How to post a tweet on instagram story

  • You can add tweets to your Instagram Story quickly and easily if you have an iPhone — but note that this feature is not available for all iPhone users at this time.
  • Once you've added a tweet to your Instagram Story, you can resize it and move it around before sharing.

It's fun to share tweets on Instagram, but the process of screenshotting tweets and uploading them to a different platform can be tedious and tiresome. Fortunately, Twitter is testing a new feature that allows iPhone users to add tweets to Instagram Stories in the blink of an eye.

How to add a tweet to your Instagram Story

You can add a tweet to your Instagram Story as long as the tweet you're trying to share is public. That means it must be visible to the general public on Twitter, not something that was posted to a private or protected account. You will also need to be logged in to your Instagram and Twitter accounts on the device you're using. Keep in mind that this method currently only works for some iPhone users at this time.

1. On the Twitter app, locate the tweet you wish to share to your Instagram Story.

2. On the tweet you wish to share, tap on the "Share" icon, which resembles an arrow pointing upward.

3. In the menu that appears, underneath the Instagram icon, tap on "Instagram Stories."

4. The Twitter app will now disappear. In its place, the Instagram app will open a new draft for an Instagram Story.

5. You can now interact with the shared tweet as though it is a sticker. You can move it around by tapping and dragging the tweet, or you can resize it by swiping your fingers together or apart.

6. Put the finishing touches on your Instagram Story as you'd like it to appear. Then, you can choose to share it with all of your Instagram followers, a single person, or a group of multiple Instagram users.

So, let’s start with the procedure. We have two ways that can be used for the same:

Using Cropped Tweet Screenshot

The first method is by using the screenshot of the tweet that you want to share on Instagram and adding that screenshot from the gallery to the story.

Here are the steps to this process: 

  1. Launch the Twitter app on your Android device.
  2. Now capture a screenshot of the tweet from your Twitter account that you want to post to your Instagram Stories.
  3. Use any photo editing tool to crop the tweet after that. Crop the screenshot in a way that only the tweet is visible. 
  4. Then, launch the Instagram app.
  5. Now, swipe towards the right on your homepage to open the Camera. 
  6. At the lower left of the screen, you will see a Photos icon, tap on it.
  7. Choose the cropped version of the tweet that you edited earlier from the gallery. 
  8. To share the tweet on Instagram Stories, tap the Send button now.

Using Photo Library Sticker

Another method to add a tweet to your Instagram story is by using the “Add yours” sticker on Instagram, which enables you to add a photo from your gallery and add a colorful background as well.

Here are the steps to this method: 

  1. Open the Instagram app on your device.
  2. Now, from the home screen, swipe right to open the camera. 
  3. Either click a random photo on your camera or choose a random photo from your gallery (from the Gallery icon that appears at the bottom left corner when you open your camera on Instagram). 
  4. Then, tap on the drawing tool icon located at the top-right side of the story screen. Choose a color that you want in the background of your story. Most users choose white, or black.  
  5. And to change the background color, long-press on the screen with the drawing tool. 
  6. Swipe up to select the photo sticker, and then, choose the cropped tweet from the gallery.
