Before now, people have no choice but to take a screenshot and upload that image on Instagram Stories - a very normal procedure - or on any other site in order to share a tweet on other social networks. In addition to the pains in the process, this caused to lose all features on that post that could not be retwumed or liked by another social media, becoming nothing more than a photograph.
Twitter, though has just revealed an important novelty that "changes the rules of the game" and opens the door for tweets to be conveniently posted in other social networks' stories. IOS users can quickly post a tweet on Snapchat from now on, and everyone on the Android Twitter platform will be able to do so in the coming weeks.
It is not the only site on which it is possible to explicitly post tweets. Instagram will soon begin checking the ability to explicitly post tweets in Instagram Stories with certain iOS users. This can be a drastic improvement in gaining more tweet exposure and in fact, it was one of the keys to the growth of TikTok: their videos could be quickly spread on other social networks and instant messaging apps, which gave them a lot more distribution and helped them to meet even more individuals who understood and set out to use the social media
As we said, from this moment on, tweets can be quickly shared, beginning with Snapchat, in the stories of other social networks. To view the Tweet and the comments directly on Twitter users of this social network will be able to touch the attached element. The choice will be enabled on Instagram in the coming weeks and will look like this:
How to share a Tweet on Snapchat from the Twitter app
- -First click on the share icon in a public tweet. Protected tweets cannot be shared.
- -In the lower menu options, tap on the Snapchat icon (the Instagram icon will also be enabled in the future)

If you want to use a Lens, touch the screen to activate the Lens Carousel.
- -Once you have your Snap (a video or a photo), you can pinch to move and change the size of the tweet sticker. You can use more Snapchat Creative Tools right now including: text, stickers, Bitmojis, Cameos, and Filters.
- -Tap the submit button in the lower right corner to share individually or in groups or to post it to your Story for all your friends to see.
- -People will be able to see the tweet as a sticker in your Snap and can touch it to switch to Twitter and see the tweet and all the responses.
