Now Instagram Save Photos to Your Facebook Album

Instagram, the popular photo sharing app for iPhone, now export photos to Facebook album. You and your friends can then share and tag the photos in Facebook.

When you choose to share Instagram photos to Facebook, your images will automatically be added to your Facebook album named “Instagram Photos”. The shared photos will appear full-sized in the News Feed along with the caption you added and Instagram link.

According to Instagram FAQ, the album name is fixed. Rename the album will create a new album titled “Instagram Photos” next time you share a photo to Facebook.

However, after test, I found that you can rename the album and future Instagram photos will still copy into the renamed album. You cannot choose which album your images are sent to, though.

You can export previous Instagram photos to Facebook by following the instructions here. One image at a time.

I found it unable to move photos from other album (previously uploaded by InstaFB) into “Instagram Photos” album. According to Instagram FAQ, “there is no way to manually add images to an album that has been created by an application.”

My two cents

Glad that Instagram-to-Facebook-album is here, that’s my most wanted feature for Instagram. Before this, we use InstaFB (read my previous review) to export Instagram photos to Facebook album. Too bad that I can’t move the InstaFB photos into “Instagram Photos” album…
