The Instagram Stories* section is amazing with so many possibilities. Among them there are functions without which the SMM manager is like without hands. Let's talk about simple but effective: how to share a story on Instagram*, post an IGTV announcement or a post there.

Let's figure out what exactly you can repost in your stories:

• other people's stories on which you are tagged;
• posts from your feed;
• posts from someone else's feed;
• videos from the IGTV section - from your own or someone else's account (preview 15 seconds).

Let's see how it works.

How to repost stories on Instagram* that you are tagged in

When your account is tagged in a story, a tag notification will be sent to your private messages. It also contains an active "Add Story" link to click on.

The standard window for editing Stories will open. Optionally, you can add a link (available for accounts with more than 10,000 followers), stickers, text, and filters.

Next, send the post to your stories. Done - you are amazing!

How to repost a video or photo from your feed to Stories

To share your or someone else's post on your story, click on the airplane icon below the post and select "Add post to your Story". The story editing page will open, where you can add a link, stickers, and more. nine0003 Share the post in your Story and enjoy

By the way, if you don't want your stories to be reposted all in a row, disable this feature in the settings.

How to repost a video from the IGTV section to your Story

The principle here is the same as for posts. If you want to share, for example, a cool live stream, start watching in the IGTV section of the blogger who hosted it, click the plane below the video and select "Add video to your Story." nine0003 Post from your Story with some kind of inscription to encourage viewing

Repost via SMMplanner

For those who like to work from a computer, the SMMplanner delayed posting service allows you to repost posts in the Stories of any of your Instagram accounts*.

If you select a project with several accounts, you will be able to announce the post of one account in the History of another. nine0003

Read more about delayed posting of Stories with cool design in the article “Delayed Instagram* Stories Constructor by SMMplanner”.

Reposts on Instagram* is a useful feature for effective work on account content:

1. With the help of reposts of publications in Stories, you can announce new posts. We recommend doing this immediately or 4 hours after the release of the post. Everyone who missed the appearance of the publication in the feed will see the announcement in the stories. Use catchy headlines to keep users interested. nine0010
2. With the help of reposts with your marks, you can stimulate the activity of subscribers and generate user-generated content. Use social proof to increase the credibility of your products or services with your followers.
3. By promoting a video from IGTV, you contribute to the growth of video views. If the number of views grows significantly, the video will move up and be in the recommended feed, which will also increase the reach.

Instagram: privacy and security settings

Social network accounts, especially popular ones, are a tasty morsel for attackers. And it is easiest to hack what is poorly protected. Therefore, we regularly remind you that it is worth taking care of the security of your accounts, as far as social networks allow it.

Unfortunately, security and privacy settings are often difficult to understand. Moreover, developers change them from time to time. For example, Instagram settings have recently been updated. We tell you what is useful in them and where to look for this useful. nine0003

Setting up account security on Instagram

New Instagram settings allow you to even more securely protect against unauthorized account login and identity theft.

To find your security settings:

• Open your profile.
• Click on the three bars in the upper right corner of the screen.
• Select Settings .
• Go to section Security .

Where to find the security settings in the Instagram app

The password is the head of everything

The first rule of security for any account is to set a good, long, unique password. Attackers will not be able to quickly pick it up and will not find it in the databases that they managed to steal from other sites, which means they will not be able to hack into your account. At least, if you do not give out your password yourself or it does not leak from the social network itself.

How to set up two-factor authentication on Instagram

To be on the safe side in case your password is leaked, turn on two-factor authentication. Every time someone tries to log in on a new device on your behalf, the social network will request a one-time code from SMS or from a special application. Thus, you will always be aware of login attempts, and it will be impossible to hack your account without knowing the code. nine0003

To enable two-factor authentication:

• Select Two-factor authentication .
• Press Start .
• Choose how you want to receive codes: via SMS or two-factor authentication app .

How to set up two-factor authentication in the Instagram app

An added bonus - after enabling this feature, the social network will give you backup codes . They will help you log into your profile if you don’t have a phone at hand that should receive SMS or on which an application for generating one-time codes is installed (yes, you can do this too - see this post for more details). Write down the backup codes and keep in a safe place.

How to check in the app if you received a real email from Instagram

Instagram developers have figured out how to protect their users from phishing via email. Now in the application settings you can see what letters the social network has sent you over the past two weeks. If you received a letter supposedly from Instagram, but it is not in the application, you can safely send it to spam. nine0003

To see which social media notifications are real:

• Select Emails from Instagram .
• Look for the email you're interested in under the Security tab if it's about login attempts, suspicious activity from your account, and so on. If it's about something else, check if it's on the tab Other .

Where to find a list of apps connected to Instagram

Another source of danger is third-party sites and apps. They are connected to expand the capabilities of the social network, for example, add photo filters or convenient marketing tools. However, if such an application is hacked or its authors are dishonest, your account can be used for criminal purposes. You can view the list of connected applications and sites and remove everything superfluous in the same section Security , in block Apps and websites .

Setting up Instagram privacy?

Instagram allows you not only to keep your profile safe, but also to restrict access to your photos, videos, stories and other data. You can hide personal content from prying eyes, save yourself and friends from offensive comments, and prevent subscribers from sharing your stories and posts with others. For this:

• Open your profile.
• Click on the three bars in the upper right corner of the screen.
• Select Settings .
• Go to section Privacy .

How to close your Instagram account

If Instagram is not a promotion site for you, but a place to share pictures and videos with friends, you can make your account private:

• Open Account Privacy .
• Enable Closed account .

How to close your Instagram account

Now only followers you have approved will see your posts and stories. True, there are some nuances. Firstly, everyone who managed to subscribe to you before is automatically considered approved by the social network. If you do not agree with it, then you need to do this:

• Section Privacy select Accounts you follow .
• On the Followers tab, find and remove those you don't want to show your posts and stories to.

How to edit your Instagram followers list

Secondly, if you repost an Instagram photo to another social network, it will be seen by everyone who can see your posts on that social network. So if you do this often, don't forget to set up privacy on other social networks as well.

How to control who sees your Instagram stories

If you are an insta-blogger and it is not convenient for you to close your account, you can control access to specific content. For example, Instagram allows you to hide stories from individual users, publish some of them only to your list of close friends, and limit or even turn off the ability to respond to them. All this is done in section Privacy in block History . There you can also prevent readers from sharing your stories in messages and showing your posts in their stories. nine0003

How to control who sees your Instagram stories

To protect yourself and your followers from abuse and spam, you can automatically hide inappropriate comments using Instagram filters or your own. You can configure this in section Privacy , in block Comments . In the same place, you can prohibit especially gifted spammers from commenting on your photos and videos.

How to get rid of direct spam on Instagram

The social network allows you to prevent strangers from writing you private messages and adding you to groups. If you are annoyed by spam in direct or you think that messages are your private space, open in section Privacy block Messages and select Only people you follow for both items.

How to hide your online status on Instagram

If you don't want your readers to know when you're online, you can hide your online status from them. To do this, select in section Privacy item Network status and deactivate the switch. True, after that you will also not be able to see information about the activity of other users.

Finally, spammers and other annoying readers can be blocked or restricted from accessing their account. To do this, click on the objectionable profile three dots in the upper right corner and select Block or Restrict access .

How to block or restrict someone from accessing your Instagram

Restricted account holders will still be able to view your photos and videos and even leave comments on them, but only you and the author will see these comments. nine0003

You can also put the user in silent mode if you are tired of his stories and posts in the feed. This can also be done in his profile:

• Press the button Subscriptions .
• Select Switch to silent mode .
• Enable mute mode for Stories , Posts or both.

Setting the Instagram user to silent mode

Your friend will not know anything about it, and you can take a break from the flurry of his photos and look at them only when you are in the mood - his profile will remain visible to you. nine0003

How to remove unnecessary push notifications in the Instagram app

Instagram, like any social network, by default sends more notifications than you need. To avoid annoying pop-up notifications that one of your friends has posted a photo for the first time in a long time, you can turn them off. To do this:

• Open your profile.
• Click on the three bars in the upper right corner of the screen.
• Select Settings . nine0010
• Go to section Notices .
• Go through the list of push notifications and turn them off for any events you don't want to know about right away. If you don't want to be notified at all, for example when you're playing or watching a series, select Pause all and set how long Instagram will remain silent.
