Twitter has been working hard since the start of the pandemic to improve its platform with many new features. The company recently launched a Twitter Blue subscription which is currently available to Canadian and Australian users, under which you have the option to cancel your tweets sent to the public. Twitter has also rolled out the new Super Follows and Ticketed Spaces feature that allows you to have exclusive interactions with your favorite creators on Twitter.
In line with the release of new features, Twitter now has the ability to directly share affected tweets to your Instagram stories whenever you want. Previously, you had to take a screenshot and post it to your story as an image. This was quite counterproductive as it would fill up space on your local storage while giving you fewer options to customize how you share your Tweet in your story. With this new feature, you can now share your tweets directly to Instagram stories. Here’s how you can get started.
How to share a tweet as an Instagram story
There are a few restrictions at the moment when it comes to sharing your tweets on Instagram. Mainly the fact that this feature is slowly rolling out to the public and might not be available in some parts of the world at this time. In addition, you will also need the following items mentioned below.
Obligatory
- An iOS 14 or higher device
- iOS Twitter app v8.71 or higher
- Instagram iOS app v193.0 or higher
Guide
Open the Twitter app on your iOS device and navigate to the tweet you want to share in your Instagram story. Now tap the “Share” icon below the tweet.
Tap and select “Instagram Stories” from the share sheet. Twitter will now ask to open Instagram on your iOS device. Press ‘Open’ to confirm your choice.
Instagram will now be opened and the affected Tweet will automatically be added to a new story. You can now press and hold it and move it wherever you want on your screen.
You can also resize your tweet using the pinch gesture you would normally use to zoom in on photos.
Moreover, you can also use the Stickers, Scribble, Music, and Text options at the top to add overlays to your story.
Once you’re done, use one of the options to share your story with your whole audience or with a select few.
And that’s all! You will now have shared a Tweet from Twitter directly to your Instagram story.
We hope you were able to easily share your tweets on Instagram using this method. If you have any questions or run into any issues, feel free to leave a comment below.
