How to Connect Instagram to Twitter

How To Connect Instagram To Twitter: Connecting your Instagram account with Twitter enables you to share your Instagram photos straight with your Twitter account. Sadly, this option is only offered for your iOS 7 device, so if you're making use of Android, you run out luck. You can manually sever or reconnect the accounts via your Setups application, however this convenient control just shows up after you initially link the two accounts via the Instagram application.

How To Connect Instagram To Twitter

Creating the Connection

Opening your profile in the Instagram app, picking the gear icon and also choosing "Share Settings" offers a checklist of accounts with which you can share. Tapping "Twitter" and afterwards confirming your choice enables you to show Twitter. Even if you have actually previously done this, the option to toggle the connection on or off may not always appear in the Settings application. You can settle that problem by tapping "Twitter" from the Instagram app's Share Settings, choosing "Unlink" and after that reconnecting the accounts. When connected, choose "Twitter" from iPhone's Settings app to discover the slider that toggles the connection.

More pointers ...

In the past, it was easy to share your Instagram photos through Twitter. However these days, sharing your Instagram images straight to Twitter simply tweets out a dull old link, not that fav-worthy photo you just took.

No worries-- there's a very easy fix.

IFTTT, short for "If This Then That" is a program that allows you develop "triggers" for your different applications. IFTTT has lots of terrific applications, yet one of them is sharing Instagram images natively on Twitter again.

To do so, you could create a dish-- IFTTT's name for its triggers-- for posting a picture to Twitter whenever you take an image with Instagram.

First, visit IFTTT's website and also develop an account. Then, visit this link and trigger the recipe. You'll after that be asked to trigger your Twitter and Instagram accounts, which you should proceed and do. Then, the service will essentially link those 2 accounts, sending out a tweet every single time you post a new picture to Instagram.

A couple of caveats: This configuration can be a little slow, so worry not if your photos don't appear on Twitter immediately after you post them on Instagram. As well as if you intend to momentarily turn off the auto-posting, download and install IFTTT's mobile app, which allows you transform recipes on and off on a whim.
