Currently,  the Instagram API does not provide a way to share an image directly to it from an App.

There are two ways users of an App can share photos using Instagram:

  1. Download the image and then use the Instagram App to share the image. Or
  2. If image Downloading has been disabled take a screen snapshot of the image and then use the Instagram app to share the image.  

Alternatively, if a user wishes to share the App via Instagram they can do so by adding the web link address for the app to their Instagram Profile.  They can find this in the original email invitation they received.
