Twitter is making it even easier to spread your tweets far and wide to every social media platform imaginable. Starting today on iOS, you’ll be able to add tweets into a snap as a sticker. Before, if you wanted to share a tweet on Snapchat, you would have to take a screenshot of it and share that, without having access to any of Snapchat’s camera or editing features.
Twitter’s share menu will include the option to send a tweet directly to the Snap Camera. The company will test a similar feature for Instagram’s Stories “in the coming days.”
When a tweet is imported into an outside app, it will look more similar to how it appears on Twitter’s app and website rather than a static screenshot. On Snapchat, the tweet will also link back to the original.
Using Twitter’s share menu may not sound that different than simply posting a screenshot, but it could be more convenient than cluttering your camera roll with unnecessary screen grabs. And for Twitter, it gives the company a chance to take a little more credit for some of its most popular content.
This is a feature built for social media apps as they are today: places to repost tweets.
