It's a great place for conversational videos, photos that don't fit into the main feed, and for making reposts from other users. But many novice users have a question: how do I share someone else's story on Instagram? Let's look at a few options for this process.

How to share someone else's story on Instagram

1. If you've been tagged in a video When you're tagged in a story, you'll receive an Instagram Direct notification asking you to add the story to yourself. To share it, simply click on the “Share this in my story?” button and customize the privacy, stickers, and other settings of your storyz.
2. If you're not tagged but want to share the video In that case, open the desired story on the page of the user who posted it. Click on the “airplane” (Direct) icon at the bottom of the screen and send the story to your friends. The story won't show up in your feed, but your friends will be able to see it in their Direct.
3. How to share another account's post To add someone else's post to your story, open that post and click on the “airplane” icon. Select the “Add the post to your story” option and it will automatically appear in your Stories.
4. If you've been tagged on a publication you want to share In this case, you will also receive a Direct notification and you will be able to click on it and select “Share in your story”.
5. What to do if reposting is prohibited by account settings If the settings of the account whose stories or posts you want to repost prohibit reposts, you won't be able to add their content to your story. However, you can ask the user for permission to share their stories, and upon their approval, repost the material. Another option is to take a screenshot and publish it as your storyz. This will work if there is no video in the story, but only photos. For videos, this is an ineffective way unless you want to share a single shot.
6. How to disallow reposts of your posts To close access to reposts of your stories and publications, change your profile settings to “Closed”. To do this, go to Settings - Account - Privacy and turn on “Closed Profile”.
7. Don't forget about copyright When you repost someone else's content, don't forget to make sure to include a link to the author to avoid copyright infringement. Now, by following these simple steps, you'll be able to share other people's stories on Instagram without breaking the rules and respecting the work of other users.
