Instagram allows users to reshare posts they've been tagged in to their own Story. When someone else uses the @mention feature to tag you in their Instagram Story, you'll receive a push notification and a direct message that will disappear after 24 hours. 

If you've been mentioned in an Instagram Story and want to repost it, you can do so by tapping the notification in your inbox. You'll even have the chance to add text, GIFs, and stickers.

Once republished, the original poster's username will be visible on your Story and will link directly to their profile. 

Reposting an Instagram Story you've been tagged in can be done on both the iOS and Android apps, but is only available to those with public profiles. Here's how to repost an Instagram story you've been tagged in.

How to repost an Instagram story

If you tap the push notification that occurs when someone tags you in a story, you can skip ahead to step three. 

1. Open Instagram and tap the messages icon.
