It looks like Twitter is contact ususing Instagram to promote its own app.

On Wednesday, Twitter's official Instagram account shared its first posts in a while and in doing so savagely called out Instagram for the fact that so many people use the photo-sharing app to post screenshots of tweets.

In six separate Instagram posts, Twitter posted a screenshots of an Aug, 9 2019, tweet from @Miagrassia28 that reads, "instagram is literally just screenshots of tweets and i think @Twitter should call them out." Burn. 🔥

After Twitter's troll post began to gain traction, Twitter began doing exactly what it called out Instagram for and started posting additional screenshots of tweets to its account. Instagram has been sharing content to Twitter for quite some time now, and Twitter has posted to Instagram before, but deleted its posts to start fresh trolling. According to Twitter's Instagram bio, Twitter's IG account now solely exists to share "Screenshots of Tweets." What a time to be alive.
