Instagram has released a new update for iOS allowing users post photos and videos without having to open the app. This follows their recent update of their logo and app layout to a new one in May. This new update adds the ability to post directly to Instagram from Photos or other iOS apps. Before now, users have been able to share photos to Facebook, twitter, Flickr and other applications without having to open them. After the download of the new update, users can select images from photos (or elsewhere) and use the share menu to post directly, even adding a caption in the process. For tagging others or use of filter, you will have to pass through the app as the feature does not allow users to cross post on Facebook and Twitter.
To enable the new Instagram share extension, update to the latest version then launch an app like Photos, tap the share button and swipe to the far right of the colored app icons then tap ‘More’. Toggle Instagram on, arrange it on the list where you want it, then tap done. Now Instagram will appear in the share sheet where sharing photos is supported. This works in Apple’s Photos app as well as other apps including Google Photos and the official Reddit app.
Instagram is an online mobile photo-sharing, video-sharing and social networking service that enables its users to take pictures and videos, and share them either publicly or privately on the app, as well as through a variety of other social networking platforms.
The Instagram 8.2 version is 28.7MB in size, and is now available in the App Store.
