Instagram is ready to let users repost other users’ posts and reels. The Meta-owned firm hasn’t made the repost option publicly available yet, but it intends to start testing it with a small number of users soon.

Social media consultant Matt Navara posted a tweet regarding the same questioning Adam Mosseri, Head of Instagram.
