Instagram Stories are a great way to share pictures of your real-time activities. They have a 24-hour timer, after which the image is saved to your archives. You can also repost Stories to share with your followers and other users.
There are various ways to repost a Story on Instagram, like adding it to your own Story and uploading your stories to your post feed.
Here’s a step-by-step process on how to reshare an Instagram Story using repost apps, as well as how to post them on your feed.
How to Repost a Story on Instagram
Instagram Stories are the videos and images that play on a loop for 24 hours on the top of your Instagram app.
There are two main ways to repost an Instagram Story: adding someone else’s Story to your Story or reposting your own Story as a regular Instagram post.
Here’s what you should know about each method…
How to Reshare an Instagram Story You’ve Been Tagged In
While perusing Stories on Instagram, you may see a Story you like and want to share on your Instagram account.
It’s important to note that in order to reshare an Instagram Story, you need to be tagged or mentioned in that person’s post.
Otherwise, the option to share does not appear on that Story.
To repost an Instagram Story and add it to your Story (after you’ve been tagged):
- Go to your Direct Messages in the Instagram app.
- Tap on the Instagram Story you’ve been tagged in.
- Select the Add This to Your Story option at the bottom.
- From here, you can edit your Story by adding text, music, or stickers, and then select the Your Story icon on the bottom left to share the Story.
Previously, Instagram allowed users to repost someone’s Storyif their account was public. But now, you need to be tagged in the post to share it. You can still share public Stories as a message or link, but not as part of your own Story.
Using Apps to Repost Instagram Stories
There is a way to share Instagram Stories without being tagged, but you will need to download a third-party application.
Once you log into your Instagram account, these Instagram repost apps will showcase the Instagram Stories your friends have posted, and you can repost them to your Instagram feed via the app.
How to Repost Your Instagram Story to Your Profile
When you want to make sure your post is visible to your followers on both Instagram Stories and your Instagram feed, you can repost your stories for maximum exposure.
To do this, you will need to first publish your Story and then share it as a separate post.
To repost your Instagram Story as a post on your Instagram feed:
- Go to the Instagram Story you want to share.
- Tap on the More button in the bottom right corner.
- Select the Share as Post option.
- From here, you can add a filter or crop your photo or video.
- On the New Post screen, you can add a caption, location, and tag people. Then, click the Share button to upload it as a feed post.
Your Story will now be reposted as a regular Instagram post.
How to Reshare an Instagram Post to Your Story
When you see a post that you like in your Instagram feed or on another user’s account, you can repost it on your own Instagram Story. It will be visible to your followers for up to 24 hours.
To share a post as an Instagram Story:
- Click the paper airplane icon on the left side of the post.
- Select the Add post to your Story option.
- Tap the Your Story icon on the bottom left of the post to share it.
Following these steps will automatically share the post to your Instagram Story. Keep in mind you cannot share sponsored advertisement posts to your Story.
Also, the user’s account must be public if you wish to share their posts with everyone. Private account posts can only be shared among mutual followers.
Now that you know how to repost an Instagram Story in different ways, you can learn how to make your Instagram Stories more engaging.
Creative Ways to Share on Instagram
Instagram Stories are an interesting and engaging way to interact with your followers. Now you know the different methods to share posts and Stories from other users.
Sometimes you might need third-party apps to assist the process. Reposting content from other users on your own Story is a great way to engage followers and provide them with interesting and entertaining material.
