Twitter just let you share tweets on both Instagram and Snapchat

Twitter is doing quite a bit to make its platform both more accessible and visible; it has now quietly turned on the ability for users to post directly via Twitter, as well as Snapchat and Instagram.

Each Tweet now comes with a share menu, that lets users put it up as either a Snap Camera story as well as an Instagram Story feature.

The latter function has yet to be rolled out, but Twitter says it is testing the feature. It will be rolled out “over the coming days”.

Twitter also announced that Tweets on Snapchat and Instagram will look the same as to what users are already used to be seeing – so they should blend seamlessly.

It said that what you will not be seeing is a plain screenshot. Shared posts will also link back to the original platform (ideally, that means that Twitter should get a lot more exposure, as well as more accessible to a wider demographic).
