Instagram is now copying Twitter with their latest Repost Feature

Instagram is now copying Twitter with their latest Repost Feature

Reposts, which have never been featured in the main feed area of the programme but are a crucial component of Facebook and Twitter, may soon be tested by Instagram. Social media expert Matt Navarra saw it on Twitter CEO Adam Mosseri’s profile initially, and Instagram later confirmed it. In order for people to share content that connects with them and to ensure that the original producers are given credit for their work, we are investigating the possibility of resharing posts in Feed. We hope to test this soon with a limited group of users.

The capabilities are described on a new screen as a method to share a post with friends, start dialogues, and allow them to leave messages in response to your repost. In addition to posts, reels, and tagged photographs, feed reposts are “presented in a separate tab in your profile” and are accessible to followers. Reposting has been possible in Stories since 2018, but in feeds, it has only been possible with third-party apps (clues about the feature were first spotted back in May by researcher Alessandro Paluzzi). Following experiments at the beginning of 2022, Instagram’s main rival TikTok recently added a repost option for videos. Reposted TikTok videos do not show up in your own profile; instead, they only display in the ‘For You’ feeds of your friends.

To better compete with TikTok, Instagram recently made a number of improvements. It recently increased the amount of recommended content you see and introduced a full-screen stream akin to TikTok. However, after complaints (including some from famous people), it backtracked and announced that it will gradually stop using full-screen mode and reduce the number of suggested postings. Some social media professionals are concerned that by promoting information from strangers, reposts could bring about similar problems. According to Social Media Today’s Andrew Hutchinson, “reposting is another explicit step towards deconstructing the IG that you know, in favour of one that Instagram feels will be a better experience for you.” Beyond the regular highlight reels of viral video, BeReal’s rise demonstrates that there is a genuine need for more meaningful connection and community participation.
