Instagram finally adds ‘reposts’ to let people share other accounts’ pictures
Instagram adds feature that users have wanted for years
- Instagram is introducing a new "repost" feature, allowing users to share friends' pictures and reels, a functionality already common on other social media platforms.
- Unlike other platforms, reposted content will not appear on a user's main profile but in a dedicated tab on their profile.
- The platform is also adding a "friends" tab within Reels, which will display content exclusively from friends or posts they have interacted with.
- Users will have control over their privacy settings, including the ability to switch off the display of their likes or comments in the friends' feed.
- These updates are part of Instagram's efforts to make user feeds more relevant and are currently rolling out globally, having started in the US.
