Sharing – member Social Networks

Generally speaking, you want to share Instagram photos with as many people as possible. After all, part of the point of the platform is to gain exposure. Others just want to share some of their favorite moments, meals, and other photo-worthy experiences.

However, there are times when a private share is preferable. After all, there are some photos that are meant more for your friends than your parents. During those times, you probably want to limit who you share your photos with. Luckily, Instagram allows you to share photos with specific people or groups of people. Here’s how you do that:

Upload and edit a photo as normal.
On the share screen, choose the “Direct” option.
You can now enter up to 15 people to share your photo with.

If you want to share privately with more than 15 people, you might want to consider hiding certain photos from specific people instead.

Facebook and Instagram are eternally linked. Not only is Instagram owned by Facebook, but sharing Instagram photos via Facebook is very common. However, recent revelations have left people wondering how much they should actually share via Facebook. Even before the Facebook data scandal, there were times when you just don’t want every Instagram photo to go on your Facebook page.

To be honest, there are many good reasons not to automatically link your Facebook and Instagram accounts. Keeping the two mutually exclusive allows you to have much greater control over your Instagram Privacy privacy. To keep your online profiles separate, just follow these steps.

Open Instagram and go to your profile.
Select “Settings.”
Go to “Linked Accounts” and disable the Facebook option.

You can also disable Instagram like sharing through Facebook. To do so, just go to “Share Settings,” choose Facebook, and disable “Share Likes to Timeline.”
