Instagram Tests New Feed Repost Feature

The tool will let users reshare posts as new feed entries to ensure creators receive proper credit.

Overview

  • Instagram confirmed in mid-June that the test enables users to repost content directly to their main feed as standalone posts.
  • Users can reshare both their own uploads and posts from other accounts in their feeds.
  • The company previously tested a repost button in 2017 and again in 2022.
  • The feature aims to replace third-party repost apps and improve attribution for original creators behind popular memes and photos.
  • No timeline has been announced for a broader rollout, leaving it unclear when all users will gain access.
