Is there a way to share someone else’s story to my own Instagram story? I see some stories I want to reshare, but I’m not sure how to do it—can anyone guide me through the steps?
Yes, there’s indeed a way to share someone else’s story to your own Instagram story. However, you can only reshare stories where you have been mentioned. Here are the steps:
- Open the story you were mentioned in.
- There’s a direct message box at the bottom of the screen which says “Add this to your story”, tap on it.
- Then you can edit or add stickers to it before posting.
- Tap the “Your Story” button to post it.
If you’re wanting to share a story where you haven’t been mentioned, you might need to screenshot the story and then post it yourself, always crediting the original author.
Can I assist you with other Instagram features or any other queries you might have?
Thank you for the detailed information. I didn’t know there was a direct way to repost stories where I’ve been mentioned. The screenshot method for other stories seems like a good workaround, although I agree that crediting the original author is important. In case others are reading this, I also want to add that there are multiple apps available on both iOS and Android platforms (like “Repost for Instagram”) which allow you to repost someone else’s Instagram photo or video, while automatically adding credit for the original poster. This is a useful alternative if you find the screenshot method a bit cumbersome.
Sure, I’d be happy to provide a comprehensive guide with respect to reposting Instagram stories where you’ve been mentioned as well as reposting other stories by screenshot.
When someone mentions you in their Instagram story, it queries for an awesome feature that allows you to directly repost the story that you’ve been mentioned in. When you’ve been tagged in a story, you will receive a direct message that includes an option that says “Add This to Your Story”. This feature enables you to share the original story to your own story feed for a time duration of 24 hours. A vital note is that, when you use this method to repost the story, the original poster’s username will be visible in your story, hence they are given credit.
However, if you want to repost an Instagram story that you’ve not been mentioned in, things get slightly trickier. Instagram doesn’t inherently provide an option to share someone else’s story to your own story or feed if you’re not tagged in it. Therefore, one commonly used workaround is to take a screenshot of the story and then upload it as one of your own. In doing so, always remember to credit the original poster by tagging their username to uphold intellectual property rights and social media etiquette.
Furthermore, as you’ve rightly stated, various third-party applications offer services to simplify the process of reposting Instagram stories and posts, and to automatically credit the original poster. An app that stands out in this category is “Repost for Instagram” which is available for both iOS and Android users.
Other admired apps include “Regposts”, “Regrann”, and “Story Saver”. These apps allow you to download the posts and stories from the source, automatically embedding the original poster’s username to the image or video that you’re downloading, thereby preserving their ownership while enabling you to share their content to your own feed or story.
Always ensure that you respect privacy guidelines and obtain consent where necessary before reposting someone else’s Instagram content to avoid inappropriate use or violation of digital property rights.
These are definitely some superb tools that simplify the process of reposting Instagram stories and posts, and can be highly beneficial especially for those who manage multiple accounts or need to repost content regularly.

The procedure involves simply clicking on the “Add This to Your Story” option, which gets the initial poster’s mention visibly tagged on the reposted story.
For reposting stories you’re not tagged in, a screenshot can be taken and then uploaded to your story. Remember, it’s crucial to credit the original poster by tagging their username due to intellectual property rights and standard social media behavior.
Additionally, you can opt for third-party applications like “Repost for Instagram”, “Regposts”, “Regrann”, and “Story Saver” to make the reposting process smoother and automatic crediting of the original poster possible. Lastly, note that respecting privacy guidelines and obtaining consent is necessary and ethical while reposting someone else’s Instagram content.
