Because of the fact that Instagram and WhatsApp are both owned by Facebook, there has been a lot of integration done between the three apps. Stories-like status on WhatsApp and Facebook were mirrored from Instagram stories. To bring the apps even closer, the Instagram app supports sharing on WhatsApp. Here’s how. The method is the same for both Android and iPhone with a few cosmetic changes. Apart from WhatsApp, you will also find an option to share on Facebook Messenger as well. The Messenger sharing feature is also there on iOS app for both photos and videos. Only the link with a thumbnail is shared so the users with whom the post is shared will still have to navigate to Instagram to view the actual video. To overcome this, you can download the Instagram post and then send it on WhatsApp.
How To Share Instagram Photos And Videos On WhatsApp Status or Contacts
iPhone
- Launch the Repost app, and then wait for it to automatically detect the post you copied. Tap on the post once it appears.
- Once open, you can choose to remove, reposition, or change the color of the attribution mark by selecting the marked area. Otherwise, tap on the Share button at the upper right to save the photos.
- If you have selected a post with multiple photos, Repost will ask you if you want to save the current photo or all of the photos. If it is only one photo, it will automatically save on your Camera Roll. That’s all you need to do. The Instagram photo or video will be saved to the Camera Roll and you can now easily send it to anyone on WhatsApp.
Android
Everything is essentially the same for the Android version of the app. Just download Repost for Instagram on the Play Store, follow the steps, and you are good to go.
