How to Repost Instagram Post

Repost Instagram Post Using A Screenshot

Taking screenshots of Instagram content that you’d wish to share is one of the most common and effortless ways to repost on Instagram. With the straightforward steps below, it can only take you a few minutes to get it done. Let’s jump to the steps.

• Start by tapping on the Instagram icon on your home screen or app drawer to get it launched. If you cannot find the Instagram app on your phone, you can try using the search function on the home screen to find it. If you’re already signed in, you should get to Instagram Feed by tapping on the app.
• When you get to the Instagram homepage Feed, scroll down the posts to get to the post that you’d wish to repost. Only scroll down if the post you’re looking for doesn’t appear at the top. If the content was posted sometimes earlier and you know the name of the account that posted it, you can search for the account instead. And then tap on the name from the search result to get to the profile.
• When you get to the post, adjust it so that it appears balanced on your screen. This allows you to take a screenshot capturing all the details of the post.

• Take a screenshot. The method that you’ll use to take a screenshot will depend on the type of smartphone that you’re using.
• On Android: Press and hold on the power and volume button at once for a second. If this fails to work on your smartphone, you can swipe down from the top of the screen and tap on the “Screenshot” icon from the options.
• On iPhone & iPad: Press and hold on the single button on the right side of the iPhone and the Home button at once for iPhone 8 and the earlier versions. Or Press and hold on the only button on the right side of the iPhone and the volume-up button simultaneously until a flash appears on the screen.
• Having done that, tap on this + icon located on the lower center of the screen. This opens a new screen for creating a new Instagram post.

• Next, tap on the “Gallery” or “Library” tab located on the lower-left corner of the screen. Depending on the type of smartphone you’re using, you can find one of the two options. By doing so, the stored photos will appear on the screen.
• Select your screenshot by tapping on it. It’s marked with a bit whitish shade. Alternatively, you can tap on the “Gallery” drop-down and select “Screenshots” from the list of options displayed.
• Crop the screenshot. To do that, you can use two fingers to expand it or reduce the size of the screenshot. When impressed with the final look of your screenshot, tap on the “Next” button located on the top-right corner of the screen.
• After that, add filters to your newly crafted image. To do that, tap on the “Filter” button on the bottom-left of the screen. If you’re not interested in using the filter, tap on the “Next” button located on the upper right corner of the screen.

• When done with that, it’s now time to add a caption to your post. To do that, tap in the “Write a caption…” box located on the upper part of the screen. In your caption, remember to mention the creator of the content and mention that you’re reposting their work. This can save you from the imminent copyright infringement law. With that done, you’re just a click away from getting your post online.
• Lastly, tap on the “Share” button on the upper right corner to get the content you’ve created posted to Feed. And that’s it. Even though the process seems lengthy, it’s pretty easy to follow after the first trial.

Note: The above method only works when you’re reposting a photo or still image. If you’d wish to repost a video, you can use the next options discussed in this article.
