To repost on Instagram using the new native feature, follow these steps:
- Find a public reel or post you want to repost.
- Tap the "Repost" button, which looks like circular arrows.
- Optionally add a comment or text to your repost by tapping the bubble by your profile picture.
- Tap "Save," and the repost will appear in the "Reposts" section of your profile.
- Your followers can see the reposted content, and the original creator gets credited automatically.
If you want to repost to your story:
- Tap the paper airplane icon below the post.
- Select "Add to Your Story."
- Edit your story as you like (add text, tags, stickers).
- Post it.
For stories you are tagged in, you can repost directly by tapping "Add to Your Story" from the messages where you get the tag. If you want to repost someone else's post or reel to your feed and the native repost feature is unavailable, you can take a screenshot or screen record (for video), then upload it as a new post, always crediting the original creator by tagging them or mentioning them in the caption. It's best practice to always get permission from the original creator before reposting their content. These are the primary ways to repost on Instagram as of August 2025, making sharing content easier while crediting creators properly.
