You can add a story you're tagged in to your own Instagram story using a simple process within the app.
Here's a step-by-step guide:
-
Check Your Direct Messages: Open the Instagram app and tap the message icon (usually in the top right corner). You'll find a message from the person who tagged you in their story.
-
Open the Tagged Story: Select the conversation with the person who tagged you. You should see their story preview within the chat. Tap on the story preview.
-
Add to Your Story: When viewing the story you were tagged in, look for the "Add this to your story" option. Tap this.
-
Customize Your Story: This will bring you to the Instagram Story editor. Here, you can customize the story before posting. This includes:
- Adding text
- Adding stickers
- Changing the background color
- Moving or resizing the original story element
-
Post Your Story: Once you're happy with how it looks, tap the "Your Story" button (or "Close Friends," if you prefer) to share it with your followers.
Important Considerations:
- Tagging is Necessary: You can only add a story to your own if you've been tagged in the original story.
- Privacy Settings: If the person who posted the original story has a private account, you may not be able to share it, depending on their settings.
- Story Duration: The story will only be available to add to your own for 24 hours, just like regular Instagram stories.
- Missing Option: If you don’t see the "Add this to your story" option, it’s possible the account that tagged you has disabled resharing.
By following these steps, you can easily share stories you are tagged in with your own followers, adding your own unique flair to the content.
