When using Hipstamatic, you have the option of sharing your photo directly to Instagram. Just choose to share the photo and then tap the Instagram icon.

After you connect your Instagram account to Hipstamatic and choose share, your photo will automatically appear on Instagram. Since the tags were turned on for this photo, Hipstamatic automatically included tags in this caption. An attribution ("Taken with Hipstamatic") will appear below your caption -- tapping on "Hipstamatic" will direct you to the app if it's already installed on your device, or to the Hipstamatic App Store page if you haven't yet downloaded the application.
