Instagram Rolls Out Global Resharing of Public Stories Without Tags

The update introduces automatic attribution alongside a privacy toggle for public creators.

Overview

  • Viewers now see an Add to Story button on Stories from public accounts, enabling direct reposts on iOS and Android.
  • Reshared Stories display the original creator’s username and link back to their profile for credit.
  • Public account owners can block reposts by turning off Allow Sharing to Story in privacy settings.
  • Stories from private profiles remain restricted to approved followers and cannot be reshared.
  • Instagram announced the change via a Threads post on December 10, replacing prior workarounds like tagging requirements or screenshots.
