Sharing Moments

What's in the share sheet

Updated

Every option you'll see when you open the share sheet, decoded.

The share sheet layout

When you tap the share icon, a sheet slides up from the bottom with two rows of options:

Row 1 — In-app friends

A horizontal scroll of avatars showing your top friends and recent chats. Tap any avatar to send the moment directly to that person inside Currently. (See Send to a chat (in-app).)

Row 2 — External destinations

Five buttons across the bottom:

ButtonWhat it does
StoryPosts the moment as your Instagram Story
ChatOpens your most recent in-app chat to forward the moment
ShareOpens your phone's system share sheet (WhatsApp, SMS, Telegram, anywhere)
CopyCopies a shareable link to your clipboard
SaveSaves the moment to your private saved list or downloads it to your phone

Buttons you see depend on the moment. Not every button shows up on every moment. Close Friends moments and Private moments have a limited share sheet — usually only Save works. See Why some moments can't be shared for the full list of restrictions.
