Repost for Instagram

Click a photo, save to the gallery and then open Facebook. Click on Upload, select the pic to be uploaded and then click upload.

It seems to be a lot lengthy process to share your picture with the social media world. Till the time when are clicking on the final upload button, normally our interest to share our picture to our friends gets over.

Instagram has come with a unique method to share your picture by capturing the moment and then clicking the share button to instantly share your pic. The only problem is Instagram App should get an allowance to your smartphone camera. But for me, it’s not a problem.

In recent years, Instagram has been in the interest of so many people. With 1 billion downloads and a 4.5 rating in Play store, it has been used by Android users in parallel with Facebook and Twitter. The send and receive follow request is a method used in Instagram which is totally unique as compared to Facebook but seems somewhat equal to Twitter. The main motive of Instagram has been just to share photos. And nothing else.

Now suppose you are scrolling your Instagram feed and suddenly you like a pic and want to share that pic through your profile. Now, the first thing you can do is take a screenshot, crop the image and repost it to your Instagram account, since Instagram do not allow Pics to be saved to your device.

But that seems to be somewhat illegal or you are some way or the other disrespecting the art of clicking pictures of the owner of the original pic. So, we should give credit while uploading their pic. This can be done by tagging them by using @username syntax.

I am here to discuss with you an App that helps you to share someone else pic to your Instagram account without taking the screenshot and also giving credit to the owner of the pic. The name of the App is Repost.

It is available in Play store as a free download. After installing the app, just open your Instagram and click on the three dots available on the top right corner of the pic which you want to share, and click on ‘Copy Share URL’. Just then a notification will pop up from Repost saying ‘1 new Share URL added’. Click on the notification.

Then there will be a small rectangular box mention the username of the original pic owner. Just align it to the proper location by clicking different boxes and click on Repost. In your clipboard, a default caption will be saved stating the username of the original pic. Just click on Open Instagram and in the caption, paste from clipboard the default caption from Repost App and share it. Done!

In this way, you have shared someone else pic without taking the screenshot in Instagram and also given the credit. Many celebrities nowadays use this App to share their pic clicked by their Photographers. Through this, we can also have a look at the Instagram profile of that Photographer and also, we could surf his/her other creativity as well.

Repost is a must use app if you are a frequent user of Instagram or you are a Pro-Instagrammer.
