We’ve all come across funny or inspirational photos or videos on Instagram before, and if you’d like to share that on your own profile, there are a couple of different ways you can go about it and here they are.
Note that if the photo or video you’re sharing is from a private account, then you might not be able to repost it. Also in terms of etiquette, it’s always nice to try and get permission from the creator of the content you’re reposting and make sure that you attribute them correctly.
If you’d rather not have the photo appear and clutter up your Instagram profile (for example if you’re using your profile as a portfolio) and just want a temporary way to share, Stories are the answer.
Unlike sharing to Stories, sharing it to your profile is permanent and is the equivalent of you uploading a photo directly to your Instagram account, at least until you choose to delete it. Unfortunately, Instagram does not have an official method of “regramming” which means you will need to rely on third-party apps such as Repost.
