\nIf you\u2019 ve tried sharing your Instagram posts to other social media accounts in the last day or two, you may have noticed the available sharing options trimmed down slightly. As it stands, there are options for Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr, and nothing else.
Do you get the feeling something\u2019s missing, but aren\u2019 t sure what exactly? Let me save you some time: the Swarm and Flickr options are gone.
Foursquare Swarm, the check-in app that lets you earn points for every time you check in, and Flickr were removed from the share list last week with little apparent fanfare \u2014 or mourning, for that matter.
Swarm confirmed on Twitter that the integration had been removed:
A Flickr staff member addressed the situation on the Flickr forums, citing this pending removal as the reason for Instagram\u2019s refusal to fix a longstanding bug. Flickr\u2019s Twitter also retweeted an IFTTT workaround for sharing Instagram posts to Flickr. Apparently IFTTT took notice of the situation:
We\u2019 ve contacted Instagram to see why the share options were removed and will update this post if we hear back.
