Sharing video to Instagram story works on iOS but not android

[davidwinograd1]

Steps to reproduce

This is my code:

const shareToInstagramStories = async (bite) => {
    const shareOptions = {
      backgroundVideo: bite.url,
      type: 'video/mp4',
      social: Share.Social.INSTAGRAM_STORIES,
      appId: //appId here, 
      forceDialog: true,
      useInternalStorage: true,
    };

    Share.shareSingle(shareOptions)
      .then((res) => {
        console.log(res);
      })
      .catch((err) => {
        console.error(err);
      });
  };

Expected behavior

Should work on both iOS and Android

Actual behavior

Only works on iOS

Funny.

I came here because it seems like Share.Social.INSTAGRAM_STORIES no longer works when I test on iOS (not tested on Android yet). Even if I provide a valid appId, Instagram displays a toast notification that says: "The app you shared from doesn't currently support sharing to Instagram."

It seems like the standard Share.Social.INSTAGRAM option takes users to a unified screen where the user can select if the media goes to a story or a reel or a message.

I was wondering if Share.Social.INSTAGRAM_STORIES was even needed any more.

Here's what Share.Social.INSTAGRAM looks like for me:
