Instagram has officially announced that users will be able to see post previews of Instagram posts on Twitter. As soon as you add a link to a Tweet, the link will automatically turn into a card. Earlier, when users posted an Instagram link in a tweet, only the URL of the link was visible on the platform. But now the card will be visible, which will make it easy for the users what is in it.
Instagram relaunches Twitter post preview feature
This is not a new feature as it was already available to users in 2012 but it was removed. At the time, Instagram founder Kevin Systrom said he wanted to control its content and wanted the images to be viewed only on Instagram.
The decision was naturally opposed by Twitter and many users as it made cross-posting difficult for them. Twitter has now accepted the new change, tweeting, “If you want to share your latest Instagram post on the Twitter timeline as well, you’re in luck: Now you can share a link to an Instagram post in a Tweet.” If you do, it will show you as a preview of the photo.”
This feature has started rolling out on Android, iOS and the web since yesterday. Thus, now this feature will make cross posting easier for the users, because earlier only links were posted but now with cards you will be able to see previews.
Add Yours feature became quite popular
It is worth noting that Instagram recently introduced a new “Add Yours” sticker for Stories on the platform. This sticker allows users to interact with others on the platform by creating a public thread that anyone can reply to, post or participate in. This interactive sticker allows users to create content series among their friends that can be based on any topic. For example, “Best Sunset Picture”, which became quite popular recently.
