Reposted an Instagram reel? I didn’t realize you could repost an Instagram reel? Where did it repost to? What does that even mean?

Them putting the repost button where the comments button used to be 🤨🤨 when I find who made that decision…

From what I've gathered, all that reposting does is stamp your face in a bubble on top of the post. I'm not sure if it even affects the algorithm

I thought that just showed up for others on reels you liked?

There's both for reels, I think, but the repost bubbles are on posts

It goes to a specific part on your page, it does not repost it to show it to other people’s feeds.

I think it does though. These are the bubbles I'm talking about.

It’s just like retweeting, that’s all. Your followers will see it in their feeds.

there’s also a timer icon on some stories now? (I think it means someone’s story is expiring soon but it shows up even if you’ve already watched that one so… idk how useful that is lol)
