    Hello There,

    Thanks for writing in!

    You are asking “how to add instagram to my social sharing list”. Regretfully this isn’t a feature in X. This is not a feature in instagram either. You can not share any images to your instagram account. Instagram doesn’t allow you to post any image outside the mobile app.

    At this time, uploading via the API is not possible. We made a conscious choice not to add this for the following reasons:

    1. Instagram is about your life on the go – we hope to encourage photos from within the app.
    2. We want to fight spam & low quality photos. Once we allow uploading from other sources, it’s harder to control what comes into the Instagram ecosystem. All this being said, we’re working on ways to ensure users have a consistent and high-quality experience on our platform.

    Hope this explains it briefly.

    Aha!
    Ok then. . . thank you very much for that clarification. Too bad it’s not possible.

    Best,
