is it possible using the datashare native extension below to open the instagram app and go directly to a profile preset? so I could send people to my instagram profile for them to follow me?

that's because you're not using a deep link url. did you look up what a deep link is?

this website will generate them for you.

unofrtunately it doesnt seem to - both facebook and instagram open in browser not the app

the code i am using is
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.facebook.com/username"));
