Instagram has confirmed that it’s working on a RE-POST feature in the main feed.
According to a new finding by social media expert Matt Navarra, Instagram is now testing a new ‘Repost’ option, which would enable users to amplify any post by re-sharing it to their followers in the app. As you can below, soon, users will be able to view a display of all of the posts that a user has re-posted.
In the words of Instagram –
“We’re exploring the ability to reshare posts in Feed – similar to how you can reshare in Stories – so people can share what resonates with them, and so original creators are credited for their work. We plan to test this soon with a small number of people.”
“By 2016, people were missing 70% of all their posts in Feed, including almost half of posts from their close connections.”
Instagram chief Adam Mosseri has admitted such, and has vowed to improve its recommendation systems in this respect. But even if it can improve, is that really what people want? Do Instagram users want IG to essentially abandon its established processes, and their inputs/networks/connections, in order to flood their feed with randomized, tangentially related posts and clips?
As a counter, Mosseri also says that most personal sharing has switched to DMs and Stories anyway. So stop sooking about your precious main feed – if you want to see posts from people that you choose, go talk to them personally, rather than expecting to see it in your feed, where you always have.
Only time can tell how successful Instagram’s Re-post feature would be.
