How to share an ig story to your story

Q: Can you share someone elses Instagram story?

You can share another persons story to your own story if theyve tagged you in it and their account is public. If their account is private, the story will not be able to be viewed by anyone who doesnt follow the original poster. If you havent been tagged in someones story, you wont be able to share it to your own.

“I can’t share stories.” It’s one of the most tragic phrases of this year, and it stalks groups of friends from all over the world. But don’t worry, because with this post we are going to solve it ????

Can you share someone else's Instagram story?

To share a story in which you have been mentioned, you must follow this process.

1 – In a story, use the mention sticker or directly type “@tunombre”. Several suggestions will appear, in which you will have to choose the profile you want.

2 – Publish it in “Your story”.

3 – In the direct messages of the mentioned person will notify them that they have been mentioned.

4 – In that KO you will have the option to share in your story!

Just like that? Not at all, because it does not always appear in your messages, or it is not possible to share it. Let’s look at other solutions.

The most typical reason is that the person who publishes the original story has not allowed their followers to share.

To mark it, go to your profile -> Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Story Controls -> Shared Content.

There you have several options:

Hide your stories to contacts

Choose your list of best friends to show stories only to them. Choose who can respond to your stories (for top influencers) , Save the publications in the archive or gallery.

Shared content.

In the latter is where you have to check the box to make it blue. In other words, your contacts can share your stories if you mention them. Other reasons why you can’t share Instagram stories

Private account in Instagram

Even if they have allowed sharing in their settings, it is not possible to share user stories with private accounts.

You are not mutual followers in Instagram

The mention may have reached the inbox, but it is in the message request panel.

Instagram’s history has expired

It is also possible that the story cannot be shared… because 24 hours have passed and it has disappeared.

You were wrong to mention the user of Instagram

Make sure that everything is well written and that you have chosen the right profile while making the mention. It is possible that if you did not have an internet connection at the time of publication, the profiles were not loaded correctly.

The Instagram application is not up to date

It is not a common cause, but it has happened that the application was not updated, or that even the smartphone model does not allow it.

Despite following these steps, we have asked several influencers and some of them are still unable to share stories in which they have been mentioned, while others mentioned in that same publication have.

It’s something that happens sometimes, and we don’t find the cause despite all the tests we’ve done. If you want to know more about social media visit our instagram influencers page.

We hope that Instagram will solve it very soon!

Reshare someone else's post or story to your own story

Updated on September 26, 2022

What to Know

Tap the paper airplane below the post, then select Add post to your story > Your Story.
Tagged in someone else's story? You'll get a DM. Tap the notification, then Add This to Your Story > Your Story.
For either of these to work, the other account must be public with post sharing or story sharing enabled.

This article explains how to share others' posts to your Instagram story, how to repost someone else's story to your story, how to use third-party apps to repost a photo or video and a story-sharing workaround if you're not tagged.

How to Repost an Instagram Post to a Story

Most Instagram posts made by public accounts can be shared as part of your Instagram story for your followers to see. This is the only official way to share a post made by other people on Instagram, and it's popular due to its simplicity and how it links back to the original creator.

Open the Instagram app on your iOS or Android device and locate the Instagram post you want to share.
Tap the paper airplane icon > Add post to your story.
If you don't see Add post to your story, either the account isn't public or they've disabled post resharing.
The post now appears embedded in a new Instagram story. You can now add the usual gifs, text, and music.
Tap Your Story to publish as a new Instagram story.

While it's possible to share some Instagram stories made by others to your followers, it must meet some requirements:

The account must be public. You can't share a story from a private Instagram account.
It must have Instagram story sharing enabled.
You need to be tagged in the story.

When you're tagged in an Instagram story, you'll receive a DM via Instagram Direct notifying you. If the account tagging you is public and allows sharing of their content, you should see a link in the message; to repost this story within a new story on your account, tap Add This to Your Story, and then proceed with the instructions from above.

You don’t need to follow the account to repost one of their Instagram stories.

How to Repost an Instagram Story if You’re Not Tagged

While there are numerous third-party apps that let you repost someone else’s Instagram posts, there aren’t any that support the reposting of Instagram stories. However, one way to get around this restriction is to use your device’s screenshot or screen recording features.

For example, you can take a screenshot of someone else’s Instagram story while you’re watching it, and then upload that screenshot to a new story. Likewise, you can use screen recording to record an Instagram story video, then repost that video in your own story.

When recording someone else’s Instagram story via a screen recording, the recorded video also contains UI elements from the Instagram app. You can remove these by using two fingers to move and resize the video while composing your new story.

How to Repost a Video or Photo Post on Instagram

There's no built-in way to repost photos or repost videos on Instagram. To get around this restriction, you need to download a third-party app. Fortunately, there are a large number of such apps for both iOS and Android, and most of them are free to download and use.

Download Repost for Instagram from Google Play if you have an Android device, or get Repost for Instagram from the App Store if you have an iOS device. Both apps are free and don’t require you to log in with your Instagram or Facebook account information.

The following instructions are for the Regrammer iOS app, but each step is practically identical to how you would use the Repost for Instagram app on Android.

Open the Regrammer app on your iOS device.
A message asks you to give the app permission to access your device’s photos. Tap OK.
The app asks you if you want to receive notifications. This is optional. Tap either Don’t Allow or Allow.
You're shown a welcome screen with instructions. Tap Skip.
Open the Instagram app on the same device and find the post you want to repost.
Tap the ellipsis in the top-right corner of the Instagram post.
Tap Copy Link. The link to this post is copied to your device’s clipboard.
Open Regrammer. The copied link should automatically appear in the search field within the app. If it doesn't, tap the field, perform a long press, and tap Paste.
Tap Preview.
A short video ad may play. Ignore this and wait for your post to load.
Your repost won’t show the name of the original Instagram account from where you got the video or photo by default. To add this account name, tap any of the four square icons.
Tap Dark to place a black outline around the original poster’s name.
When you’re ready, tap the blue share icon.
Tap Repost on Instagram.
The app asks for permission to switch to the Instagram app. Tap Open.
Tap Feed > Next.
Edit the photo or video as you usually would by adding a filter and changing its settings.
Because you’re reposting someone else’s content, it’s usually best not to change the way it looks too much. This is especially true when it comes to artwork or professional photography.
Tap Next.
Add the post description, hashtags, people tags, and location data as you would when making a regular Instagram post.
Instagram allows up to 30 hashtags in a post description. They can help people discover your post, so it’s a good idea to use at least a few.
When you’re ready, tap Share to publish your post. It should now appear in your main Instagram account feed.
