Reposting on Instagram is a great way to keep your audience engaged. People repost all kinds of content; memes, quotes, short videos, etc. Some of us see stories of our friends and want them to re-share and wonder how to do it.

According to the Instagram help center, you can repost if you are:

  • Already tagged in a story
