How to Repost an Instagram Post to a StoryMost Instagram posts made by public accounts can be shared as part of your Instagram story for your followers to see. This is the only official way to share a post made by other people on Instagram, and it's popular due to its simplicity and how it links back to the original creator.
How to Share an Instagram Story on Your Own AccountWhile it's possible to share some Instagram stories made by others to your followers, it must meet some requirements:
When you're tagged in an Instagram story, you'll receive a DM via Instagram Direct notifying you. If the account tagging you is public and allows sharing of their content, you should see a link in the message; to repost this story within a new story on your account, tap Add This to Your Story, and then proceed with the instructions from above. You don’t need to follow the account to repost one of their Instagram stories. How to Repost an Instagram Story if You’re Not TaggedWhile there are numerous third-party apps that let you repost someone else’s Instagram posts, there aren’t any that support the reposting of Instagram stories. However, one way to get around this restriction is to use your device’s screenshot or screen recording features. You can take a screenshot on an iOS device or Android device without needing additional apps. For example, you can take a screenshot of someone else’s Instagram story while you’re watching it, and then upload that screenshot to a new story. Likewise, you can use screen recording to record an Instagram story video, then repost that video in your own story. When recording someone else’s Instagram story via a screen recording, the recorded video also contains UI elements from the Instagram app. You can remove these by using two fingers to move and resize the video while composing your new story. How to Repost a Video or Photo Post on InstagramThere's no built-in way to repost photos or repost videos on Instagram. To get around this restriction, you need to download a third-party app. Fortunately, there are a large number of such apps for both iOS and Android, and most of them are free to download and use. Download Repost for Instagram from Google Play if you have an Android device, or get Repost for Instagram from the App Store if you have an iOS device. Both apps are free and don’t require you to log in with your Instagram or Facebook account information. The following instructions are for the Regrammer iOS app, but each step is practically identical to how you would use the Repost for Instagram app on Android.
