Stories are particularly popular on Instagram. Often, you want to share a post you liked on your own page. To repost a story on Instagram, you need to use special programs for mobile applications. It is currently impossible to do this directly on the network.
How to copy a photo or story from another account to your own story
You can add interesting content to your profile in several ways. This is available on the most common operating systems: Android and iOS. To upload a photo, you need to find the desired image or video in another user’s feed. A special icon in the form of a paper airplane will appear at the bottom. If the page is open, simply click on it and select “post to story” in the pop-up window. After that, the publication will appear in your account.
When you need to repost to your story, make sure that this function is available. The stories settings should include an option allowing you to share posts with other people.
It is important to know that this function is only available if the application has been updated. If your mobile device does not support the latest updates, you will need to find other ways to solve the issue.
How to repost someone else’s story
To add someone else’s stories to your own, you will need special programs that are available for download.
However, to share someone else’s stories with your followers, you do not need any additional software. Everything can be done directly in the app. To do this, find a post you like. At the bottom right corner, a special icon in the form of a paper airplane will appear. When you click on it, a pop-up window will appear, displaying a list of people to whom you can send the post. Sometimes it is allowed to post to stories, but it depends on whether the account is open for this.
On mobile devices with Android OS and on iPhones, some features may differ due to the advanced capabilities of iOS. Therefore, iPhone owners experience less discomfort when using mobile services.
The official way
To legally repost someone else’s story on Instagram to your account, the user who posted the story on their page must tag a friend. In this case, the story may appear in the user’s account without any extra manipulations.
Using third-party applications
Sometimes it’s not possible to share other people’s stories directly. In this case, third-party services can help.
Especially popular for Android are:
- Story Saver for Instagram – Story Assistant;
- Utility StorySave;
- Software – StoryReposter.
If the mobile device supports iOS software, then other programs will be suitable:
- RepostStory for. Saves incognito when working with other pages.
- Repost and Save for Insta. There is an opportunity to save stories.
- InstantRepost. The software allows you to post publications sent to direct messages in the feed.
Many of the listed options have paid content embedded. Therefore, the range of free features is severely limited.
To work with the programs, registration through an account will be required. After that, the content will be saved, and the post that you liked can be downloaded and shared as a story with others. It is essential to indicate the username from the profile whose story it was. Otherwise, this will be considered plagiarism, and the service has the right to delete it.
The programs allow the use of several social networks. The most common are Instagram and Facebook.
Repost using a screenshot
It is possible to post someone else’s post on your personal page using a screenshot. To do this, you need to copy the information and take a screen shot. After that, upload the file to your own stories. It will look like a repost, but in any case, it is worth mentioning the owner of the stories. It will be enough to indicate the username from the profile. In addition, it is highly desirable to obtain permission from the author himself, as he will receive an immediate notification that the story has been posted.
How to find out who made a repost?
If a user notices their publication on another page, they can check who shared their information in their personal application. To post someone else’s stories in their feed, a special permission from the author is required. The author opens up the possibility of reposting stories for a day and marks the people to whom this is granted. If a subscriber uses this accessibility, the author will receive a notification of the publication on another page, allowing them to control the transitions. In addition, when viewing the published stories, the user can see all the statistics on views and reposts, including the number and profiles.
How to preserve someone else’s history
The question arises whether another person can repost a story. This is possible if the author has opened access for users. In this case, sharing information can be done through the mobile application, but this happens very rarely. Therefore, in a specific situation, we recommend using special programs. It is important to remember that tagging the author by placing their username in the publication is a mandatory requirement. Otherwise, Instagram has the right to ban it.
Stories on Instagram have become the most popular among users of the social network. In addition, the latest updates allow reposting stories to personal Instagram. To do this, it is necessary to follow the mandatory rules. Special additional programs are created and implemented for different operating systems.
