Instructions on how to make a link to Instagram VKontakte

To begin with, I will tell you the story of the great fiasco, and only then we will figure out together how to indicate Instagram on VK. My friend once fell in love with a girl. For some time the guy was a silent observer. (Let's call him Vitya.) And shyness prevented him from arranging a personal life with his princess. And I decided to help him, because it’s much easier for a girl to find a girl through girls. No, this is not a tautology, this is a means of artistic expression! Vitya’s beloved turned out to be particularly not too open. I recognized the name pretty quickly, but VK turned out to be deaf to my searches. The girl was hiding under a pseudonym. Having determined the circle of her acquaintances, looking through dozens of pages of friends of friends, I finally found the page. But there were almost no photographs there - only one, on the avatar. Vitya refused to write to her! He said he wanted to look at her first. Maybe he was simply unsure of his choice, or maybe he needed the photos for bad purposes. However, I had to look for a photo.

My inner Sherlock told me: a modern girl cannot have only one photo, which means that all the others are hidden. I thought, what’s wrong with adding a girl to a girl? An offer of pure and selfless friendship is so wonderful! I added her as a friend, but there were no hidden albums on VK! The fact that her Instagram page was listed gave me hope. However, it was closed. I had to chat a little with the object in order to penetrate the circle of trusted subscribers. Vitya looked at her profile through my Instagram account for several days and decided to take a difficult step. He wrote to her, and she replied that she liked girls and invited me to the cinema. This is how this wonderful story of great and pure love ended, having been broken by modern mores. But what I answered her, history is silent. There must be at least one intrigue in your life...

Advantages of specifying Insta VK

Let's take a closer look at what a link to Instagram on another social network gives us:

It makes it easier to find you and your products on social networks. Although, as Vitya’s practice shows, this is not always for the better.
From a business point of view, this can help save money: instead of promoting two social networks, you can focus on VK.
The illusion of reliability. Many of my friends have the opinion that the more data is indicated in Contact, the more real the person is, the less likely it is that he will deceive. So, we indicate to Insta, we inspire trust.
It's just convenient. The connection of these two social networks allows you to save time on copying a post on several sites. We’ll talk about the possibilities of “friendship” between Instagram and VK below.

What does synchronization do?

If you decide to link your Instagram and VKontakte accounts, then you have probably thought about the advantages of such synchronization:

You can conveniently search for friends on Insta who are registered on the VKontakte social network. Agree, this is convenient: I found a friend on VK, and then in a couple of clicks added him on other networks.
The user will be able to quickly go from Vkontakte to the Instagram profile page. To do this, he just needs to follow the link from the post on the wall. You don't have to enter any addresses.
If a description is added under the photo, it is automatically copied to the wall. You don't need to go to your page to add text or hashtags.

“Friendship” of social networks is limited to synchronization. You won’t be able to log into VKontaket via Instagram. But usually such a login is not required, so in order to view the news feed, post photos and posts, you can use the website, the official application for mobile devices.

To go to the Insta website in the browser VKontakte, just go to the page settings in the “Contacts” section. After that, click on the nickname located opposite the Instagram icon. You will be automatically redirected to your profile page in a new window.

Possibilities of “Friendship” of Insta and VK

What will synchronizing accounts do?

Duplicate posts from Instagram. If you configure everything as it should, duplication can occur when one of the hashtags specified in the VK settings is mentioned;
Import can be configured so that photos from Insta are automatically saved to the VK album. And this is convenient because downloading a photo from the first social network is quite problematic;
When integrating VK and Instagram, the accounts of your friends from the Russian social network are automatically searched;

Login to insta via VK

Despite the fact that logging into Instagram via VKontakte is not possible, people can take advantage of some features that combine these two popular social networks. Those users who have already logged in and logged into their account can find friends from VK who are engaged in the vision of their own photo blog and, after subscribing to their page, evaluate the photographs displayed.

At this point, all other synchronization capabilities will be terminated. This is explained by the fact that the owners of Facebook will never support their competitor, namely the social network VKontakte. Today it is perceived by a huge number of users as the most convenient platform for communicating, listening to music or watching videos.

Important!!! In this regard, the only thing a person can do is to link accounts in order to conveniently add and view information from each of these social networks. But speaking of the ability to access Instagram via VKontakte, most likely this will remain an unresolved problem in the future.

How to indicate Instagram on VK?

Step-by-step instructions for posting a link in VK to Instagram:

We go to our page. Here our paths bifurcate:

A) Find the “Contacts” block and point it at it. The “Edit” item appears. Click on it;

B) Under the avatar there is an “Edit” button. In the right menu we find the “Contacts” section;

Find “Integration with other services”. “Set up import” buttons from Twitter, Facebook and Instagram appear.
Click on the inscription we need.
In the pop-up window, enter Instagram. Please note the address in this window. There may be a virus on your computer that replaces addresses in order to “hijack” accounts.
The site will send you a security code to the linked number. Enter it, then click on “Authorize”.
That's all, the pages are connected, all that remains is to set up this “collaboration”.

How to synchronize Instagram with VKontakte

We propose two effective synchronization methods.

Open your personal profile. You will have two options:

Click the edit button under the avatar. Next, click on the “Contacts” icon;
The second way is to click on the phrase “Show more detailed information”. Next, the “Contact Information” icon should appear. Here we also click on the edit button.

You should click on the “Set up import” button next to the icon displaying Instagram. The last step is to enter the password and login for your account, and the synchronization will begin!

Import/export setup

At the very end of the binding, a window will appear with only three points. Here you can choose where your posts from Insta will be saved: on the wall, in a separate album, or imported only with a specific hashtag. You can also select an album here.

After the integration process is completed, you can still change any item you initially selected. To do this, you don’t even need to write to technical support “How to set up import from Instagram VK?” We also move to the contact editing section. Find Instagram here. Next to it there will be two pictograms: a cross and a nut. You should not click on the cross, otherwise you will have to return to the previous section. We need a second icon. By clicking on it, you will see a window that is already familiar to us.

Unfortunately, VKontakte-Instagram import is still not available, which saves us from a huge amount of...not very good content on the “foreign” social network. But if you want, you can repost from Insta to VK.

How to link Instagram to VK via phone?

The current version of the VKontakte application does not contain a separate function for combining social networks. To link, you should use the standard version of the site on your computer. If it is temporarily impossible to get to your computer or laptop, you should:

use the linking function through the Instagram application;
leave a link to the desired publication on the wall in Vk;
Log in to your phone via a mobile browser and use the step-by-step instructions provided above.

Each proposed option is extremely simple and will not take much time, but the first method is most convenient, since to use it you do not have to look for workarounds and perform additional inconvenient actions.

How to share Instagram on VK

We have already dealt with auto-posting. This is a universal answer to the question “how to share Instagram on VK with all your friends and subscribers.” But, if the photo was not published (for example, the required hashtag was not in the caption), you can export it manually. For this:

Open the publication.
Click on the three dots in the upper right corner.
Select the “Share” option.
Edit the signature if necessary.
Enter your VK login and password.
That's all, we shared the photo with our VKontakte friends.

How to untie?

There are two ways to unlink Instagram from VK: through one of the social networks. To do this via VKontakte, open the page settings. After that do the following:

Go to the "Application Settings" section. At the same time, you can check all the applications through which you logged in and remove unnecessary ones.
Find the Instagram app. You can use the search bar to find it faster.
Click on the cross located opposite the application.

To unlink accounts via Instagram, follow the instructions:

Go to your Insta profile settings through the application. To do this, click on the menu icon in the form of three dots or a gear, depending on the client.
Find the “Settings” section, then “Linked Accounts”.
Click on the name of the unnecessary account (Vkontakte), then select “Unlink”.

Usually, users do not have problems when synchronizing accounts. But if there are no associated Instagram accounts in VK or vice versa, then make sure that the login and password were entered correctly. When synchronizing, you must confirm the processing of personal data. If the user's linked account disappeared, the reason could be that the page on the social network was blocked. In other cases, try contacting technical support to resolve the problem.

For active users of social networks, it is necessary to synchronize Instagram with VKontakte in order to save time for publishing the same posts. Also, other users will be able to find you on different resources. Thanks to the built-in tools of the site or application, it is possible to link profiles in a few clicks.

How to send a link to Instagram in VK?

If we need to copy a link from someone else’s account, the algorithm is simply simple:

Open the desired page.
Click on the three dots in the upper right corner.
Find the item “Copy profile URL” and click on it.

All we have to do is paste what we copied where we need it.

“But how can you still send a link to your Instagram on VK?!” - you ask. To copy the address of your page, you either need to go to it through your browser version and copy the contents of the address bar. Or go to the “Edit profile” section and copy the contents of the second line, at the beginning of which there is an icon of a man. Then we manually type instagram.com/, and after the slash we paste what we copied before.

How to make a link?

To make a link on Instagram to your VKontakte account, you need to go to the web version of the site through a browser. Then copy the link to the page and paste it anywhere convenient. The same can be done with any photo or video file.

Please note that you can also do it in reverse. That is, put a link to Instagram in VK.

You just need to link your Instagram page to VKontakte so that the profile link is displayed on the main page. In addition to the account description, the link to Insta is used in the following cases:

To have a link to your Instagram profile displayed in your status, write in the Instagram line: @nickname. By nickname we mean your nickname on Insta.
The URL post is displayed on the user's wall. To do this, open the post in the mobile application and click the three vertical dots at the top to copy the link.

After the link is inserted, you need to wait for the photo thumbnail or profile page to load. After which you can share the link with your friends.

Ways to share a post from Instagram on VKontakte

Duplicating posts from one social network to another is a one-way and not an automatic process. The ways to share a post or photo on VKontakte from Instagram come down to two. They are not very different from each other.

Transfer to another application

In this case, you need to download standard software for both social networks onto your smartphone.

This is done as follows:

Launch Instagram and go to the screen with posts on the bottom panel. Find the post and click on the ellipsis at the top right.
When the window opens, click on “Share to”, and then find “VKontakte”. The application must be downloaded to your mobile device.
Select the location where the post will be reposted. After this, the “Share” window will open.
Set up privacy and set a number when you plan to publish.
Click on the checkmark icon at the top right of the screen.

You can transfer for an individual publication.

This way you can create a post without indicating the source.

Via link

The method is based on the use of the “Copy link” function. It is available in the Instagram application, as well as on the official website.

Sequencing:

Select the desired post, click on the 3 dots at the top right of the screen.
When the window opens, click on “Copy link”. Once a copy has been created, a notification will appear. “Instagram” will close and “VKontakte” will open.
Click on “What’s new with you” and pinch any area within the text field until a window pops up.
Select “Insert”. If a post has been added to the wall, a link to Instagram will be visible under the block.
Specify the remaining parameters as you wish and tap on the checkbox at the top right of the screen.

This method has many inconveniences, but can help when you only need to share 1 post.
