  1. Why is share function in Photo app so limited?


    I would like to post photos that I have edited in Photo App to Instagram. I'm running Windows 10 and have Instagram installed. Reinstalling Instagram doesn't help to add this site to the share options. Millions of others must find this frustrating as well. Why not have a short list of popular photo sharing apps, e.g Instagram, Google photos etc. you can access from the Photo app, as well as Facebook and Twitter . Is this a territorial thing, i.e. anything Microsoft doesn't own or can sell is of no interest? I have suggested they include this improvement with the next Windows 10 upgrade, but don't really expect this will happen.

    :)

    How to make shared photo directory visible in PICTURES app in WindowsMoblie 10?

    Hello Piotr,

    Shared photos from OneDrive can only be viewed by the owner of the photos on the Photos app. The person you shared it with can only view or edit it on OneDrive. We would recommend that you send a suggestion in
    Feedback Hub app to make this feature available on Windows 10 Mobile.

    To send a suggestion, you can follow the steps below:

    • Go to All apps, search for the Feedback Hub
      app.
    • Open the menu icon at the top left side.
    • Select Feedback, then at the top right side, tap the add button (+).
    • Select Suggestion and fill up the box with the details needed.
    • Select the right category for the suggestion and then submit.

    Feel free to post back if you need further assistance.
