Twitter has told its most popular users to stop posting Instagram links.
Since 2012, Instagram pulled support for the functionality that
showed Instagram photos within tweets. Since then, pictures posted from
the Facebook-owned picture sharing site have shown up as links, which
must then be opened in a browser or with a client.
A batch of
Twitter’s high-profile users received a prompt telling them to post
pictures directly through Twitter, so that they show up in their
followers’ timelines, reports Mashable.
The message was presented as an educational effort to show how to post
in Twitter and so boost interaction on posts, Mashable said.
Instagram has been gaining on Twitter since it was acquired by Facebook in 2012, and has overtaken it for the number of users.
Twitter
does offer filters and other photo editing functionality, as Instagram
does. But options are more limited and both celebrity and average users
still tend to favour Instagram as a way of posting photos.
