If you're using Instagram for iOS, you can share other people's public posts to Twitter. This feature isn’t available for Android.

To share someone's Instagram posts to Twitter, first link your accounts.

After you've linked your Instagram and Twitter accounts, you can share someone's public Instagram posts to Twitter:

1. Tap above their Instagram post and then tap Tweet.
2. You can switch between multiple Twitter accounts you've authorized, edit the text of the Tweet and add Twitter handles. Typing @ then the start of a username will bring up a search box that shows people you're following on Twitter.
3. To share the Tweet, tap Send.

If someone has set their account to private, you won't see the option to share their posts to Twitter.

In most cases where people can't log into Twitter, there's a temporary outage on Twitter's end. Usually these login issues are resolved within a few hours. If the issue has lasted more than a few hours, try relinking your Twitter and Instagram accounts:

1. Tap to go to your profile.
2. In the top right, tap (Android) or (iPhone).
3. Tap Linked Accounts > Twitter. Tap Unlink, then re-enter your login info.

Once you link accounts, you'll have the option to share a post to Facebook from the same screen where you add a caption.

You can also share from Instagram to a Facebook Page you manage.

Yes, you can link multiple Instagram accounts to your Facebook profile. When you link an Instagram account to Facebook, your Facebook friends who are on Instagram may get a notification telling them that you're using that Instagram account.

Keep in mind that if you change the name of the Facebook album, the next time you share an Instagram post to Facebook a new album titled Instagram Photos will be automatically created, and your post will be added there.

You can also move posts between albums on Facebook.

You can upload up to 1,000 photos to a Facebook photo album that's been created by a third-party app.
