How to Share WhatsApp Messages on Instagram Stories

WhatsApp and Instagram logos

WhatsApp and Instagram are two popular social media platforms owned by Facebook. While WhatsApp is primarily used for direct messaging, Instagram offers a feature called "Stories" where users can share photos, videos, and text that disappear after 24 hours. If you want to share your WhatsApp conversations or messages on your Instagram Stories, you can follow these steps:

Step 1: Take a Screenshot of the WhatsApp Message

  1. Open the WhatsApp conversation that you want to share on your Instagram Stories.
  2. Scroll to the specific message that you want to capture.
  3. On Android devices, press and hold the Volume Down and Power buttons at the same time to capture a screenshot. On iPhones, press and hold the Side (or Sleep/Wake) button and the Volume Up button simultaneously.
  4. You should hear a camera shutter sound or see a flash on your screen, confirming that the screenshot has been successfully taken.

Step 2: Crop the Screenshot (Optional)

If you want to focus on a specific part of the message, you can crop the screenshot before sharing it on your Instagram Stories.

  1. Open the gallery or photos app on your device.
  2. Select the WhatsApp screenshot you just captured.
  3. Look for the Edit or Crop option and tap on it.
  4. Use your device's editing tools to crop the screenshot to your desired size and shape.
  5. Save the cropped image.

Step 3: Share the Screenshot on Instagram Stories

  1. Open the Instagram app on your device.
  2. Tap on the Camera icon at the top-left corner of your screen or swipe right to access the Instagram Stories camera.
  3. Swipe up or tap on the Gallery icon located at the bottom-left corner of your screen to view your device's photo gallery.
  4. Select the WhatsApp screenshot from your gallery.
  5. Customize your Instagram Story by adding text, stickers, drawings, or filters as desired.
  6. You can also add hashtags, mentions, or location tags using the respective Instagram features.
  7. Once you are satisfied with your Instagram Story, tap on the Your Story button at the bottom-center of your screen to share it.

Tips and Considerations:

  • Make sure you respect the privacy and consent of others when sharing WhatsApp messages on Instagram Stories.
  • Consider blurring or covering any sensitive or personal information that may be visible in the screenshot before sharing it.
  • Remember that Instagram Stories disappear after 24 hours, so if you want to save your shared WhatsApp messages, you should take a screenshot of the Instagram Story as well.
  • Providing proper credit or references to the original conversation, if necessary, is important.

Now you know how to share WhatsApp messages on your Instagram Stories. Have fun sharing your favorite conversations and engaging with your followers!
