How to Upload Instagram Photos Without Launching the App

June 8, 2016 10:18 AM EDT

Instagram just made uploading photos and videos to its platform a little bit quicker for iPhone users.

A recently released update introduces a shortcut that allows Instagrammers to publish photos directly from the iPhone’s Photos or Camera app. While it’s possible to add a caption through this shortcut, users will have to launch the Instagram app to apply filters.

Apple has allowed third-party apps to plug into its core features like the camera since iOS 8 debuted in 2014, but Instagram only just started supporting this feature.

Here’s how to access the shortcut:

Launch the Photos or Camera app on your iPhone.

Select the photo you’d like to upload to Instagram.

Tap the share button.

A list of apps should appear under the selected image. Scroll over to the right and press the More button.

Find Instagram in the list of apps and make sure the switch is toggled on.

Press the Done button in the upper right corner to return to the Share screen.

Now the Instagram icon should appear in the selection of apps underneath your photo. Tap the icon to share the selected image to Instagram.
