It can be cumbersome sharing a photo to Twitter and @mentioning someone whose Twitter username is different from their Instagram username. Today, we’ve rolled out a change that will make sharing to Twitter more seamless.
For photos shared to Twitter, Instagram now translates @mentions for users whose Twitter username and Instagram username differ.
If the @mentioned user has connected Instagram to Twitter:
- The user’s Instagram username will appear in the photo caption
- The user’s Twitter username will appear in the tweet
If the @mentioned user has not connected Instagram to Twitter:
- The user’s Instagram username will appear in the photo caption
- The @ sign will be removed from the username when shared to Twitter
For @mentions that do not match any Instagram usernames, the @ sign will remain when shared to Twitter.
