What if I upload my Instagram posts to TikTok?
In contrast to TikTok, you cannot share your posts directly to the app. You must ensure that your Instagram posts and Stories are saved directly to your phone and then manually add them to TikTok via your camera roll.
Using TikTok videos to create Reels
Reels, the new kid on the block, is another great way to repurpose your TikTok videos on Instagram (and vice versa).
While some are concerned about the obvious similarities with TikTok, we believe Reels has its own distinct potential. To begin with? It’s available within the Instagram app, where we’re all already hanging out, so you don’t have to learn a new platform.
Instagram, on the other hand, has a….uhhhh, slightly more mature (cough: older) demographic than TikTok and is already more geared towards consumers. As a result, cross-posting your short-form video content across both platforms is a great way to broaden your audience.
You won’t even have to chop your videos because they both support videos of up to 15 seconds! Simply record them natively on your preferred platform (whichever one has the best editing tools), save them to your camera reel, and re-post them on the other platform.
