You can try this. It worked for me. Directly Instagram story.

    private void shareInstagram(Uri uri) {
        Intent feedIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
        feedIntent.setType("image/*");
        feedIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
        feedIntent.setPackage(Contracts.INSTAGRAM_PACKAGE_NAME);

        Intent storiesIntent = new Intent(Contracts.INSTAGRAM_STORY_ACTION_NAME);
        storiesIntent.setDataAndType(uri, "image/*");
        storiesIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
        storiesIntent.setPackage(Contracts.INSTAGRAM_PACKAGE_NAME);

        this.grantUriPermission(
                Contracts.INSTAGRAM_PACKAGE_NAME, uri, Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);

        feedIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, new Intent[]{storiesIntent});
        startActivity(feedIntent);
    }

with provider.

public Uri getImageUri() {
File directory = new File(Files.statisticsSSPath());
File file = new File(directory, 0 + ".png");
return FileProvider.getUriForFile(Application.context(), Application.context().getPackageName() +".provider",file);
}

Is there a way to get a callback that post/story shared successfully?

Is there any way around for react native/expo ?
