You can also share videos, but these appear as still images. Private posts cannot be shared to your story &#8211; they can only be seen by followers of the account. To share an Instagram post to your story as a sticker, you must swipe over the image and then click the &#8220;Share&#8221; button. Then choose the sticker that you want to share. Unlike stickers, you can&#8217;t add several posts at once.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reposting_your_own_feed_posts_to_your_story\"><\/span>Reposting your own feed posts to your story<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Reposting your own feed posts to your stories can be a simple way to share content on Instagram. The process is easy and you can do it without downloading an additional app. All you need to do is find a post in your feed, tap the paper airplane icon, then select &#8216;Add to Story&#8217;. Once you&#8217;ve done that, you can add GIFs, stickers, and text, and choose where to repost it.<\/p>\n<p>You can also repost other people&#8217;s content on Instagram, but you need to get the permission of the original poster first. You can ask for permission by commenting on the post or sending a direct message to the person who posted the content. Be sure to mention the person you repost the content from so that the original poster knows that it is being reposted. It&#8217;s a good idea to give them attribution, too, as they&#8217;ll appreciate your work!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Turning_off_the_ability_to_re-share_your_posts\"><\/span>Turning off the ability to re-share your posts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You may not want your friends to see other people&#8217;s Instagram posts, so you can turn this feature off. You can do so by going into your settings on Instagram and clicking the &#8220;Privacy&#8221; tab. Then, you can go to your Stories section to turn off the feature. Then, you can follow the steps below to make sure that nobody re-shares your posts on your Story.<\/p>\n<p>First, you must visit your profile settings. If you are using the mobile app, open the &#8220;Settings&#8221; menu in your profile and select &#8220;Help.&#8221; Click on the &#8220;Report a Problem&#8221; link at the bottom of the page. Then, click on &#8220;Support Requests&#8221; under the Privacy and Security section. From there, select &#8220;Turn off the ability to re-share your Instagram posts to your story&#8221;.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Editing_a_re-shared_post\"><\/span>Editing a re-shared post<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve had a post re-shared on your Instagram profile, you may be wondering if it&#8217;s possible to edit it. There are many pros and cons to editing an Instagram photo, so it&#8217;s important to choose your edits wisely. If the photo has received a lot of attention, re-editing it may be unnecessary. If the post was popular and has been re-shared a lot, you&#8217;ll want to avoid it if you can.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, you can also change the background color or add more context to the re-shared post. Usually, you don&#8217;t get notified when your post has been re-shared, so you have to do it yourself. Fortunately, there&#8217;s a simple way to edit a re-shared post on Instagram. Just head over to your profile and select Edit Post and then tap on &#8216;Edit&#8217; in the upper right corner of the screen.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Limiting_who_sees_your_story\"><\/span>Limiting who sees your story<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Unlike posts on your account, you can limit who sees an Instagram post on your story. In addition to adding a green &#8216;friends only&#8217; badge, you can also choose to publish your stories only for specific groups of people. You can also create multiple lists and choose from a pre-made one. The Close Friends list will only be visible to people who have been added to the user&#8217;s &#8216;friends&#8217; list.<\/p>\n<p>Another way to limit who sees your stories is to turn off the &#8220;allow sharing&#8221; feature. This will prevent others from accessing your story unless they&#8217;ve also unfollowed you. It&#8217;s a good idea to do this only if you don&#8217;t want to share anything private with the people who don&#8217;t follow you on Instagram. The best way to limit who sees your stories is to set a timer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Share an Instagram Post to Your Story When sharing your Instagram posts to your story, make sure you&#8217;re selecting the correct image so that you can ensure that your followers see the right version.
