Description

Description

After posting a instagram post on Wordpress, next to the like and comment buttons would be a download icon. This icon when tapped has no function other than animating the button briefly. Tapping any of the other icons, or anywhere within the post would open the post in instagram.
If the same post is viewed in Instagram, the post actually won’t have a download icon here, and instead has a send icon in it's place.

Reproduction Rate

4/4 100%

Expected behavior

The user should be taken to Instagram to match the functionality on the other button presses.

Actual behavior

Nothing happens other than the icon animating.

Steps to reproduce the behavior
1. Launch Wordpress wpandroid-14.1-rc-1-universal.apk
2. Log into an account. 
3. Create a post and include an Instagram post. 
4. Find that post, and tap the “Download” icon on the post. 
Tested on the following

iPhone XS (12.3.1)

Please see attached video.
Android - Download Insta Button.zip
