How to share a story to your story

Tap below the photo or video in Feed. Tap Add post/video to your story. Tap Add to Story. Keep in mind that when you share someone's post to your story, anyone who views it can see who originally posted it and can view the original account.

You can share someone else's Instagram Story to your own if you've been tagged in it. If you haven't been tagged, you can still share an Instagram story through direct message. To share an Instagram story outside of the app, you can copy a link to send via text or email.

The most typical reason is that the person who publishes the original story has not allowed their followers to share. To mark it, go to your profile -> Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Story Controls -> Shared Content.
