P: Can't share pics to instagram anymore, the only solution is export it

does anyone have this same issue and have any idea how to resolve it? I used to be able to share straifht to my IG account from within the export menu, but something happened probably a year ago or something, and the functionality broke. to this day, when to Share>Instagram>Story, Lightroom app returns a generic error that simply says "Something went wrong". I can do Share>Instagram>Post no problem, and the pic goes on my feed. But for whatever reason, a story is just not possible for almost a year now. Is there any solution that anyone knows about!? Please and thank you!

Also, if you use the export to instagram option, the text and tagging options are not present.

After testing this out, by posting using Lightroom to instagram export, the number of views on posts was much lower than posting from Instagram - due to tagging and other things working right off the original post.

Lightroom export isn't functional imho.

The work flow should be to move the file to the local device and get it off Adobe Cloud (because apps don't play well with it either), and from local device post using a web interface or native app.

The same issue here.

Thanks Rikk for this update.

That’s great to hear & thanks for noting the IG version. I was on 175 and it was definitely not working (see above), however IG 176 just installed (“bug fixes”) and now it is working (again) and very smoothly. 

Forgot to mention I am on iPhone12pro if that was a difference. 

This seems to be a dynamic situation, thanks for all the support. 

It is working now. You should be able to pick any picture from the LR mobile app and able to "share to", "open in" or "export as" then select IG after. It has been working for at least last 2 weeks. I have iOS 14.4, LR mobile 6.1.0C2677A/7 and IG V175.0.0.23.117. Good luck. 

@Rick The above solution *was* working and now it's not anymore (long press, open in app)

- understood that I can export and upload via the instagram app, just adding helpful information as you track this down - thank you! (Lightroom Mobile, iOS 14.4, LR mobile v 6.1.0 C2677A/7

I'm merging this post with and existing thread about this issue.

I have the latest updates for Instagram and Lightroom running on iOS 14.2. Every time I try share a picture from Lightroom to Instagram I get an error message ‘so thing went wrong’ 

Any idea on why this is happening would be great, I’v had Lightroom for less than a month and this problem is disappointing!
