Instagram just rolled a minor update to its iOS and Android app that allows reposting of content you are tagged in.
Last month Instagram introduced resharing within its app, a feature that many compared to Twitter’s retweet at the time.
In the latest app update, users of the photo-sharing social network will be able to easily reshare any Stories that have mentioned them. Until now, whenever a user was mentioned in a Story, a notification within the DM chat would appear in order to notify them.
If somebody then wanted to reshare this it had to be screenshotted and reposted manually. However, moving forward, this will no longer be the case. Instead, along with the usual DM notification will be a new “Add This to Your Story” button that will allow Instagram’s user base to do just that. After this, the process is just like any other reshare.
This means the content can be resized, rotated, and moved around, while stickers, GIFs, or even text can be added on top. As an added bonus for the original sharer, their username will also appear below, allowing others to check out their profile. Nevertheless, Instagram does warn that the feature is only compatible with public profiles.
The changes are already live and available to all public accounts only.
