Fans of the chart topping boy band may still be reeling over Zayn's departure from the group a year ago but will be pleased by the 23-year-old singer's recent upload - as a One Direction surfboard can clearly be seen in the background.
Meanwhile, Zayn was previously forced to deny his album release date is anything other than a coincidence, after it was revealed Mind of Mine will be unveiled on March 25, exactly one year after he quit One Direction.
He said: "I don't know, is that how it works out? It's March 25, it wasn't planned that way. It works that way. It just seems to coincide with the iTunes launch and everything. Maybe it's a sign."
