I also never used Instagram but I guess a share button would just generate a link to the post there and not share a copy of the picture. They want people to come see their content (and ads) and not content to be sent to the people outside their platform. It’s a walled garden afterall.
is it really easier to make a screenshot instead of just hitting “share”?
in my last workplace, support put pictures into word documents instead of sending them directly, this gives me the same vibes
edit: oh i see it’s insta, makes more sense now
Never used Insta; does it not have share or even a download button? What kind of social media app doesn’t have a share button?
you can’t even zoom on pictures and have them stay zoomed in on instagram.
