How to use Instagram to share with other social networks

If you’re an Instagram user, there’s a good chance it isn’t the only social network that you post to. The app makes it very easy to send your post to a few other social networks — including Facebook (which owns Instagram).

Here’s how you do it through the iPhone app (the Android app is very similar):

Connect your social networks

To share Instagram photos to other social networks, you’ll need to link those accounts.

From the Instagram home screen, tap your profile icon, followed by the menu icon in the top right.
Select Settings > Account > Sharing to other apps.
Select the account you want to link and enter your login information. You can link a number of networks, including Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr. (If you’re linking to Facebook, the app may already have the information to your account since, as mentioned before, both Facebook and Instagram are part of the same company.)

Instagram’s “sharing to other apps” page — *The social networks you can share with can vary depending on your account and country.*

Twitter authorization page — *Once you choose a network, you’ll be invited to link it to Instagram.*

Post your photo to Instagram and other social networks

Now, you can set it so that when your photo posts to Instagram, it will post to other social media accounts as well:

In the Instagram app, select the plus sign at the top of the screen. Select Post and then choose the image you want to share (or take a new photo). Tap Next.
Apply whatever filters and edits you want to the photo. Tap Next.

Instagram home page with post drop-down menu — *On your Instagram home page, select the Plus sign and “Post.”*

Instagram edit page — *Once you’re happy with your photo, select “Next.”*

On the final screen before the photo posts, you’ll have the option to write a caption, tag people, and add a location. You’ll also see a list of the current major social media services — Facebook, Twitter, and Tumbler — along with any others you’ve linked to your Instagram account.
Toggle on all of the social networks to which you want to post the photo. If you haven’t connected that particular network yet, you’ll be invited to do it at this point.

New post Instagram page — *After selecting a photo to share, you’ll be able to choose which network to share it to.*

Advanced settings page — *If you choose Advanced Settings on the New Post page, you can automatically share all your photos to Facebook.*

If you select Advanced settings (which is right after the list of social media services), you can arrange to have your photos and videos automatically post to Facebook.

The hidden cost of food delivery

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
