How to Repost a Reel on Instagram Feed, Reels, or Story

Reshare someone else's or your own reel to News Feed, Reels, or Story on Instagram.

While you can add someone else’s or your own reel to your Instagram story or send it directly to someone via DM. However, unlike tweets on Twitter, there is no way to repost or reshare Reels on Instagram.

Though reposting your reel video will result in duplicate content unless you later choose to delete the older reel. That said, most people see resharing as a potential way to maximize their content reach.

If one strategically reposts a reel on Instagram then it can help them drive engagement and hence increase their followers.

Can you share or repost on Instagram?

Though not possible officially, I’ve found an easy way to repost Instagram Reels without having to manually download the reel video and then upload it back to Instagram. You can use it to repost someone else’s reel or your reel either to your Instagram News Feed, Reels, or Story.

To repost on Instagram, you need ‘Repost: For Instagram‘, a completely free app that doesn’t require a subscription. Repost features a clean and easy-to-use interface, with simply one non-intrusive ad at the bottom. And the app is available for both iPhone and Android.

With Repost, you can choose to add attribution with a custom position and the reel caption is automatically copied to your clipboard for easy pasting. Though the app adds a short reference ‘Posted @withregram’ in the caption that you can remove manually. Moreover, Repost retains the history of all the content that you repost including posts, reels, stories, and IGTV videos.

NOTE: Before you repost, it is advisable to take prior permission to avoid copyright infringement. Also, make sure to give proper credit to the original creator of the reel.

Now let’s see how you can repost reels on Instagram for iPhone and Android.

How to repost a reel to your Instagram Feed

To share someone else’s Instagram reel to your news feed,

  1. Install “Repost: For Instagram” from the App Store (on iPhone) or Google Play (on Android).
  2. Go to Instagram and find the reel video you want to repost.
  3. Tap the ellipsis button (3-dot icon) at the bottom-right corner and select “Copy link”.

    Doesn’t help because my Instagram doesn’t have that share as option…

    This was so helpful! I kept trying to repost a reel from my videographer’s account and every app I tried would crop the reel to post size instead of keeping it full size. This worked great! I’ve tried a lot of different repost apps and this one was super easy to use. Thanks for the tutorial!

    It doesn’t work. When reposting a reel, I get a message saying: “Impossible to load the video”.
