Ways to Reshare Content From Other Users

Instagram is a powerful social media platform to help increase brand reach and drive new business, but it can be time-consuming and expensive to consistently share content you need to see your engagement grow in the long-term — which is why you should learn how to repost on Instagram.

In this post, we'll show you different free ways to repost on Instagram in a few simple steps. But before diving in, let’s discuss why reposting on Instagram can benefit your brand.

Why should your brand repost on Instagram?

Instagram is one of the largest social media sites on the market. With over one billion monthly active users, brands that incorporate the site into marketing strategy can reach larger audiences and gain visibility faster over other social media channels.

And with an audience like that, you want to consistently post high-quality content — but that can take time, effort, and resources that may not fit your budget just yet. Since most marketers post between 3-4 times per week, you should have a backlog of content to keep up with demand. 

Additionally, user-generated content (UGC) performs exceptionally well. In fact, 90% of consumers say UGC holds more influence over their buying decisions than promotional emails and even search engine results.

For instance, consider the power of Warby Parker reposting this funny image from one of its customers, @cjronson:

 

View this post on Instagram

 

A post shared by Warby Parker (@warbyparker)

Not only does the image likely appeal to Warby Parker customers, but it ultimately made Warby Parker marketers' jobs easier — they didn’t need to create that content in-house.

Reposting to Instagram can help you highlight brand endorsements from your customers, brand loyalists, and employees. UGC is typically considered more trustworthy since a consumer isn't gaining anything by promoting your product or service (unless it's an advertisement) — they're just doing it to tell their audiences that they like your product.

How to Repost on Instagram

Instagram allows you to repost other users’ Reels and posts to your own Instagram Story using its native reposting functionality. However, it has its limits: It doesn’t let you repost to any permanent part of your Instagram profile, including your feed, Reels, or videos.

In other words, Instagram only lets you temporarily share someone else’s content for 24 hours max. If you do want to keep it permanently, you can add it to an Instagram Story Highlight.

If you’re looking to add a post to your permanent feed and credit the original creator, read about how to do that in the next sections. For now, let’s learn how you can repost content to your Story and add it to your highlights.

1. Navigate to the post, Reel, or video you want to repost.

First, find the right content to share with your followers. You can do this through several avenues:

  • Search for industry hashtags and repost popular posts by other brands and influencers
  • Search for branded hashtags, which will show you user-generated content made by your customers and fans
  • See the posts you’ve been tagged in and repost any that align with your brand
  • Find brands that you admire and repost the content that most aligns with your brand

Remember that you can only repost content from users and brands with public profiles.

Note: You can also repost other people’s Stories, so long as you’re tagged in them. You can find those who’ve mentioned you in their Story in your Direct Messages.

2. Click the paper airplane symbol on the post or Reel.

On photos and videos, the button will be located next to the Like and Comment buttons.

On Reels, it will be located between the Comment button and the three dots.

3. On the pop-up menu, click “Add post to your story.”

A pop-up will appear with several options. If you’re sharing a post, you have the option to add it to your story, reply to the poster (if they allow replies), or send the post via Direct Message to anyone you’ve messaged recently.

Similar options appear when you try to share a Reel.

Click Add post to your story or Add reel to your story.

4. Tap to show and hide the post’s caption.

Next, you should see a draft of your story.

You have the option of either showing or hiding the caption. Simply tap the post to toggle between the two.

5. Add text, stickers, hashtags, and other elements.

To get the most engagement possible and align the repost with your brand, spruce up the story with text and other elements. You can even add a link or a call-to-action. Learn how to customize your Instagram Story here.

6.

To share, click “Your Story.”

It’s time to finish your repost. At the bottom, click the button that says “Your Story” at the bottom. This will automatically share it with no additional action required.

You also have the option to click "Close Friends", if you only want a select group to view your story. Last, if you click the right-hand arrow, you’ll see additional options to share the post via DM or with your close friends.

7. Add the shared post to your Highlights.

While Instagram doesn’t allow you to share posts directly to your permanent feed, you can add it to one of your Highlights, which will remain permanently on your profile. Learn how to create Highlights here.

Here’s one example from a stationer called MARK+FOLD:

With Stories, the same best practices should be followed as for sharing a post. If you don’t know the person and suspect the content you’d like to re-share might be licensed material, ask for permission first. Give credit to the original posters whenever possible.

How to Repost on Instagram Using a Screenshot

  1. Take a screenshot of the Instagram post you want to use.
  2. Tap the new post button located on the top right corner, select post.
  3. Resize the photo in the app.
  4. Edit and add filters of your choice.
  5. Add a citation.
  6. Add a caption.
  7. Click share on the top right corner.

The screenshot method doesn't require other websites to repost on Instagram. It's worth nothing that this method only works for reposting photos, not videos.

Here's how to do it.

1. Find a photo on Instagram you'd like to repost, and take a screenshot with your phone.

  • For iOS: Press down on the home and lock buttons simultaneously until your screen flashes.
  • For Android: Press down on the sleep/wake and volume down buttons simultaneously until your screen flashes.

2. Tap the new post button.

Once you've got your screenshot, return to your Instagram account. Tap the "new post button" in the top right of your Instagram screen (the plus sign inside a square).

Then select "Post" (other options include "Story" "Reels" or "Live").

3. Resize the photo in the app.

Keep in mind that your phone will take a screenshot of everything on your screen, not just the photo you want to repost. So, be prepared to crop the sides of the screenshot to capture just the image you want to share with your followers.

After you've cropped or resized the photo to your liking (by pinching the image and then widening your fingers apart), click "Next" in the top-right of your screen.

4. Edit and add filters of your choice.

Edit and filter the post like you would any other Instagram post.

5. Add a citation.

The repost won't include a citation, so we suggest adding one by typing "@ + [username]" to credit the original poster with the photo you're reposting.

6. Add a caption.

At the top you'll see a preview of your post along with space for a caption. You can choose to tag people or organizations, and add a location.

7. Click share.

Once you've finished customizing the post with the options above, click share at the top right corner. The post will be live.

Here's how the finished product looks:

Pro Tip: When reposting content through screenshots, make sure you properly tag or give credit to the original content owner either within your story by linking to their account, or in the description of a post or reel.

How to Repost on Instagram (Photos, Videos, Stories, Reels)

Feeling stuck on what to post on Instagram? Good news: You already have access to a treasure trove of content your audience will love, right in your Instagram Feed. In this post, we’re showing you what, why, and how to repost on Instagram…

…not one, not two, but seven different ways. Between photos, videos, Stories, and Reels, there are lots of options.  Let’s dive in.

Why repost on Instagram?

Reposting on Instagram is a way to ride the momentum of conversations that are already getting lots of engagement among your followers and target audience. It’s a win for both you and the original poster as it garners engagement for you and widens their own exposure. Here are some of the specific benefits of reposting on Instagram:

  • Cultivate community: Acknowledging and uplifting others cultivates an inviting and engaged community around your brand.
  • Save time: This is basically pre-made content that you know will do well and that you can share in just a few steps.
  • Diversify content: Reposting can naturally deliver content from a range of perspectives and backgrounds that resonate with your audience.
  • Get new ideas: When your creative well is running dry, this is a great way to spark inspiration (although you can find dozens of ideas in our Social Media Marketing Lab).
  • Build trust: Sharing valuable content—and not just your own—shows your audience that you know them well and have their best interests (and not just your follower count)


What to repost on Instagram

Repost anything that sparks interest from your audience. Here’s who you can repost from:

  • Influencers: Share content from influencers in your industry that will bring value to your audience.
  • Complementary businesses: These are businesses that share your audience but aren’t competitors. For example, GoPro and Redbull.
  • Accounts that share your core values: For example, you might repost an inspiring quote or demonstration of leadership or great customer service.
  • Customers and followers: User-generated content is any post from your customers or audience that acknowledges your business. Posts with user-generated content yield a 5% higher conversion rate than non-UGC.

As you’ll see in each of the instructions below, you’ll always want to tag the original poster and mention them in your caption.


How to repost on Instagram: photo to Feed

The easiest way to repost Instagram photos to your Feed is the screenshot method.

Step 1: Screenshot the Instagram photo you want to repost.

Step 2: Tap the “new post” button in the top right corner of your Instagram app. When presented with the different content format options, choose “post.”

Step 3: Choose the image from your gallery.

Step 4: Use Instagram’s native cropping tool to resize the image. If you use a certain filter for your feed, you can add it to the photo (if you add filters using third-party apps, you’d edit the screenshot prior to clicking “new post”).

Step 5: Tag the original poster in the photo, then clearly credit them again in your Instagram caption.

Step 6: Tap “share” and wait for users to start engaging.

How to repost an Instagram Story you’re tagged in

What better way to promote your Instagram than through other people? To share posts you’ve been tagged in, the original poster must have their account set to public and the Instagram Sharing Story feature enabled.

Step 1: Check your direct messages to find the Story you’ve been tagged in.

Step 2: After opening the message, you’ll see a button on the message that says “Add this to your Story.”

Image source

Step 3: At this point, you can edit the story by adding GIFs, stickers, drawings, or a typed message. Once you’re satisfied with your masterpiece, tap “next.”

Step 4: Now it’s time to choose who will see your Story. You can add it to your public Story, your Close Friends list, or DM it to a single account.

How to repost an Instagram Story you aren’t tagged in

To repost an Instagram story you aren’t tagged in, you’ll have to either screenshot or use a third-party app like Ming. This also only works if the original poster’s account is public.

Step 1: Tap the Story poster’s username to visit their profile and then tap the three dots in the top right corner of the screen.

Step 2: Click “Copy Profile URL.”

Image source

Step 3: Open Ming and select “Paste Link.”

Step 4: Customize the repost tag according to your preferences.

Step 5: Press “Share”. This will automatically open the repost on Instagram.

Step 6: Select “Story” and press “Send.”

How to repost an Instagram video to your Story

Useful and even entertaining videos make great content to post on Instagram, even if you didn’t create them (but ONLY if you tag the original poster, and only if you do this sparingly). This method for sharing an Instagram video to your Story also works with photo posts. It goes like this:

Step 1: Find the video you want to repost.

Step 2: Tap the paper airplane button below the video (right next to the like and comment icons).

Step 3: A pop-up menu will appear. Tap “Add post to your Story.”

Step 4: The video will appear as a Story draft. Customize the story by adding text, stickers, hashtags, etc. If you tap the video, you can show the original caption in your Story as well.

How to repost an Instagram Reel to your Story

Didn’t find something you liked in our 18 awesome Reels ideas? There are three options for reposting an Instagram Reel. Sharing the Reel to your Story is the easiest option. Simply tap the paper airplane icon and follow the same steps you would when adding an Instagram video to your Story.

 

How to repost an Instagram Reel to your feed

To repost a Reel directly to your profile, you can either screen record or use a third-party app.

For the screen recording method, follow these steps:

Step 1: Screen record the Instagram Reel you want to repost.

Step 2: Head to your camera roll to crop out the background. We just want the video content.

Step 3: Tap the “New Post” button in the top right corner of your Instagram app. When presented with the different content format options, choose “Reel”.

Step 4: Use Instagram’s native trimming tool to edit the video, making sure to cut out any footage from before and after the video started playing in your screen recording.

If you use a certain filter for your feed, you can add it to the video (if you add filters using third-party apps, you’d edit the screen recording prior to tapping “New Post”).

Step 5: Clearly credit the original poster in your caption copy.

Step 6: Tap “Share” and wait for users to start engaging.

How to repost an Instagram Reel to your Feed without screen recording

To add an Instagram Reel to your Feed without screen recording, you’ll need to download the Repost app then follow the steps below.

  1. Open Instagram and find the Reel you want to repost. Tap the three dots then press “Copy link.”
  2. Next, open the Repost app. The link will automatically paste. Choose the Reel you want to repost.
  3. Press “Share” and the Reel will save to your camera roll. You can now post it to your feed as normal. Make sure to credit the original poster in your caption.

More Instagram repost apps

Instagram repost apps aren’t one size fits all. Different apps have different features. Play around to see which one works best for your content strategy. In addition to the two already mentioned (Repost app from the App Store and Ming from the App Store), here are some Instagram repost apps we recommend you try out:

1. Reposta

Reposta on Google Play is super straightforward. It features a short list of instructions on the launch screen to guide you through the reposting process. Additionally, you get a few options for pasting a link, grabbing the link from Instagram, or sharing directly to the app.

2. Sepia Software’s Repost for Instagram

Repost for Instagram app for iPad gives you two interface options: compact for adjusting the image you’re reposting and expanded so you can see the image and caption all in one place. You can also adjust the color and position of the original poster’s watermark, which is pretty neat.

3. Repost for Instagram- Regrann

Regrann on Google Play is a solid option for users who repost often and want to try out four different reposting modes. You can save the repost to your camera roll or share directly to Instagram. There are a few “quick modes” that streamline the reposting process according to your preferences.

Now you can repost your heart out, seven different ways! But don’t get carried away—most of your content should be your own original content. And as always, be sure to credit the original poster!

How to repost on Instagram: +11 sure ways

On Instagram, you can repost stories, posts and IGTV videos, but not all users know how to do it.

What will be in the article: we will talk about all the ways to share content on Instagram and describe each in detail. nine0005

Advertising: 2VtzqwCpaPT

We consider each way to repost on Instagram.

Repost a post through the application

To share someone else's post in your feed, you need to download the application (there is no such functionality inside Instagram yet).

There are several apps for reposting on iOS and Android, look for the phrase Repost Instagram in the name, you can't go wrong: Reposter for Instagram, Repost for Instagram Stories, QuickRepost for Instagram, Easy Repost for Instagram. nine0005

P.S. It is better to use applications and services that indicate the author's login in the post (or photo) that you share - this way you will not violate copyrights by posting someone else's content. As a last resort, you can always mark a person on Instagram manually, but it’s still better when there is a mark both in the photo and in the description.

Consider the example of the application Repost for Instagram - Regram.

This is an Android app, you can find it in the Google Play marketplace. There are similar apps on the iPhone, like 'Repost for Instagram'. All these services work by analogy, so the Reposta example will work for any other application. nine0005

Open the application. We click on the Instagram icon in the upper right corner, and we are automatically transferred to Instagram. That is, if you are already authorized on Insta, you do not need to enter any additional logins and passwords. This is a plus for the application.

On Instagram, select the post you want to share. Click on the post menu (3 dots). In the window that opens, click on the "Copy link" item.

We go back to the Regram application, and it will automatically recognize the copied link. Click on the post. nine0005

A photo opens, the application automatically puts the author's login on it. You can change the location of the plate, for example, put it at the top of the photo. You can also completely remove the mention of the author, but we do not recommend doing this, as this is already considered theft. The plate settings are on the left under the photo.

The letters LDB at the bottom right allow you to change the color of the plate. L is white, D is black, and B allows you to customize the color from the proposed palette. nine0005

The letters SS at the top above the photo allow you to copy the description - you can use it in full, or you can use hashtags. Better completely. The application substitutes a hashtag and a mark - #Repost @author's login before the author's description.

In the application menu (3 dots) you can also look at the author's profile, open his Instagram post or replace the photo.

To repost, click on the button with two arrows (the first in the row). The button in the center saves the photo to the device, and the right button with the “Share” icon allows you to send the photo to other social networks, instant messengers and email (but this is not necessary, since this function is in Insta itself). nine0005

The application tells you how to insert a description with authorship. Choose where to send the post - to Direct (Chats), tape (Feed) or Stories (Stories).

If we send it to the feed, then we are transferred to the standard post settings (for example, you can apply a filter). At the stage of adding a description, paste the text copied in advance to the clipboard. You can also add your own description. Next, save the post as usual.

P.S. Recently, many of these applications do not post photos with a badge in the feed, although this badge is in the settings. But at the stage of publication, it disappears, and just a photo is posted. Perhaps this is due to changes in Instagram itself. Places in stories with a badge:

What to do if the post is received without a badge with authorship - you can save the photo to the gallery through the Regram application (the button in the center), and then post it on Instagram in the standard way, after saving the author's description to the clipboard exchange. It turns out a little more action, but without copyright infringement. nine0005

This is interesting: What to do if your content is stolen on Instagram

How to repost a post from Instagram to VK and other social networks

Such a repost is configured when posting. First, we add a photo (from the gallery or take it with a camera), then we edit it (for example, apply filters) and at the stage of adding a description, geotags and friend marks, at the bottom in the settings we find the “Where else to share” item. Move the slider to the ON position (in blue). You can share only in 4 social networks - Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Odnoklassniki. For the first time, you will need to link accounts from these social networks to Instagram. If you turn on this feature during publication, then announcements of new posts will be automatically posted on these social networks. nine0005

Repost a post in Direct

You can share a post in private messages without third-party applications. We find the post in the feed, click on the airplane icon below it, a list of contacts opens with whom we want to share the post. Click "Submit".

The second way is to open the post menu (3 dots in the upper right corner above the post), then "Share to". Among the methods, select "Chats" with the instagram icon. A list of contacts opens, click on the "Submit" button, and the post flies to Direct. nine0005

Repost a post in stories

Repost a post in stories in the same way as in Direct — click on the airplane icon under the post, a list of contacts opens, above them there will be a line “Add a post to your story”, click.

The story editor opens, the author's login will be indicated under the publication.

P.S. The method will not work if the author of the content has a private profile - then when you open the contact list, you will see the inscription "Closed account" with a lock icon and an explanation that the listed contacts will not be able to see the content of the author if they are not subscribed to it. In this case, you can save a post with a badge and the author's mark through the Regram application to the device's gallery (the first section describes how), and then add a picture to the story in the usual way and add a sticker with the post's author's mark. However, if the author of the content has closed his profile from strangers, he will probably not be happy that his content ended up in someone else's story, so it's best to get permission from the author to repost first. nine0170

Repost stories to post

Open a published story, click on the "More" icon with three dots. Select "Share to Post".

Editing a photo - cropping, adding filters (everything is the same as when adding a standard post). It turns out a regular post with a non-clickable author's login.

Repost stories in Direct

Open the published story, click on the "Share" icon (or 3 dots in the upper right corner, then "Share to"). The methods depend on whose story you are reposting - yours or someone else's. nine0005

In the window that opens, select Chats, then the desired contact from the list.

Similar actions allow you to send stories to instant messengers, social networks and mail. There is a separate button for reposting on Facebook in stories, located next to the "Share" button. You can turn on automatic reposting to Facebook in your privacy settings.

The second way, go to "More" and select "Send ..." - a list of contacts will open.

Repost story to story

To repost stories in stories, 3 conditions must be met:

  1. You must be noted in the story. You can't just repost other stories like that.
  2. You can only repost stories from open accounts.
  3. The author of the content must have permission to repost stories enabled in the settings.

Suppose all these conditions are met. Procedure:

As soon as you are tagged in your story, you will receive a notification. We click on it. nine0005

A story opens with an Add to Story button at the bottom. Click. The normal story editor opens. The username of the author will be indicated in the history.

How to allow other people to repost stories

Go to your account settings, section "Privacy". Find the "History" tab.

Scroll down to the "Reposts" item and switch the sliders to the ON position opposite the "Allow reposts in stories" and "Allow sharing" sub-items. nine0005

Repost video from IGTV

Repost to stories

To share a published video from IGTV to stories, open it and click on the airplane icon. Then, above the contacts, click on the item "Add video to your story."

Repost to Direct

To send a video to Direct, click on the 3 dots next to the airplane icon, select "Share to ...".

Then Chats.

Repost to Instagram feed

You can repost from IGTV to a post in the form of an announcement only when uploading a video to IGTV. We will not describe in detail the process of creating and publishing a video - instructions are in the article "How to add a video to IGTV".
