In these short tutorials we explain in a simple way how to make the most of your social networks. Basic tips and tricks to manage your profile.
Now that TikTok is so fashionable, you have probably opened an account and asked yourself a thousand questions about the platform. One of the most repeated has to do with how your videos are uploaded precisely to the competition app, Instagram. Today we are going to remove you from doubts and explain the ways that you can publish the videos that you record on TikTok in the social network of the postures.
TikTok and Instagram, the quarantine apps
There is no doubt that this rare quarantine that we have to live has benefited social networks. These are the communication channels par excellence and in these moments in which we spend so much time without seeing our friends, they have become the ideal platform for this purpose as well as for consuming entertaining content (or creating it).
Within this phenomenon, TikTok and Instagram are taking the jackpot. The first one doesn’t stop registering new users while the second one is experiencing unusual Stories, videos and live activity. Something that many are doing, in fact, is to combine the two social networks, recording content that is first published in the Asian app (so they take advantage of its filters and effects) and then also uploaded to the Facebook-owned app.
And how is that done? , you will be wondering. Well, by following some simple steps that we are now going to explain. In some of them (not in all) the linking of the accounts is necessary , so the first thing you must be clear about is how to do this process. Aim.
How to link your TikTok and Instagram account
- Open your TikTok app and make sure you’re signed in
- Tap “I” (in the bottom bar, it’s the icon in the right corner)
- Once in your user panel, go to “Edit profile”.
- The penultimate point is “Instagram”. Tap on “Add Instagram to your profile”.
- Follow the linkage steps indicated.
- Done, you already have your accounts linked.
How to upload TikTok videos to Instagram
To upload a video that you have recorded on TikTok to Instagram, the first thing you should know is that there are several ways to do it and that some involve linking the accounts of both social networks (let’s say it is the “official” procedure) and others do not. We have already left you a few lines above how the accounts are linked, so having this clear, we go with the ways that there are to share the videos.
With linked accounts
Having the associated TikTok and Instagram accounts , you can directly share the content you generate with the app of musical origin.
Record a video with TikTok and share it directly on Instagram
- Enter the TikTok app and make sure you are signed in.
- Press the + button and record the video you want, with the effects, duration and sounds you want.
- Once you have it ready to share and you get to the “Publish” screen, you will see in the lower area several icons of social networks and apps.
- Tap the Instagram icon (it will go from black and white to color).
- Tap on “Post”. After being published to your TikTok account, Instagram will open for you to upload the video directly.
Share a video on Instagram that you already have in your TikTok feed
- Enter the TikTok app and make sure you are signed in.
- Select the video you want and open it.
- In the right column, touch the fourth circle, the one with the three points.
- A large menu of actions will appear and among them all the options you have to Share the video.
- Tap on “Instargram” or “Stories” depending on where you prefer to upload the video.
Without linked accounts
In case you do not want to link your TikTok and Instagram accounts, you also have the option to share content between platforms quickly, although it is only applicable to videos that you have already uploaded to your TikTok feed (the option to record something on the moment and directly sharing it on Instagram requires the aforementioned link).
- Enter the TikTok application and make sure you are logged in.
- Select the video you want to share and open it.
- In the right column, touch the fourth circle, the one with the three points.
- You will see various action options. Tap the first one: “Save video”.

- Find the one on Instagram, either Feed or Stories (you may have to hit “Other” to find it) and tap on it to upload your video.
It won’t be for lack of options. Now you only have to put them into practice!
