has gone bad shows Reconnect instead of Connect — reconnecting renews access without losing your saved settings.

Settings → Accounts & platforms shows Connect on a platform that isn't connected. Press Settings on a connected one's card and its settings open as a page of their own (the arrow and Accounts & platforms at the top take you back). The connection card at the top of that page shows Reconnect whenever the connection has gone bad — an expired token, or a problem the app can name (like Facebook posting being paused, or YouTube connected without permission to upload; see Reconnect YouTube to allow uploads). A healthy connection shows Manage connection instead. TikTok's row under Videos come from shows Reconnect only when the connection needs it; Reconnect TikTok is always on TikTok's own page, under Connection.

Reconnecting keeps your saved settings on that platform — auto-post choice, daily limits, captions, board routing and the rest stay as you left them. It only renews the access itself.

For Facebook, a reconnect can skip the Page list: Facebook may ask Continue as <your name>? and keep your last choice. To change Pages, choose Edit settings instead of Continue (see Connect Facebook and Instagram), then Opt in to current Pages only, and select every Page you post to with EverySqueeze — leaving one out stops posting to it, even a Page you were already using.

If a Page you were posting to doesn't come back on reconnect, Facebook and Instagram posting pauses on purpose rather than silently switching to a different Page. Reconnect again and check that Page, or go to Settings → Accounts & platforms → Facebook and press Choose a Page to pick one of the Pages you did share.

See Facebook/Instagram token expiry and TikTok connection expiry for when a reconnect becomes necessary on its own.
