Reposting on Instagram: How it Works

Reposting is not an organic feature you can set through Instagram but who said it can’t be done? It can be a strategy you can make.

What is reposting?

There is that one chance or post that goes viral. What does going viral mean? Going viral means an image or video link spreads rapidly across social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, and others.

You might have noticed that some posts have more likes, comments, or reactions than others. If that is the case, head on to the top posts on your Instagram and have them reposted.

What are Top Posts?
