This wikiHow teaches you how to share other people's Instagram photos or videos on your own feed page. If you want to share a photo, you can quickly take and upload a screenshot of the photo. For videos, you need to use a third party app like Regrammer. Since re-uploading content without the owner's permission is a violation of Instagram's terms of use, do not re-share content until you have clear permission from the original uploader.
