How to remove the new repost feature on Instagram: Protect your posts on your accounts

Instagram has launched an update that includes a new feature: the ability to republish or repost content from public accounts. This means you can share third-party posts with your followers , which will appear in your own feed. However, this new feature, similar to the one found on social network X, may be inconvenient for some users.

Nowadays, most social media users are very privacy-conscious , even when their account profile is publicly available. In these cases, you may want to prevent other users from republishing your content, although this is undoubtedly a way to expand your audience and reach.

So, if you want to disable this new Instagram feature, you can do so by following a few simple steps.

Keep in mind that if you have a private account, no one will be able to repost your content , even if they follow you. Disable 'Repost' on iPhone
