If you’re a fan of Instagram, you probably know that you cannot directly embed Instagram photos into your Twitter stream. Currently, an attempt to do this results in the image showing up as a link to the Instagram website. However, with a clever workaround using IFTTT, it is possible to change all that.

Steps

Sign up with, “If This, Than That” aka, IFTTT. IFTTT is a great service that allows you to link your different social media accounts, and automating processes for them. Signing up with the service can be done at https://ifttt.com. You only need a username, email address and password to join the service. The entire process will take no more than two minutes.

Go to Djuiceman’s Recipe. Head over to IFTTT user, djuiceman’s, profile. He has already created the “recipe” you need for this workaround: https://ifttt.com/recipes/103249.

Activate your Instagram and Twitter channels on IFTTT for this recipe to work. This requires you to click on the activate button for each service, and authorize it to access your account.

Click on “Use Recipe” and the IFTTT service will automatically link your Instagram and Twitter accounts so that each picture you post on Instagram will automatically be embedded into your Twitter stream.
