How to Repost Photos on Instagram

Repost the screenshot

Open Instagram. It's the app with the pink, purple, and yellow camera icon, usually found on the home screen, in the app drawer (on Android), or by the search function.

This method only works when you want to repost still images. If you want to repost a video, you need to see the "Repost a photo or video with Regrammer" method for your phone or tablet.

Find the photo you want to repost. Scroll through your feed to see the latest posts, or tap the magnifying glass icon to find a specific user.

Take screenshots. Drag to (or tap) the post so the photo you want to share appears on the screen, and take a screenshot using the button combination specified by your phone or tablet.

On iPhone/iPad: Press and hold the button on the right side of the phone or tablet, then press the volume up button (for iPhone X series) or the Home button (for iPhone 8 series and older models). Remove your fingers when you see the screen flicker.

On Android: Press and hold the power button and select Screenshot when you see this option. If this doesn't work, you can press and hold the power button and volume down button (or volume up button on some phones/tablets) at the same time.

Tap the + button in the bottom center of the Instagram screen to create a new post.

Tap the Library option in the bottom left corner of the screen.

Tap on the screenshot. You will see a preview image displayed at the top of the screen.

Crop the screenshot and select Next . To crop a screenshot, widen the distance between two fingers placed on the screen to enlarge the image. When you complete the operation, select Next in the upper right corner of the screen.

Select a color filter and tap Next . Color filters are usually displayed below the screen. If you don't want to use the color filter, you can tap Next in the top right corner of the screen.

Enter a caption in the "Write a caption." box near the top of the screen.

This is a good place to tag the author of the original post and note that you're just reposting their post.
