Twitter\u2019s iOS app has been updated to let anyone quickly and easily share tweets to their Instagram Story, Twitter has announced. The feature works using the iOS share sheet: just tap the share icon underneath any tweet, and select \u201cInstagram Stories\u201d from the list of apps. Once in Instagram, the tweet can be resized, re-positioned, and adorned with the image service\u2019s standard selection of text, stickers, music, and annotations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course, you\u2019ve always had the option of screenshotting tweets and manually uploading them into an Instagram Story. But the new interface makes the process a lot easier, and the results are slicker. However, it seems to work better with text- and image-based tweets for now \u2014 I tried the feature out on a tweet with an embedded video, and found Instagram imported it as a static image.

While it\u2019s now easier to share tweets to Instagram, it\u2019s still just as hard to share Instagram content to Twitter. Posting an Instagram link on Twitter still shows up as just a plain URL, without a preview card. The functionality disappeared way back in 2012, and shows no sign of returning anytime soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Twitter\u2019s official integration with Instagram Stories follows similar functionality added to Snapchat last year. Like the Snapchat integration, Twitter is only making the new sharing feature available to iOS users for now, and it hasn\u2019t mentioned when it might be available on Android.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
