Share to Instagram with Jetpack Social 

Automatically share your blog posts to your Instagram business account, reach a wider audience, and engage effortlessly with your followers.

Auto-share to Instagram

To share your new posts directly to Instagram, please follow the steps:

1. Ensure your post has a featured image. Jetpack Social only supports the featured image set for a post or page, or custom media attached directly in the Jetpack Social sidebar. If your post does not have an image meeting these criteria, it will not be shared to Instagram.
2. Click the Jetpack icon in the top right corner or the Jetpack Social icon.
3. Toggle on the “Share to Social Media” option.
4. Select the social platform where you want the post to be shared by clicking the icons for each platform, including Instagram.
5. Add a custom message if desired, with a limit of 255 characters.
6. Publish the post. Once published, it will automatically be shared to your selected social accounts as well.

Jetpack Social currently supports sharing only one image per post to Instagram, even if your post contains multiple images. Instagram carousel posts (with multiple images) aren’t supported by Jetpack Social at this time.
