Instagram now allows reposting. The company has opened the possibility of sharing content posted by another person and having it appear in the user’s feed. It’s similar to retweeting on Instagram, something that will completely change the way we understand Instagram.
Although Instagram has repeatedly confirmed in the past that it will not be launching its “Regrams ,” as they are also known, the social network has taken a big step forward in allowing this type of posting.
In fact, Instagram has already updated its own help pages to enable reposting content and explains how to do so. For now, it warns that this feature “is not yet available to all users,” but since it has been published, we can expect it to arrive in the coming weeks.
How to repost a reel or post on Instagram
For now, reposting content on Instagram is only possible through the mobile apps, both for iOS and Android. The feature isn’t enabled on the desktop version of Instagram, but at least you no longer need to rely on third-party apps to repost on Instagram .
With that in mind, here are the steps to repost on Instagram:
– In the Instagram app, go to the Reel or someone else’s content you want to post and tap the “Repost” button, which is identified by two arrows forming a circle (it will appear if you already have the option enabled).
-If you want to add your own text to the repost, tap the “Add a review…” bubble next to your profile picture in the bottom left corner of the post.
-When you’re done, click “Add” and that content will be published.
It will be available in the “Reposts” section of your profile, and your followers will be able to see your repost and comment on it. These comments will be sent to you as direct messages and will not be displayed in your content.
Please note that you can only repost Reels or posts if the original creator allows reposting of their content. You can delete a repost by tapping the “repost” icon on the Reel you’ve posted or by long-pressing on it.
