Instagram Adds New Features, Including Reposts and Maps

Feed posts and public reels can now be reshared on the popular social-networking app.

Instagram has launched new features aimed at further connecting users with their online contacts, the company announced Wednesday. One involves sharing public feed posts and reels, another shares locations with others on an Instagram map, and a new Friends tab shows what content your contacts have liked or commented on.

For reposts, you’ll be able to share public reels and feed posts from other users. The original poster will be credited and those reshares will appear in the sharer’s profile in a new tab. Posts and reels will now include a reshare icon when they’re available to share.

Instagram says creators will be able to reach more people since those posts will be recommended to others’ followers.

You have to enable the new map feature to start sharing your last active location. You can set who can see your location and can also choose not to share your location when you’re in specific places, or have your location available to specific users.

Location sharing can be disabled at any time, Instagram says. Reels, posts and stories can be viewed through the map.

Also, a new Friends tab at the top of Reels shows public content from contacts. This feature has been available previously, but is now being expanded globally.

You can opt out of having your content displayed in the tab with options to hide likes, comments and reposts. You can also mute likes, comments and reposts from accounts you follow.
