Connect Twitter and Instagram: Connecting your Instagram account with Twitter allows you to share your Instagram images directly through your Twitter account. Sadly, this alternative is just readily available for your iOS 7 device, so if you're making use of Android, you're out of good luck. You could manually sever or reconnect the accounts via your Setups app, however this convenient control just shows up after you first attach both accounts through the Instagram app.


Connect Twitter and Instagram


Creating the Connection

Opening your profile in the Instagram app, selecting the gear icon and selecting "Share Settings" offers a listing of accounts with which you could share. Touching "Twitter" and after that confirming your option allows you to show Twitter. Even if you've previously done this, the choice to toggle the link on or off might not always appear in the Settings app. You can solve that issue by touching "Twitter" from the Instagram app's Share Settings, selecting "Unlink" and then reconnecting the accounts. Once connected, pick "Twitter" from iPhone's Settings app to discover the slider that toggles the link.


Even more pointers ...

In the past, it was very easy to share your Instagram images by means of Twitter. However nowadays, sharing your Instagram images directly to Twitter just tweets out a monotonous old link, not that fav-worthy picture you simply took.

No fears-- there's a simple repair.

IFTTT, short for "If This Then That" is a program that lets you develop "triggers" for your various applications. IFTTT has lots of excellent applications, yet one of them is sharing Instagram photos natively on Twitter again.

To do so, you can create a recipe-- IFTTT's name for its triggers-- for publishing a picture to Twitter each time you take a picture with Instagram.

Initially, browse through IFTTT's website and produce an account. Then, visit this link and activate the dish. You'll after that be asked to trigger your Twitter and also Instagram accounts, which you need to go on and do. Then, the service will essentially connect those two accounts, sending out a tweet each time you publish a brand-new photo to Instagram.

A couple of caveats: This setup can be a little sluggish, so stress not if your images do not appear on Twitter immediately after you upload them on Instagram. And also if you want to briefly turn off the auto-posting, download IFTTT's mobile application, which allows you transform dishes on and off on a whim.
