That is how you would build the feature. Instagram gets a list of the Twitter accounts I follow, and looks to see if any of them already have an account.

- GuiA 14y agoOh ok, I thought there was a more complex feature of the Twitter API. Getting the list of people a given user follows is such a basic API feature that I was genuinely surprised Twitter would disable it for Instagram.
- abraham 14y agoMy guess is Twitter doesn't want Facebook to have access to their friend graph and Facebook did the same thing to them a while ago.
