Instagram tests the possibility for users to post messages again, the company confirmed to Techcrunch on Monday. The move is not as a surprise, because the social network was seen that the position already developed in 2022.
Some users have reported to see the position on their accounts, with one Note that users Will be able to re -post their own content in addition to the messages from other users.
Of course, not everyone will be on board if Instagram decides to officially roll out the change, especially since it would add another content format to a platform that is already overcrowded with messages, stories, roles, nuts, DMS, advertisements and more.
On the other hand, some people will welcome the change because they can share and strengthen interesting content, as they already do on other platforms.
Although you can currently share someone’s message in your story, with this upcoming repost functionality you can use the post in Instagram’s feed again. Moreover, some people currently use temporary solutions and third-party apps to re-post the content, so an official reshare function would be the need to find alternatives.
With regard to the makers, the repost functionality can be a way for them to stimulate their reach and discovery. In addition, Instagram is flooded with re -posted memes and photos that often do not credit original posters, so the addition of a repost function can ensure that makers receive credit when their content is widely shared.
It is logical for Instagram to introduce the possibility to post again, especially since the format has been adopted by other social networks such as threads and Tiktok. It is worth noting that Reposts were popularized in 2009 by the introduction of the “Retweet” function by Twitter.
As with any other test function, it is unknown when or or or or Instagram intends to release his repost functionality to all users.
