Keep in mind, the Tweet will be a non-interactive picture. This means that a reposted video can’t be viewed in Stories. Plus, users can't tap the Tweet and get to Twitter to view the original post, like it, leave a comment, or subscribe to you. If you want users to be able to get from IG Stories to Twitter, you should add the link this way.

There can only be one Link sticker per Story on Instagram. It can direct users to any Twitter page. You can put a link to a tweet, profile, list, Moments, etc.

The user can tap the Instagram Link sticker and get to Twitter, but they will be viewing it unauthorized. If you want to make it easy for a user to like, comment, or subscribe, then you should share a link in this way.

After that, open the IG app. On the Home page, swipe left, then:

  1. Tap the phone gallery.
  2. Select a file for your Story.
  3. Write some text. Write a call to action to motivate users to follow the link.
  4. Tap Done.
  5. Tap the sticker.
  6. Select Link.
  7. Paste the copied link into the URL box.
  8. Tap Done.
  9. Tap continue.

If every of your Tweets is dope, you might have an urge to share them all. But most likely, Instagram users won't appreciate such an abundance of your clever thoughts and memes when watching Stories.

To avoid clogging up Stories, put all your Tweets in one link and add it to your Instagram Stories using the sticker. Whoever wants to see your Tweets can find them by following the link, and whoever doesn't can skip the Story.

A micro landing page is what you need to gather multiple links in one place. Create one on Taplink, then you can add links to any web pages and applications. Moreover, you can create an actual website with photos, videos, music, maps, etc.

As for Twitter, you can add on your micro landing page:

  • Twitter links. There can be as many of them as you want. They can lead to your profile, tweets, lists, and other pages.
  • Tweet widgets. Then users will see your tweets without going to Twitter.

When a user taps a link or Tweet widget buttons on a Taplink page, they get in the Twitter app, where they are logged in. The only thing the user has to do is tap Follow, like, repost or write the comment they wanted.

You'll gain followers and likes faster if you direct users to Twitter from your micro landing page. Since users can subscribe and like in one click, they will do both more often.

Here are examples of a Story with a call to action, and a micro landing page.
