How to repost reels on Instagram story
Though you don't need to be tagged to repost a reel on your Instagram story, the steps below would work for both scenarios:
- Tap the sharing icon below the reel, which looks like a paper airplane.
- Choose ‘Your story’.
- Jazz it up with stickers or text, then share it away!
Alternative ways of reposting reels: Going manual
- Some users allow viewers to download the reels they posted. If that's the case, you can tap on the sharing icon and select "download" from there to download the reel to your device. Then you can make edits on it and share it back, which is more or less a manual way of reposting reels on Instagram.
- You can also use a social media video downloader, like Circleboom's. Simply copy and paste the link of that reel to download it, and then you can post it back on your profile.

- What if you're dealing with a private profile? Then you can always use screen recording tools. Not my personal advice though, as neither the content quality nor the ethics and legal sides would take you to nice places.
