Image Previews in Twitter

First of all, you should check the requirements for seeing an Instagram post preview on Twitter. For this, the Instagram account needs to be public. Now follow the steps mentioned below:

  • Go to Twitter and write a Tweet in which you want to include the Instagram post.
  • Now go to Instagram and copy that post’s link that you want to share.
  • After that, paste this Instagram post link in the tweet.

That’s all. Now, when you send the tweet, you will see an image preview as a card with a thumbnail in the Tweet.


Moreover, if you share to Twitter directly from Instagram, that post’s caption will also appear alongside the image preview. When someone clicks the link on the preview on your tweet, it will bring them directly to your Instagram post.

You should note that apart from Instagram stories, all types of posts including photos, videos, and Reels will preview on Twitter.
