The share button has to be tapped and to the far right you have to swipe and the option that has to be selected is ‘More’. You have to arrange where you would like to place after toggling Instagram on and then tap when you are done. Instagram will now be appear in the sheet where the photos to be shared will be supported. This not only works on the Photo’s app of Apple but also on the official app of Reddit as well as Google Photos.
