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

Hi,

LR 6.0.2 with a iPhone7 and iOS 14.2

Instagram version 167.0

I create a new Album with files from my own device.

i take a photo by camera roll > same error

Hi,

thank you for reporting this.

Which version are you running into this with and which device?
If this error occurred after you selected Instagram, we can't easily tell.

It might help to know which Instagram version you are using,
If you share the image to e.g. your Camera Roll, does it work to share the image to Instagram then?

Thanks,
Ignacio

I try Upload a photo like share to Instagram 

iphone with ios 14.2

I'm on IOS and the option "Copy to Instagram" when I choose Open In is gone. I can no longer post to Instagram directly from Lightroom Mobile. Pretty annoying, since the Open in Instagram option has very limited functions.

Lightroom Mobile version 5.4.2 25D6E5

Instagram version 163.0.0.41.120

This is working now for me - thank-you

It seems as though the option to instruct Instagram's app to just open the photo like asking Google Keep, or Apple Notes or Mail to open it would be the simplest method to circumvent some change to Instagram.  The problem is, LR seems to have changed its entire method for connecting to all of the apps on the phone by wanting to do the writing of the post inside the Lightroom app rather than in the app the photo is being sent to.  Which again, should only be done is LR can actually fully integrate with the app.  Otherwise, LR should just push the image to open up the app and instruct the app to start using that photo.  That seems like the simplest path to all integrations with other applications.

Obviously, everyone is having these issues, so I don't need to report ME TOO!  But I do need to state that there used to be two options:  1.  Open in Instagram and 1. Copy to Instagram.  The open in (when LR is involved in the posting only allows for VERY limited posting capabilities and then you have to go to Instagram to EDIT the post.  But the COPY TO INSTAGRAM option was always much better because it sent the image to Instagram's app and opened it in Instagram where you had the ability to do a full post with all the links and tags etc.  I would like to see that COPY TO INSTAGRAM  come back too.  The LR centric option was always problematic because there wasn't enough true integration.  

By the way, I will say that LR will export to Facebook and any other app.  Just not to Instagram.  So that should help you figure out where the issue is.  However, I still would prefer that LR give options to simply OPEN or COPY the photo INTO the social media app and let the social media app take over from there... unless of course, LR can fully integrate.  If not, just make the connection and let the real app do the posting work (like captioning and sharing and tagging).

i thought it was just me, reached out to folks over at adobe and logged out, uninstalled and reinstalled lightroom mobile and still i can't upload to instagram. I've tried sending a message to instagram tech support, hopefully they'd catch up on this soon... I'm able to share to other social media platforms, but i'm more active in instagram that's why this got me really annoyed hahah... i hope we get a fix on this soon. 

ps. i got this problem when i updated my iOS last night to 14. Wondering if apple had something to do with it as well hahah.

Yeah, i asked about this a few weeks ago and the answer I received is that it's an IG issue and up to them to fix.

One of the main reason why I loved Lightroom Mobile so much was because of its ability to export images to Instagram as a story or post. But then with one of these recent updates, I’ve lost that ability. Please fix this, Adobe. You guys are the best 👍
