How to share a tweet on Instagram Stories?

Step 1: Install the Instagram app on your device and log into your account.

Step 2: Open up Twitter for iOS app. Tap the share icon on a public tweet.

Step 3: Tap the Instagram icon.

Step 4: Your Twitter for iOS app will close, and a new Story draft on your Instagram app will open.

Step 5: The tweet you want to share will appear as a moveable and resizable sticker to share on Instagram Stories.

Step 6: You can share the tweet with a single person, a group, or all of your followers.

 

Users need to note that they will not be able to share any protected tweets using the new feature. Currently, Twitter also does not allow Android users to share tweets on Instagram Stories. Android users can only share tweet links in Instagram DMs.

As per a report by ANI, notable reverse-engineering guru Jane Manchun Wong has also noted that once you share a tweet on IG Stories, the card doesn't really give you an option of opening the tweet on Twitter. So in case you want to open or interact with that tweet, you'll still have to open the Twitter app and search your way through.

It is also worth noting though that the share feature only lets users share the tweets to Instagram Stories and not create an Instagram post so if you wanted to share it in your profile, screenshots are still the only way. But nonetheless, this update brings the ease of sharing tweets on Instagram Stories and may help users limit clutter in their photo gallery that comes with various tweet screenshots, as per a report by ANI.
