Twitter recently updated the iOS version of its app to allow users to quickly and easily share tweets to their Instagram Stories. The new feature was in the works since last year and aimed at helping people regularly share tweets on Instagram.
The update will allow users to share their tweets by tapping the share icon underneath the tweet, then select “Instagram Stories” from the list of apps. A new Story draft will then be created on the app. You can then open the Story draft and customise it to your liking, including resizing, repositioning, and adorning it with the regular selection of text, music, stickers, etc.
While the update does make it easier to upload tweets onto your Instagram Stories, you could always share tweets on Instagram by taking screenshots of them by resizing them.
The Verge also noted that the new feature works better with “text- and image-based tweets for now”, while not working out too well with an embedded video. For now, the feature is limited to iOS, Twitter hasn’t mentioned when it will be available on Android.
Twitter added a similar share feature last year that offered Snapchat integration for iOS users. Sharing Instagram Stories on Twitter is still the same. Lastly, users won’t be able to share protected tweets.
