Can You Share Your Instagram Story on Snapchat?
Unfortunately, Instagram currently does not provide a direct feature to bring Insta-stories to Snapchat like how you can do with Instagram posts. So, we are afraid that you have to take a detour a little bit – to create the stories on Instagram and reupload them to Snapchat. If you are confused, here is the instruction for you:
- Step 1: Open the Instagram app > Go to Story
- Step 2: Create and customize your story with texts, stickers, music, etc. as you want

Can You Post Snapchat Videos to Instagram?
As a lot of social media players still prefer Snapchat’s experience over Instagram, they are looking for different ways to publish Snapchat videos on Instagram. You can directly share posts from Instagram to Snapchat, but can you do the reverse? Unfortunately, the answer is nope, or at least not anytime soon. Snapchat does not have any built-in feature for cross-sharing videos, so you will have to go through a similar workaround as we suggested above for sharing Insta-stories on Snapchat.
