How to Link Instagram with Twitter

How To Link Instagram With Twitter: Connecting your Instagram account with Twitter enables you to share your Instagram pictures straight via your Twitter account. Unfortunately, this option is only available for your iOS 7 device, so if you're using Android, you're out of luck. You can manually cut or reconnect the accounts with your Setups application, but this hassle-free control only shows up after you initially attach both accounts through the Instagram application.

How To Link Instagram With Twitter

Creating the Link

Opening your profile in the Instagram application, picking the gear icon and picking "Share Settings" provides a checklist of accounts with which you could share. Tapping "Twitter" and after that confirming your selection enables you to show Twitter. Even if you've previously done this, the option to toggle the link on or off may not constantly show up in the Settings app. You can resolve that concern by tapping "Twitter" from the Instagram app's Share Settings, choosing "Unlink" then reconnecting the accounts. As soon as attached, pick "Twitter" from iPhone's Settings application to find the slider that toggles the connection.

Even more tips ...

Once upon a time, it was easy to share your Instagram pictures through Twitter. However nowadays, sharing your Instagram pictures directly to Twitter just tweets out a monotonous old link, not that fav-worthy snapshot you just took.

No concerns-- there's an easy solution.

IFTTT, short for "If This Then That" is a program that allows you create "triggers" for your various apps. IFTTT has lots of excellent applications, but one of them is sharing Instagram images natively on Twitter once again.

To do so, you could produce a recipe-- IFTTT's name for its triggers-- for uploading an image to Twitter every time you take a picture with Instagram.

First, see IFTTT's web site as well as develop an account. Then, visit this link and trigger the recipe. You'll after that be asked to trigger your Twitter and also Instagram accounts, which you must proceed and do. Then, the service will essentially link those two accounts, sending out a tweet every single time you upload a new image to Instagram.

A couple of cautions: This configuration can be a little sluggish, so fret not if your pictures do not turn up on Twitter instantly after you publish them on Instagram. As well as if you want to momentarily switch off the auto-posting, download and install IFTTT's mobile application, which lets you transform recipes on and off on an impulse.
