How to automatically post your Instagram photos as Twitter photos

They need to click the Instagram link to view the photo. It used to work a couple of years ago, but Instagram has disabled photo integration with Twitter. The good news is that there's a workaround. <!--break--></p> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/how-automatically-post-instagram-photos-twitter' title="How to automatically post your Instagram photos as Twitter photos"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large_wm_blw/public/field/image/2015/08/iphone-twitter-images-instagram-1.jpg?itok=UXy1eM39' />[/url]</p> <p>While tweeting links to Instagram photos is still possible, you can no longer view the photos on Twitter. The workaround is to use an IFTTT (ifttt.com (http://ifttt.com/)) recipe that automatically posts your Instagrams as Twitter photos.</p> <p>When you post on Instagram, the photos will show up in your Twitter feed as full images rather than just links.</p> <h3>How to set up IFTTT to post your Instagrams as Twitter photos.</h3> <p><strong>1.</strong> Sign in or sign up to IFTTT (ifttt.com (http://ifttt.com/)) and then go to this IFTTT recipe page (https://ifttt.com/recipes/103249-automatically-post-your-instagrams-as-twitter-photos)</p> <p><strong>2.</strong> Use the connect buttons to connect IFTTT with your Instagram and Twitter accounts.</p> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/how-automatically-post-instagram-photos-twitter' title="How to automatically post your Instagram photos as Twitter photos"><img src='(http://www.imore.com/sites/wpcentral.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2015/08/connect-twitter-instagram-scn.jpg)?itok=9xgjQt7s' />[/url]</p> <p><strong>3.</strong> Tap or click the <strong>Add</strong> button.</p> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/how-automatically-post-instagram-photos-twitter' title="How to automatically post your Instagram photos as Twitter photos"><img src='(http://www.imore.com/sites/wpcentral.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2015/08/connect-twitter-instagram-add.jpg)?itok=kZsftqkl' />[/url]</p> <p><strong>4.</strong> After the recipe has been added, tap your IFTTT username on the top right corner and go to <strong>Preferences</strong>. Alternatively, you can use this link (https://ifttt.com/preferences/settings). Uncheck the option <strong>Auto shorten URLs.</strong> This makes sure that your tweets show instagram.com URLs instead of ift.tt.</p> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/how-automatically-post-instagram-photos-twitter' title="How to automatically post your Instagram photos as Twitter photos"><img src='(http://www.imore.com/sites/wpcentral.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2015/08/ifttt-shorten-url.png)?itok=7a0PV-Qx' />[/url]</p> <p>That's it! Next time you post a photo on Instagram, make sure to uncheck the Twitter option in the app because IFTTT will already automatically tweet it for you. Now your Twitter followers can both see a link to your Instagram link and a preview of the actual photo within their timeline. You are done. High five!</p> <p>Will you be using this IFTTT recipe to show image previews or are you happy with just showing the Instagram URL in your tweets? Let us know in the comments!</p> </div></div></div><br clear='all'/>
