Instagram: How to repost a story
The first method to repost a story on Instagram is the easiest. To repost someone’s photo or video as your Instagram story, follow these steps.

- Open Instagram and select the photo or video you want to repost as your story.
- Tap the three-dots icon > select Copy Link > minimise the app.
- Now, visit ingramer.com.
- Once the site is loaded, hit the hamburger icon and under Tools, select Instagram Downloader.
- Next, you paste the copied link under Download photo or Download video, depending on the type of post you want to share.
- Hit Search and scroll down to download the post.
- Once your stuff is downloaded on your phone, go to Instagram > tap the camera icon > select the downloaded photo or video.
- Now edit the photo according to your liking and once you’re all set, tap Send to and hit Share, right next to Your Story.
