Everyone should enjoy the tweet according to Twitter.
Twitter just announced on Thursday that it has added support that will allow Android users to share tweets directly to Instagram Stories and Snapchat, as per Endgadget.
This feature that allows users to quickly share a tweet to Instagram stories was first made available on iOS last year, and now Android users can enjoy it, too.
How to Share Tweets on Instagram Stories and Snapchat
Finally, Twitter users who are on Android devices can directly share a tweet to their stories on Instagram. Previously, one has to use screenshot to share a tweet on Instagram stories. But now, it is no longer necessary.
Twitter made the announcement that delighted Android users on Thursday. According to the social media, those who have updated to the latest version of the app can simply click on the share button.
Afterwards, users will see an Instagram icon that they can tap to share tweet to their stories.
Once the tweet is shared to Instagram, users can move the tweet around. They can rotate it, or even change the size to improve the visibility of some contents. After editing, they have the option to share it as a story, or send it to an individual user or a group.
But neither the person who shared the tweet to their Instagram stories or the people who are viewing it, will be able to click on it or interact with it. This is the same case as the feature available in iOS.
This only means that replies to the tweet cannot be viewed by users. To tap on the tweet, the person who shared the tweet must also share the link on their Instagram Stories.
To protect the privacy of users on Twitter, protected tweets cannot be shared on Instagram stories or Snapchat. This is the same case in Twitter itself, where users are not allowed to retweet any tweets posted by a protected account.
It can be noted that since June 2021, the feature to share tweets on Instagram stories have been available to iOS users.

Twitter is Testing a New Way to Share Tweets in India
Twitter is also including LinkedIn direct sharing to both Android and iOS. Moreover, according to TechCrunch reports, the social media is also working to "increase its cross-platform" reach in India.
As mentioned my TechCrunch, Twitter is "testing a new way to share tweets" in the said country. The social media added a WhatsApp button "under the posts for Android users."
This new feature being tested will allow Twitter users on Android devices to share tweets with their contacts and groups on WhatsApp. All they have to do is tap on the new button, then select the WhatsApp option again.
The regular share button under the tweet is replaced by the WhatsApp share button.
This new button opens different options such as "bookmarking, sending via Direct Message, copy link to Tweet, and sharing to other social media platforms," as per TechCrunch.
Moreover, TechCrunch noted that the implementation is "incoherent" as the share icon is just replaced with the WhatsApp icon but the functionality is not changed.
