  Hi there,

  We are able to share your blog posts with Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Tumblr, but we do not have an option to share to Instagram. See: https://wordpress.com/support/post-automatically-to-social-media/

  To clarify, this is a limitation of Instagram itself. They only permit posting from the app, and have not built a system for accepting posts from websites, regardless of the platform you are using. So this is not a WordPress.com issue, but an issue that all websites face.

  Until the day that Instagram makes the sharing of blog posts possible on their end, you will need to share those manually, thanks!
