Later, Alessandro Paluzzi, a reverse engineer, shared a snippet of what appears to be a splash screen for the ‘Repost’ feature test, highlighting what’s new about the feature.
Instagram introduces ‘reposts’ as a new way to recommend new posts on your feed to your friends, or you can even put it on stories, as always. But, if you choose to re-share a post or reel on your feed, it will appear in a separate ‘repost’ feed to your followers, and their reply to these re-shared posts will be sent to you as a message. will be sent.
Well, re-sharing a post isn’t entirely new to Instagram. The feature to re-share a post, story or reel has been around for a long time, but one cannot re-share a post on their feed without using a third party app, which involves its own risk. And now that TikTok also has the feature to reshare videos, it’s time for Instagram to introduce this feature.
