Cross-posting on social media has been around for quite some time. And there’s been a lot of curiosity around how to share Threads on Instagram as well as other ways of effectively integrating this new platform with Instagram.
This is mainly due to the fact that Threads and Instagram are both owned by Meta, which means there's a natural synergy between the two platforms. So, in this guide, we'll explore the various methods to share Threads posts and profiles on Instagram.

Circleboom supports Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Google Business Profile, and YouTube Shorts.
How to share Threads posts on Instagram
While Threads does not yet have a direct integration with Instagram for post sharing, you can still manually share content.
To share specific Threads posts on Instagram as a single image post, you can use the good ol' method of taking screenshots.
- Take the screenshot of the Threads post that you want to cross-post on Instagram.
- Edit the screenshot in the way you like and get it ready to be posted on Instagram.
- Share it on Instagram with the caption you like.
Now, that's quite the manual approach.
But there's also an easier way of sharing your Threads posts on Instagram: Posting on both platforms simultaneously through Circleboom Publish!
