Share Instagram Links on WhatsApp: Every Possible Solution

Have you ever stumbled upon a story or video on Instagram that you wish to share on WhatsApp?

Since both WhatsApp and Instagram are owned by the same company (Facebook), it is pretty easy to share things from Instagram to WhatsApp. In this post, I will let you know how to share Instagram links on WhatsApp in different ways. Therefore, I have listed dedicated solutions on how to share an Instagram profile/story/video link on WhatsApp for beginners.

Part 1: How to Share an Instagram Profile on WhatsApp Directly?

You might already know that Instagram is one of the most popular social media platforms with millions of accounts out there. There are times when you might wish to share someone’s Instagram profile with your WhatsApp contacts. Though, as of now, we can only share public Instagram profiles. If they have kept their profile private, then you can’t share it with anyone on WhatsApp.

To learn how to share an Instagram profile on WhatsApp, you can follow this basic drill.

Step 1. Firstly, you can just launch the Instagram app on your smartphone and find any profile you wish to share.

Step 2. Once you find the Instagram profile, tap on the three-dot icon from the top-right corner to get more options.

Step 3. Instagram will now display different options to report, block, and share the profile. From all the listed options, just tap on the “Copy Profile URL” button.

Step 4. Great! Once you have copied the Instagram link on the clipboard, you can launch WhatsApp and open any chat. You can long-tap on the typing space to get the “Paste” option.

Step 5. That’s it! This will just paste the profile link of Instagram on WhatsApp and generate its thumbnail. You can now send it to your WhatsApp contact easily.

In this way, you can easily learn how to share an Instagram account on WhatsApp contacts and groups.

Part 2: How to Share an Instagram Story on WhatsApp?

Just like Instagram profiles, you can also share Instagram stories on WhatsApp. If you want, you can share someone else’s story to a WhatsApp contact or post your Instagram story as your WhatsApp status. Let’s suppose you have posted something as your Instagram story. You can now directly share the Instagram story as your WhatsApp status.

Here are some basic steps that you can take to learn how to share an Instagram story on WhatsApp.

Step 1. To begin with, you can just launch the Instagram app and tap on your profile icon to view your story. From the listed options on the bottom, tap on the share icon.

Step 2. If you want, you can access someone else’s Instagram story and tap on the send icon from the bottom to get the same option.

Step 3. Now, from the provided options for the Instagram story, you can directly copy its link or select the “Share to” feature.

Step 4. If you have copied the link, then you can directly go to WhatsApp, open any chat, and paste the link.

Step 5. In case you have selected the “Share to” feature, then Instagram will display various platforms. From here, just choose WhatsApp to open the app. You can now share it as your WhatsApp Status or forward it to any WhatsApp contact.

Please note that you can only share public Instagram videos and photos with someone on WhatsApp. If the other user has a private account, then this feature would be missing. Here’s how to share an Instagram story on WhatsApp in a jiffy.
