Many users face the problem of why their Instagram photos are not being published on VKontakte. Usually, this happens due to mismatched settings. We will explain the reasons for the problem and how to solve it.
Causes and problems
The ability to repost from one platform to another significantly saves time for each user, but there are sometimes confusions and exporting photos becomes impossible. Let’s consider the reasons why Instagram does not share posts with VK.
There are two most common reasons:
- The import is violated and therefore photos are not published in other places;
- The connection between accounts is broken.
How to synchronize Vkontakte with Instagram: instructions
To activate the function, use the VK settings. To do this, go to the “Contacts” section. Here you will find a tab for integration with other sites. When you click on it, a list of allowed social networks will appear. Among the options, select Instagram. Hooray! Synchronization is activated, now you can publish posts and import photos to all listed platforms on the wall and feed with just one click.
Integration of Instagram profile with Vk group
To post a photo in a VK group, you also need to enable integration. As before, this needs to be done through settings. In the “Contacts” section, specify the social network with which you need to connect. Such actions can only be performed by the group administrator. It does not matter whether it is a personal blog or a group account.
How to import files from Instagram to Vkontakte
To ensure that publications are reflected in both feeds at the same time, it is necessary to follow the rules established by moderators. A mandatory criterion is the presence of a reference to the original text.
Make a link to VK on Instagram
To be able to view personal pages and other publications of someone you are interested in on Vkontakte, you can leave the original address on your Instagram account header. To do this, you need to go to your profile at the bottom of the screen, then click on the edit link. The “Website” section will appear, where you need to insert the email address of your VK page, and then save the changes. After all the actions, the current path will appear. After that, with just one click, it will be possible to switch from Instagram to Vk and view all of the user’s content.
Create a link to Instagram in VK
In order for a link to appear on VK, you simply need to post it in your status or pin it to your wall. To obtain the address, do not use the mobile application, but rather use a browser and copy it from the top bar. The page address will consist of the name of the social network and the username.
After that, all friends and interested parties will be able to view your publications.
How to disable synchronization and unlink accounts
Use VK settings and go to “Contacts”. Remove the check mark from the necessary profile.
Another way to disable the function is to change the password in one of the social networks. After the changes are made, synchronization will be automatically disabled, as the system will not be able to provide up-to-date information.
Important! For best results, we recommend using settings to ensure that all social networks are not linked to each other.
Sometimes active users wonder why photos from Instagram are not published on VK. This often happens after updating the program or changing the mobile device. To fix the synchronization, you will need to use the settings, after which the situation will be corrected. Many bloggers prefer to duplicate links to active social networks on the walls of each profile to attract subscribers.
