Repost on Instagram – First of all, before posting again. With other social networks, reposting is an innate feature built into the product experience and expectations. On Instagram, since it’s not a native part of the app, there needs to be an extra step:
Before republishing, it’s best to ask the author of the original poster for permission to republish your work.
You can do this in several ways:
- Send a straight message to the original poster on Instagram
- Comment on your photo to start the conversation.
- Please login via email to clarify the details and get explicit permission.
Reposting has been a strategy on Instagram for quite some time, long before tools like Buffer for Instagram came along. Some third-party apps allowed particular forwarding features, often including watermarks or @-mention credits on the forwarded photo. However, the easiest way was to use a screenshot, a process that can still be replicated today.
