Instagram may soon roll out this 'much-needed' feature

Facebook-owned Instagram has been undergoing a lot of changes since the past couple of months with the photo-sharing app introducing itsy bitsy features to enhance the experience of its billions of users.

But now, according to a report by The Verge, Instagram is working on a new feature that "company executives have long resisted for fear it would corrupt the personal nature of the app."

According to the report, Instagram is working on introducing a way to re-share posts from other accounts to your own feed. Currently, in order to that, users have to download third-party apps. Allegedly being called “seamless sharing,” the feature is said to available in the app in the menu option that appears in the top-right corner of every post in the feed. Users can use this by tapping on “share to feed.” Once re-shared, the posts will appear in the feed below the username and photo of the user who shared it.

Screenshots obtained by The Verge revealed this for a business accounts offering merchandise for sale. "It seems possible that Instagram might limit the ability to re-share posts to businesses, which would be less likely to post misinformation and other unwanted content into the feed," said The Verge.

So far, Instagram has not said anything on the presence of the re-sharing feature for its app.

Instagram Stories can be re-shared
Back in June, Instagram rolled out the feature by which users could re-share other users' Stories that mentions them. This feature could be used for both videos or photos, but is valid only for public accounts. "When someone mentions you in their story, you receive a notification in your 'Direct message' thread with that person. Now you'll see an option to add that content to your own story," Instagram wrote in a blog post.
