How to Share, Save, and Repost Photos on Instagram

Sharing a Photo on Instagram

To share a photo on Instagram, you have a few options:

Upload a Photo: Open Instagram and tap the icon to upload a new photo manually. Share a Photo from Another Account: If you want to share someone else's post, follow these steps: Tap the three dots on the post and select Share. Select whether to share it to your story or send it to someone via direct message. Note: Reposting directly to your feed is not supported without third-party apps.

Saving a Photo on Instagram

Here are a couple of ways to save a photo from Instagram:

Take a Screenshot: You can take a screenshot of images visible on your screen. This works well for photos visible within the app. From Other Users: If the image is from another user and you intend to save it, ask for permission first. Consider using a repost app if needed.

Using Third-Party Apps

If you need to repost photos on your feed, third-party apps can be useful. Some popular options include:

Repost for Instagram Regram

These apps allow you to copy photos and provide credit to the original poster, ensuring that you respect their copyright and privacy.

COPYING LINKS

If your goal is to share a link to a photo, follow these steps:

Tap the three dots on the post and select Copy link. Open an app like Repost or Regram. Publish the image on your Instagram feed using the app.

Tips and Best Practices

Always be mindful of copyright and privacy when sharing photos from other users. It's best to give credit to the original creator and to obtain permission if necessary.

While Instagram doesn’t directly support copying and pasting photos, taking a screenshot is an effective workaround. Remember, reposting directly to your feed without third-party apps is not allowed, and you should always seek permission before saving or sharing images from other users.
