    Instagram and Twitter are two of the most social media platforms in the market currently. People often post on Instagram, however, these images aren’t seen by Twitter followers unless you share them yourself. If you’re worried about the extra work of uploading photos a second time, don't worry: You can link Instagram to Twitter, so photos tweet automatically.

    There are two main ways to connect Instagram with Twitter. The first is provided by Instagram, which is easy to set up and allows you to decide whether or not to push an image to Twitter as you post to Instagram. However, through this way, your Twitter followers won’t see the images directly, and instead, followers will see a link to the photo on Instagram.

    The other method is to Link Instagram with Twitter via Appy Pie Connect. It's a little more work to set up, but you only have to do so once for all of your Instagram photos to show up on Twitter.

    How to Link Instagram to Twitter and Automatically Tweet Links to Photos?

    Head to your profile, then tap the menu button in the top-right corner.

    Open Settings > Account.

    Head to “Sharing to other apps”

    Head to Twitter.

    You need to authorize your Instagram account and log into your Twitter account.

    You can now tweet photos while uploading them to Instagram by turning on the Twitter switch before posting.

    This will only tweet a link to your photo on Instagram and the photo itself will not show up. If you want people to click through to Instagram and potentially follow you there, this might be a good thing. However, people are less likely to notice your post in the first place.

    How to Link Instagram with Twitter using Appy Pie Connect and Automatically Tweet Photos?
