Different Ways To Repost Multiple Photos On Instagram
There are a million reasons why you might want to repost content. It might be user-generated content helping your brand to grow and increase your Instagram engagement, or it could be a lovely photo with your family and friends that you want to repost.
There are three ways to repost content on Instagram:
- Sharing the post on your story
- Taking screenshot
- Using Third-party apps
1. Sharing the Post on Your Story
Instagram allows users to repost desired posts in their stories if the owner’s account is public and they have enabled resharing. To do this, simply follow the three easy steps below:
- Find the post you want to re-post on your story. Make sure the owner’s page is public.
- Click on the DM icon below the post.
Tap on ‘Share Post on Your Story.’ After editing it as desired, you can repost it on your story.
The problem with this way of sharing is that you can’t repost multiple photos on your Instagram. If the intended post is an album you can just share one of its slides. So it’s not efficient for sharing multiple photos.
Also in this way, your followers have to tap on the post you shared then they will be redirected to the original post on the owner’s page, not yours.
How to Share Multiple Posts on Instagram Story?
You can’t add multiple posts to an Instagram story at once. You need to add them one by one as explained above. However, you can add multiple photos to your Instagram story. Here’s how:
- Open your Instagram stories.
- Tap on ‘Select,’
- Now, choose the pictures you want to add to your stories. You can hold and drag the pictures to reorder them.
- Edit each picture as you want and post your story.
2. Taking a Screenshot
Taking a screenshot is another way that you can even use on private accounts to share their content, but you have to take the owner’s permission. Although it’s easy, we don’t recommend it because it takes time and the owner may not permit you to repost it. But if you get permission you can edit the photos and easily repost them like any other photo on your account.

3. Using Third-party Apps to Repost Multiple Photos on Instagram
Most Instagram issues can be solved by using third-party apps. There are thousands of apps to help you repost content on your Instagram. Here we will introduce some of them.

You can share content directly from the Instagram app by selecting ‘Post,’ tapping the three dots, choosing ‘Share to,’ and then selecting ‘Repost’.
Regrann
Regrann is a mobile application that lets you repost Instagram posts. It connects to your Instagram account from your phone, so you don’t need to sign up for a new account. It just lets you repost pictures by copying URLs. The post would appear on the app automatically. After that, Regrann offers you the options to save, share, post later, or post the photo to your Instagram stories and feed. But if you want to repost multiple photos or albums, they will be downloaded in a folder, then you can save them one by one and repost them.
InstaRepost
This is one of the oldest apps to repost on Instagram and it is only available for android phones. You just have to copy the picture’s URL and it would appear in the app automatically. It has an editing feature where you can edit the original post and add text, emojis, etc to it. The downside of this application is that you can’t download photo albums.
