Are you one of those users who share their photos uploaded to Instagram on Twitter as well? Well, the official Twitter sharing option in the Instagram works pretty well but there’s a catch which you might probably know already. The shared Instagram post on Twitter just has the caption(if given) of the photo and the Instagram link(URL) for it. This is of course not so favorable if you are looking to get more eyeballs on your actual photo. So, here we are with an easy solution to tweet Instagram photos on Twitter with actual picture on Android and iOS.
No one likes to navigate away while using their favorite app. And links do just that. The chances of people clicking on your Instagram photo link are very low. But what if you can show them the actual image. This way you will increase the probability of users clicking on the image URL if they find your picture interesting.
Sounds right?
Okay, then let us go ahead and see how to share Instagram photos on Twitter as native full-size pictures.
