Instagram is about to start testing a feature that will let users share other people’s content by reposting it, similar to other social media apps.
Unlike other social media apps, Instagram has never offered a simple way to share other people’s content by reposting it.
That could soon change, however, as Instagram is about to start testing such a feature with a small group of users, according to TechCrunch.
Instagram’s repost feature was thrust into the spotlight on Thursday by social media consultant Matt Navarra and later confirmed by Meta, Instagram’s parent company.
“We’re exploring the ability to reshare posts in Feed — similar to how you can reshare in Stories — so people can share what resonates with them, and so original creators are credited for their work,” a Meta spokesperson told TechCrunch.
