Repost on Instagram: If you are a user of Instagram then you must know that re-sharing any content in Instagram is called Instagram reposting or regramming.
Instagram has become a huge hub for photos, videos and many more visual contents. Users keep sharing different types of content on this social media platform.
Whenever you go through your feed on Instagram, sometimes you like some photos or videos and you want to share them in your feed too.
If you are promoting a brand on Instagram, then you may find some User Generated Content good for your brand and want to repost it.
Or it may also be that you want to repost your own post on your feed.
But there is no such feature in Instagram right now that allows you to repost any content in your feed in one click.
In this article, we will tell you some such ways by which you can repost your or others’ content in your feed.

How to Repost on Instagram?
It is important to take some precautions before reposting User Generated Content to your Instagram account.
Because if you repost your content then there is no problem but if you repost someone else’s content then you should repost thoughtfully.
Like we have already mentioned that there is no such feature in Instagram that you can repost in one click.
There are two ways to repost in Instagram – one manual and the other with the help of third party apps.
So first of all let’s talk about manual method.
Repost on Instagram in a manual way-
Screenshot is the easiest way to do Instagram Reposting manually. In this, you will have to follow some manual steps.
Step-1 – Find the content you want to repost.
Step-2– Now adjust it with the screen of the phone and take a screenshot.
Step-3– Now crop the portion of the screenshot you want to repost and save it in your phone’s memory.
Step-4– Now you can easily repost the saved screenshot to your Instagram feed just like you post other photos.
But this method also has a disadvantage. If the resolution of the screen of your phone is not good then the quality of the screenshot taken will be spoiled.
Therefore, use this method only if you have a good screen resolution of your phone and you do not want to use any third party app.
Once again we want to reiterate that if you are reposting any other user’s content, then definitely take permission from that person and do not forget to give credit. If there is any kind of watermark in the content, then do not try to remove it.
Repost on Instagram with the help of Apps

If you unarchive a post on Instagram does it repost?
If you want to archive an Instagram post for any reason, you can. This does not delete your post, but temporarily goes to an archive folder.
Now you have unarchived a post and you are wondering whether this post will be reposted again.
So, if you unarchive a post on Instagram, it is reposted to its original position on your profile in the same place it was first posted. That is, when you unarchive that post, it will not appear again in the feed. Also, the date of this unarchived post will be same on which it was posted for the first time. This is because the post is reposted to the same place on your profile where it was first posted.
This post you unarchive won’t show up as a new post on other people’s feeds. Instagram does not notify your followers if you unarchive a post.
But, whenever they come to know that you have unarchived a post, they can engage with that post again as before. They can comment and like that post. You can also edit the caption and location of that post.
Conclusion:
As you have seen, Instagram Reposting is not a very difficult task and it is made very easy by third party apps.
All you have to do is find User Generated Content on Instagram according to your brand and you can easily do further work by following the steps mentioned above.
But we would like to say once more that before reposting any User Generated Content, keep some things in mind. Like-
i) Before reposting, definitely take permission from the content creator.
ii) Even if you want to edit something in that post, do it only after taking permission from the content creator.
iii) Do not forget to give credit to that user while reposting.
