ANROID LIGHTOOM MOBILE: Can't Post Photos Exported from LR Mobile to Instagram

 

Has anyone else had issues posting exported photos from Lightroom Mobile (Android) to Instagram? I have a Samsung S24 Ultra and have not been able to share edited images to Instagram since I got my phone a month ago or so. My work around has been to post edited photos to Facebook which works, then save that file back to my phone from Facebook, then upload that to Instagram.

 

I get a "Photo can't be posted" error every time regardless if I'm on cell or Wi-Fi.

    Has anyone found a fix for this issue?

    I'm using Pixel 8. My current workaround atm is to post it from IOS phone, seems only affecting Android phones

        Exact same issue for me. Although a small solution is posting the lil copy of the picture the Instagram app makes after it fails to upload the first time.

          Hey, @Abel1549. Welcome to the Lightroom Community. I'll need more info to help you figure this out.

           

          What settings do you use to export the image from Lightroom? A picture uploaded to Facebook > downloaded & uploaded to Instagram would likely lose a lot of details. 

           

          If you're exporting in an HDR-friendly format from Lightroom, you must use the latest version of Instagram as the support for HDR was introduced at the end of March & updates can take time to arrive via the PlayStore. 

           

          Let me know how it goes.

          Hey sameer,

          I had clicked pictures from my s24 ultra. After editing it from Lightroom, with all possible export quality using custom sizes too, Instagram shows this error message as the photo cant be uploaded.

          I have even tried to share that image to a different Samsung device and try to upload. But still the same problem shows up. But when tried from an apple device, it was able to upload. Kindly let me know what is the issue.
