If you&#8217;re tagged, Instagram notifies you via Direct Message, enabling you to quickly repost it with customization options. If the \u201cAdd to Your Story\u201d button doesn\u2019t appear, it\u2019s often due to privacy settings, expired Stories, or app glitches. If you&#8217;re not tagged, you can still share a public Story using third-party apps like StorySaver or by manually screen recording or taking a screenshot while remembering to credit the original creator. Stories can also be shared privately via Direct Messages or externally using a shareable link, though these are only active while the Story is live. To make your own Stories reshareable, enable resharing in your settings and tag others to encourage reposting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can You Share Someone Else\u2019s Story on Instagram?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, but only under certain conditions. Instagram does not allow users to freely repost just any Story. You can typically only share another person\u2019s Story if:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>You\u2019ve been tagged<\/strong> in that Story.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The user\u2019s account is public<\/strong> (for indirect shares like DMs or outside the app).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The original poster <strong>has enabled resharing permissions<\/strong> in their privacy settings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Instagram restricts this feature to maintain privacy and control over content. If you aren\u2019t tagged in a Story, your options become limited, and you may need workarounds such as third-party tools, screen recordings, or direct messaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Share a Story You\u2019ve Been Tagged In<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When someone tags you in their Instagram Story, the app typically notifies you via Direct Message. Once tagged, sharing it to your own Story is quick and simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step-by-Step on Sharing a Tagged Story<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Open the Instagram App<\/strong>: Go to the home screen and tap the paper plane (DM) icon in the top-right corner.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Find the Tag Notification<\/strong>: You\u2019ll see a message that says \u201c@username mentioned you in their story.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tap \u201cAdd to Your Story\u201d<\/strong>: This will open the Story editor where you can customize the Story with stickers, text, or GIFs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Post It<\/strong>: Tap \u201cYour Story\u201d or \u201cClose Friends\u201d to

the tagged content as your own Story, crediting the original poster by default.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to Do If the Option Doesn\u2019t Appear<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, even if you\u2019re tagged, the \u201cAdd to Your Story\u201d option may not show up. Here\u2019s why and what to try:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Private Account<\/strong>: If the original poster has a private account, their Story can\u2019t be reshared.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Settings Restriction<\/strong>: The user may have disabled resharing of their Stories under Settings &gt; Privacy &gt; Story &gt; Allow Resharing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Expired Story<\/strong>: Stories vanish after 24 hours. If you wait too long, you\u2019ll lose the window to share.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>App Glitches<\/strong>: Try updating Instagram or restarting your device.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If all else fails, ask the user to enable sharing or send you the content directly to reshare manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Share a Story You\u2019re Not Tagged In<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you haven\u2019t been tagged in someone\u2019s Instagram Story, you won\u2019t see the \u201cAdd to Your Story\u201d option. However, that doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re completely out of options. While Instagram limits sharing for privacy reasons, there are still a few indirect (but effective) methods to share a Story you\u2019re not tagged in  especially if it\u2019s public content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using Third-Party Apps<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are apps and websites specifically designed to help you view and download public Instagram Stories. These tools are often used by marketers or content creators who need to reshare content while giving credit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Popular third-party options include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>StorySaver<\/strong> (Android)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Repost for Instagram<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>InstaSave<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Steps:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Copy the username or Story URL (if public).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Paste it into the app or site.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Download the Story to your device.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repost it using your Story editor, crediting the original creator if needed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>\u26a0\ufe0f Always respect content ownership. Even when using third-party tools, sharing someone else\u2019s Story without permission can violate Instagram\u2019s community guidelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using Screen Record or Screenshot<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A quick and manual method is using your device\u2019s built-in tools to capture the Story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To screen record:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>iOS:<\/strong> Swipe down \u2192 Tap the screen record icon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Android:<\/strong> Swipe down \u2192 Tap \u201cScreen Record\u201d (if available) or use a third-party recorder.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To screenshot:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>View the Story \u2192 Press the side + volume button (iOS) or power + volume down (Android).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once captured, you can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Post the image or video to your Story.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add stickers, text, or hashtags to customize.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Credit the user in text (e.g., \u201c@username\u201d).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This method is also handy if you&#8217;re trying to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.famety.net\/blog\/how-to-share-a-reel-on-instagram\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">share a reel on Instagram<\/a> as part of your Story and want to clip or screen record a moment before sharing it creatively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While not officially endorsed by Instagram, these alternatives offer a way to keep up with content when standard sharing isn\u2019t available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Share a Story via Direct Message (DM)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Instagram allows you to privately share Stories with individuals or groups using Direct Message (DM). This is useful for content that\u2019s time-sensitive or specifically relevant to someone.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.famety.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/share-a-story-via-direct-message.png\" alt=\"How to Share a Story via Direct Message (DM)\" class=\"wp-image-40937\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.famety.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/share-a-story-via-direct-message.png 960w, https:\/\/www.famety.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/share-a-story-via-direct-message-480x320.png 480w, https:\/\/www.famety.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/share-a-story-via-direct-message-192x128.png 192w, https:\/\/www.famety.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/share-a-story-via-direct-message-768x512.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Steps to share via DM:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tap on the Story you want to share.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap the paper plane (send icon) at the bottom.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select the friend(s) or group chat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hit <strong>Send<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The Story will appear in their inbox as a preview, clickable for the full view (if it\u2019s still active). Note that private account Stories can only be viewed by mutual followers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Make Your Stories Shareable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want others to easily reshare your content, you\u2019ll need to ensure your account settings allow it.
