To repost an Instagram post, you have several options depending on whether you want to share it to your Story or your Feed:

Reposting to Instagram Story

• Find the post you want to share.
• Tap the paper airplane icon below the post.
• Select "Add post to your Story."
• This opens the Story editor where you can resize the post, add text, stickers, or other effects.
• Tap "Your Story" to share it.
  This method keeps the original poster credited and is quick and easy

Reposting to Your Instagram Feed

Instagram does not have a built-in feature to repost directly to your feed, so you need to use workarounds:

Screenshot Method

• Take a screenshot of the post you want to share.
• Crop the image to remove unwanted parts using Instagram’s crop tool or a photo editor.
• Upload the cropped screenshot as a new post.
• In the caption, credit the original poster by tagging their username.
• It’s best practice to ask for permission from the original poster before reposting

Using Third-Party Apps or Downloaders

• Copy the link of the Instagram post (tap the three dots on the post and select "Copy Link").
• Paste the link into an Instagram downloader tool (e.g., SnapInsta, ToolZu).
• Download the photo or video.
• Upload it to your Instagram feed as a new post.
• Credit the original creator and ask for permission if possible

Reposting Stories You’re Tagged In

• Go to your Instagram messages where you receive the tag notification.
• Tap "Add to Your Story."
• Edit and post the Story with the original content included
