    Just a note of support for your work in trying to make this happen. Personally, I’m less enthralled with Twitter under the new management and ownership. Can you give some idea of when the Instagram connection will be ready?

    Hi there, we are limited by the fact that social sharing connections are provided to us by the social networks themselves, typically by something they use on their end called an API.

    While it is possible to set up sharing for Facebook (they offer an API for our use) this is not an option with Instagram currently. The only posting method they offer is in the native mobile Instagram app, and at this time Meta has made no announcement signaling that they will open up their API to allow auto-posting.

    This is a popular request and something we’d love to offer, but until Instagram themselves make that option available there is nothing we can do on our end to offer this functionality.

    Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
