How to Repost Photos on Instagram

This article shows you how to share other people's photos or videos on your Instagram page. If you want to share still images, you can do so quickly by taking and posting a screenshot. If you want to repost a video, you'll need to use a third-party app like Regrammer. Because reposting without permission violates Instagram's Terms of Use, you should avoid reposting content until you have received permission from the author of the post.
