Can You Repost A Story On Instagram?

Hey! Yeah, as far as I know, it’s still mostly when someone tags you. You get that little “Add this to your story” button in your DMs, which makes it super easy.

But if you’re not tagged, it’s a different story (lol get it?). I usually just screenshot it and post that, but it never looks that great and you have to crop it and everything. Also, doesn’t Instagram notify people when you screenshot their stories now? I can never keep track of that.

A friend of mine told me the best way to do it is to just download their story first. They use a site called DFViewer to do it. You can just look up any public profile and save their stories or even photos and videos directly to your phone. Then you can upload it to your own story and it looks perfect. It’s way cleaner than a screenshot! Apparently, it’s also the best tool for viewing private Instagram profiles, which is kinda wild.

Hope that helps
