Link Instagram to Twitter: Connecting your Instagram account with Twitter allows you to share your Instagram images straight via your Twitter account. Sadly, this option is only available for your iOS 7 device, so if you're making use of Android, you're out of good luck. You can manually cut or reconnect the accounts with your Setups application, but this hassle-free control just appears after you first attach both accounts via the Instagram application.


Link Instagram to Twitter


Creating the Link

Opening your profile in the Instagram application, choosing the gear icon and also choosing "Share Settings" provides a checklist of accounts with which you could share. Tapping "Twitter" then confirming your selection enables you to show to Twitter. Even if you have actually previously done this, the choice to toggle the link on or off might not constantly show up in the Settings application. You could settle that issue by tapping "Twitter" from the Instagram app's Share Settings, picking "Unlink" and then reconnecting the accounts. When connected, choose "Twitter" from apple iphone's Settings application to discover the slider that toggles the link.


More suggestions ...

Once, it was simple to share your Instagram photos by means of Twitter. However these days, sharing your Instagram images directly to Twitter simply tweets out a boring old web link, not that fav-worthy picture you just took.

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

IFTTT, short for "If This Then That" is a program that lets you produce "triggers" for your different apps. IFTTT has great deals of excellent applications, yet among them is sharing Instagram pictures natively on Twitter once more.

To do so, you can develop a dish-- IFTTT's name for its triggers-- for uploading a picture to Twitter each time you take a photo with Instagram.

Initially, visit IFTTT's site and produce an account. After that, visit this link and activate the recipe. You'll after that be asked to trigger your Twitter and also Instagram accounts, which you must proceed and do. After that, the service will essentially connect those two accounts, sending a tweet every single time you upload a brand-new image to Instagram.

A few caveats: This setup can be a little slow-moving, so stress not if your images do not appear on Twitter instantly after you post them on Instagram. As well as if you intend to temporarily turn off the auto-posting, download and install IFTTT's mobile application, which allows you turn dishes on and off on a whim.
