Unable to Open Photos in Instagram from Lightroom Mobile
I noticed a few weeks ago that when I try to go the normal route of sharing a photo into Instagram from my Lightroom Mobile app for iPhone, it won’t pull it all the way through. Some details here:
i open the Photo in my Lightroom app. Select the share icon, select “Open In”, select the size (have tried both options, doesn‘t effect the outcome). message pops up saying “rendering”. Once complete, the phone pops up a screen asking where I want to open it (a list of apps displayed). If you scroll over, there are TWO Instagram options. The first app icon I see just says Instagram. If you select this, you are given no tools for cropping the photo, editing/filters, tagging, etc. The only thing you can do is add a caption. Therefore I never use this option. The second app icon for Instagram on that list says “Copy to Instagram“.
When this is selected, a new screen (new in the last few weeks to months) pops up that asks if you want STORY or FEED.
When I select feed, the photo disappears and it defaults to my camera roll in my phone.
the work around is simply to save the photo to my camera roll and then open Instagram, but this is obviously a bug that needs to be addressed since it previously worked fine!
oh and if instead of FEED I select STORY, it works.
Anyone else having this problem? I may try to delete the apps and reinstall if nothing else resolves.
