This helps you give your Threads content more visibility without having to manually create a separate Instagram Story each time. # To cross-share a Threads post to an Instagram Story: * Go to **Create** in Publer. * Select the Threads account you want to post from. * Create your Threads post as usual. * Click the **AutoShare** icon below the post. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/e/e/f/b/eefbebed3e091800/screenshot-2026-09-08-at-12075_wrcucm.png) | To learn more about AutoSharing, check out [how to use AutoSharing in Publer](https://publer.com/help/en/article/how-to-use-autosharing-in-publer-g2k1b4/). * Enable **Share to Instagram story**. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/e/e/f/b/eefbebed3e091800/screenshot-2026-09-08-at-12125_13nz22n.png) || The post will be shared to the Instagram account linked to your Threads account. The Instagram account does not need to be connected separately to Publer. * Choose how you want the Story to appear by selecting a **Light background** or **Dark background**. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/e/e/f/b/eefbebed3e091800/screenshot-2026-09-08-at-12125_1vdh6b8.png) * Click **Save**. * Finish creating your post and publish or schedule it as usual. * Once the Threads post is published, it will automatically be shared to the Story of the Instagram account linked to that Threads account. || The Instagram Story is created from the published Threads post, so the Threads post must be published first. * You can check your story on the respective Instagram account. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/e/e/f/b/eefbebed3e091800/screenshot-2026-09-08-at-13241_a5pao3.png) ### To set up Instagram Story cross-sharing from Post Presets: You can also make this the default behavior for new Threads posts by using **Post Presets**. * Go to the Threads account settings in Publer. * Open [**Post Presets**](https://publer.com/help/en/article/how-to-specify-post-presets-for-a-social-account-qtjiw1/). * Find **Default auto-share** and click **Add auto-share**. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/e/e/f/b/eefbebed3e091800/screenshot-2026-09-08-at-13134_jnsuq9.png) * Enable **Share to Instagram story**. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/e/e/f/b/eefbebed3e091800/screenshot-2026-09-08-at-13141_1d29b4l.png) * Choose a **Light background** or **Dark background**. * Click **Save**. Once enabled, new posts created for that Threads account will automatically use these [AutoShare](https://publer.com/help/en/article/how-to-use-autosharing-in-publer-g2k1b4/) settings by default. || Post Presets apply to new posts created in Publer. You can still change the [AutoShare](https://publer.com/help/en/article/how-to-use-autosharing-in-publer-g2k1b4/) settings for an individual post from the composer. ### Keep in mind: * The Instagram account does not need to be connected separately to Publer. * It must be the Instagram account linked to the Threads account you are posting from. * The Threads post must be published before it can be shared to the Instagram Story. * You can choose between a **Light background** and **Dark background** for the Story. * You can enable **Share to Instagram story** for individual posts from the composer or set it as the default from **Post Presets**. * If the original Threads post is deleted before it is shared, there will be no post to cross-share. * Threads post limitations still apply. You can check the supported post types and limitations [here](https://publer.com/help/en/article/what-post-types-are-supported-and-what-are-their-limitations-1687rte/). ### DesktopEnd ### MobileStart You can also cross-share Threads posts to Instagram Stories from the Publer mobile app. # To cross-share a Threads post to an Instagram Story on mobile: * Open the Publer app and tap the **+** button. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/e/e/f/b/eefbebed3e091800/img1016_173qqey.jpg) * Select the Threads account you want to post from. * Create your Threads post and add any media you want. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/e/e/f/b/eefbebed3e091800/img3405_1urzwx6.jpg) * Tap the composer, then tap the **+** icon below it. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/e/e/f/b/eefbebed3e091800/img3407_16syije.jpg) * Select **Auto share**. | To learn more about AutoSharing, check out [how to use AutoSharing in Publer](https://publer.com/help/en/article/how-to-use-autosharing-in-publer-g2k1b4/). ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/e/e/f/b/eefbebed3e091800/img3408_1fqp563.jpg) * Enable **Share to Instagram story**. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/e/e/f/b/eefbebed3e091800/img3410_x06du6.jpg) || Your post will be shared as a Story on the Instagram account linked to your Threads account.
