To repost an Instagram post, the easiest and most current method is to use Instagram's built-in repost feature introduced in 2025:
- Find the public post or reel you want to repost.
- Tap the new "Repost" icon (a circular arrow) located below the post, between the comment and share buttons.
- To add a comment or note with your repost, tap the thought bubble icon by your profile picture.
- Add your text and tap "Save" to repost it.
- Your reposted content will appear in your followers' feeds and in the new "Reposts" section on your profile.
- You can undo a repost by holding down the post's thumbnail and selecting "Delete Repost."
Alternatively, to repost to your story:
- Tap the paper airplane icon below the post.
- Choose "Add to Your Story."
- Edit the story with text, mentions, or stickers, then share it.
If you want to repost to your feed (not just story) and the native repost is unavailable:
- Take a screenshot of the post.
- Crop the image.
- Upload it as a new post, tagging and crediting the original creator appropriately.
There are also third-party apps like "Repost for Instagram" that can help repost by copying post links. This native repost method makes reposting content straightforward while automatically crediting the original creator and enabling comments on your reposted posts.
