If you've been tagged in someone's Instagram Story, it's easy to share that Story to your own profile. The key is finding the notification and using the "Add This to Your Story" option.
Steps to Share a Tagged Story on Instagram
Resharing a Story you've been tagged in is a simple process directly integrated into Instagram. Here's a breakdown:
- Find the Notification: Open your Instagram Direct Messages (DM).
- Locate the Conversation: Select the conversation with the user who tagged you in their Story. You will see a notification in this chat thread mentioning you were tagged.
- Tap on the Story: Within the conversation, tap on the Story preview or the notification that appears.
- Tap "Add This to Your Story": Look for the option that says "Add This to Your Story" at the bottom of the screen and tap it. This will open the Story editing interface.
- Make Edits: Now you're in the Story editor. You can make various changes and customizations.
- Choose Audience and Share: Once you're happy with your edits, tap the "Send To" button. Choose whether you want to share your Story with all your followers or only your close friends. Tap "Share" next to your desired audience.
Customizing Your Reshared Story
When you add a tagged Story to your own, you have creative control over its appearance before posting.
- Add Text: Tap the text icon to add your own commentary, captions, or hashtags.
- Change Background Color: Tap the draw tool and select a color to fill the background behind the original Story content.
- Add Stickers, GIFs, Music, etc.: Utilize the sticker icon to include other interactive elements or decorations.
- Draw: Use the drawing tools to add doodles or highlights.
These editing features allow you to personalize the shared content and add your own touch or context.
Who Can See Your Reshared Story?
When you share a tagged Story, you control the audience just like any other Story you post:
- Your Story: This option makes the reshared Story visible to all your followers.
- Close Friends: This option limits visibility to only the users you've added to your designated Close Friends list.
Choose the audience that best suits who you want to see the reshared content.
