On X or Twitter, one of the popular features is “Repost”. It allows a user to share another user’s share to their profile, thus allowing it to be reached and read by other friends. Now, Instagram is reportedly testing a similar feature.
For your information, Instagram previously tested the feature around 2022, and it seems that now they are testing the feature again. Instagram seems to want to see what users think about the feature before introducing it widely.
Today, Instagram is ready to allow users to reshare Instagram Stories when tagged. This tested feature also allows resharing photos or videos published on the Instagram Feed.
At the moment, it is not known what Instagram’s full plans are with this feature. Since the resharing feature is already popular on Threads, it is not impossible that it will also be extended to social media focusing on the visual.
