Instagram doesn't have a built-in feature that allows you to repost items on your feed for your followers. This can be frustrating given how content-rich the platform is, and you can find something of interest every time you open the app, whether it's a post, a story, or a reel. So if you've found something you want to reshare in the app, keep reading for a list of solutions you can use to repost on Instagram.

In general, you can share any post, story (that you're tagged in) or Reel as a story or send it via direct messages. There is no option to repost the content as a regular post. This is something you can already do on platforms like X (formerly Twitter), LinkedIn and even Instagram's sister app Facebook. That's why we're going to explore some other methods of reposting content on Instagram.

This is the easiest way to repost a photo post you've stumbled across on Instagram. You can just take a screenshot of the post and then re-upload it from your account while crediting the original author.

You can crop the screenshot using the editing options you get within Instagram to get rid of unnecessary UI elements in the post itself. Just be sure to get permission from the original author by sending them a DM and crediting them in the captions.
