Now, You Can Share Instagram Photos From Other Apps as Well
The photo-sharing platform is no longer dependent on its app to socialise pictures.
What if we tell you that sharing Instagram photos is just a click away? Yes, photo sharing app Instagram has rolled out an update that makes it easier and faster for iOS users to
share photos and videos, without opening the app!
With the help of share extensions users can now send pictures directly to their feeds from apps like photos.
Share extensions were first made available to developers back in 2014 when the iOS 8 was released.
Apps that already have the share option enabled include Instagram’s parent company, Facebook and Twitter, but its taken Instagram about two years to finally add the feature.
Photo Sharing Made Easy
So, how does one share a photo without opening the app? Simple, you need to first upgrade to the latest version (of Instagram) and then open the app from which you want to send the photo.
Press the share button and tap on the Instagram icon. A window will open to let the user write a caption before posting to Instagram.
The update also alters the context of an Instagram post by enabling users to post a photo without filters and edits.
