Instagram is running another test of a repost feature

Instagram is testing a new republication feature. Techcrunch have reported that the social media network is currently carrying out a test that gives users the possibility of republishing content. The current functionality test focuses on compliance with a message, the content that appears in the flow of a user, as a new message. The platform already offers the possibility of sharing a message on someone’s story, but this post-post republishing would be a new addition to the available interactions.

Instagram has made a very similar test of a very similar functionality and also tested a republished button . Since the company has made several idea of ​​an idea which is already well established on other social networks, it seems surprising that the platform reverses this idea once again. Between articles, stories, rolls and DMS, Instagram already has a lot of unique types of content. On the one hand, there are many ways to share and redo the content, either yours or another account in the flow. On the other hand, however, having different rules on which material can be shared in format can put users in confused situations.

We contacted Instagram to comment on this test and update if we hear the company.
