2. Tap Share.
3. Tap the name of the site where you'd like to share your post (Facebook, Twitter or Tumblr) and then tap Share. You can also choose Email or Copy Link.

If someone with a private profile shares a photo or video to a social network (like Twitter, Facebook and so on) using Instagram, the image will be visible on that network and the permalink will be active. In other words, the photo will be publicly accessible by anyone who has access to its direct link/URL.

Keep in mind that sharing a photo or video to a social network doesn't mean that the image will be visible in Instagram. Your account will still appear private to those who aren't approved followers.
