Instagram starts testing new ‘reposts’ feature

Instagram is testing a new feature that mimics other social networks. According to The Verge, TechCrunch has reported that Instagram confirmed tests of a 'reposts' feature, which will bring someone else's content onto your own timeline. This feature will be similar to Twitter's retweets or the kind of reshares that are common on Tumblr and Facebook and are also being tested on TikTok. TechCrunch has stated that this 'repost' feature was spotted on Wednesday by Matt Navarra, a social media consultant who posted images on a Twitter thread. Apart from reposts within your own feed, Instagram has modified its cross-platform sharing options.
