Instagram Repost: How to repost your friends' posts
With Instagram Repost you can share posts from friends and acquaintances in your own Instagram feed. If you find an interesting post on Instagram, you can publish it on your Instagram timeline using the app.
Instagram Repost: How it works
If you would like to share a third-party contribution in your picture gallery or story, this is only possible as a repost. We show you how this works in the following points.
- Download the "Repost for Instagram" app from the Repost website. These are available for both Android and IOS.
- The prerequisite is that the Instagram app is installed on your smartphone.
- Start "Repost for Instagram" and click on the "Open Instagram" button (see screenshot 1) .
- Give the app the necessary permissions to access Instagram. Now Instagram opens on your smartphone.
- Find the post you'd like to share in your feed.
- Now click on the three dots in the post on the top right and select the "Copy link" option (see screenshot 2) .
- The selected post has now been automatically recognized and saved by the Repost app. Close Instagram and open the application "Repost for Instagram".
- Now the post is shown at the top of the app. With one click you can open further options.
- Select where and in which color the author should be identified in the repost and click on "Repost".
- Confirm that the Repost app can access your photos.
- Finally, you can choose whether you want to copy the author's heading and post the post directly. To do this, select "Copy Caption & Open Instagram". Alternatively, select "Copy Caption", so you can still share the post later.
