Native Reposts Change Engagement
- Instagram added a native repost feature that boosts someone else's post into your followers' feeds and creates a reposts tab on your profile.
- Reposts can't be edited and show a small bubble; creators can see repost counts in post insights and notifications.
Repost Your Own Posts By Reposting Fresh
- Do not rely on the built-in repost button to boost your own posts; instead post your top content again as a fresh post every 60–90 days.
- Reposting your own content via the button showed almost no increase in views during early tests.
Repost Joins The Core Engagement Set
- Repost becomes a new fifth engagement metric alongside like, comment, save, and share, and ranks high in importance for reach.
- Brock ranks engagement importance: 1) share, 2) repost, 3) like, 4) comment, 5) save.
