How to make a repost on Instagram
Table of contents:
Sharing is loving. And if we are on Instagram, much better, since we can offer the world everything that interests us, that moves us, the most beautiful images that we find and that are so beautiful that it would be like leaving them there, on our timeline, forgotten. But until Instagram decides to place a button to 'repost' the photos of our followers, we will have to continue using third-party tools and applications. Luckily we always have the Google Play Store at hand when we need it most.
How to make a repost with an Android application
In case it is not clear to you what all this is about, we will explain it to you. Just as on Twitter we have the possibility of sharing a tweet from a follower on our timeline, on Instagram we can do the same with photos of the people we follow. But for this we need applications that we can find in the Play Store, such as 'Repost for Instagram'. This application is free, although with ads, and has a weight of 3.5 MB so that you can download it whenever you want, without worrying about your mobile data. We download and install it.
To share a photo of someone on your wall, the first thing we have to do is open our Instagram account and choose the photo we want to repost on our wall. Next, click on the three-point icon that appears in the account and copy the link and then go back to the Repost for Instagram application.The chosen photo will be there, waiting for us to post it on our Instagram. To do this, we press it again and click where it says 'Repost'. If you look closely, you will see a small banner with the 'repost' sign and the name of the account that owns the photo. We can choose where we want that banner to go in order to credit the photo properly. You can also decide if you want the dark or white banner.
When you are ready, click on Repost and, on the next screen, press where you can read 'Open Instagram', It will open automatically your Instagram app with the photo placed to be uploaded. Be careful, make sure to hit the arrows so that the photo enters in its entirety, because if you upload them cropped, the small identifying banner will not appear and in the end the repost will not have been done correctly.
Another way to repost on Instagram
If you don't want to download any application, you can choose another way to repost, which is none other than taking a screenshot of the photo you want to share. We must remind you very seriously that personal photographs, in addition to having inherent property rights, when shared by third parties, can violate the privacy of other people To be safe If the other person wants us to share their snapshot on our wall, it is best that you ask for permission expressly. This way you will avoid problems and misunderstandings with it.
To take a screenshot you don't need any third-party application, we can do it with a simple combination of keys on the vast majority of Android phones.Simultaneously press the volume button – and the lock button for a few seconds. You will find the capture in the image gallery. Then, upload it as if it were any other Instagram photo and don't forget to tag the author of the photo.
