Creating the Connection

Opening your profile in the Instagram app, choosing the gear icon and picking "Share Settings" provides a checklist of accounts with which you could share. Touching "Twitter" and afterwards confirming your choice allows you to show to Twitter. Even if you have actually formerly done this, the option to toggle the link on or off may not constantly show up in the Settings application. You can resolve that concern by tapping "Twitter" from the Instagram app's Share Settings, choosing "Unlink" and then reconnecting the accounts. Once attached, choose "Twitter" from iPhone's Settings app to discover the slider that toggles the connection.

Even more tips ...

Once upon a time, it was simple to share your Instagram images via Twitter. Yet these days, sharing your Instagram images straight to Twitter simply tweets out a dull old web link, not that fav-worthy photo you simply took.

No concerns-- there's a very easy solution.

IFTTT, brief for "If This Then That" is a program that allows you create "triggers" for your numerous applications. IFTTT has lots of terrific applications, yet among them is sharing Instagram pictures natively on Twitter once more.

To do so, you can produce a dish-- IFTTT's name for its triggers-- for publishing a photo to Twitter whenever you take an image with Instagram.

First, go to IFTTT's website and also develop an account. After that, visit this link and trigger the dish. You'll after that be asked to activate your Twitter and Instagram accounts, which you ought to proceed and also do. Then, the service will essentially connect those 2 accounts, sending out a tweet every time you upload a brand-new picture to Instagram.

A few caveats: This setup can be a little slow, so stress not if your photos don't show up on Twitter instantly after you post them on Instagram. And also if you wish to briefly turn off the auto-posting, download and install IFTTT's mobile application, which allows you transform dishes on and off on a whim.
