As of June 2024, Instagram’s native story reposting options remain limited:

1. Reposting When Mentioned:

If someone tags (mentions) you in their story, you’ll get a DM notification (“@user mentioned you in their story”).

Tap “Add to Your Story” in the message to repost it natively.

2. Reposting Without Mention:

There’s still no native option to repost another user’s story if you aren’t mentioned.

Third-party apps or browser tools can technically do this, but most violate Instagram’s TOS or compromise privacy.

Best Practice: Ask the original poster to send you the story or tag you so you can use the native feature.

Tips for “clean reposts”:

Always credit the original creator.

Get permission before resharing.

Avoid third-party downloader apps (privacy risks!).

No new official repost feature is available as of your posting date. Always use Instagram’s built-in tools or share stories with proper consent.
