Instagram now allows you to reshare posts from Stories, but there's a catchJune 9 (AZINS) Starting this week, you will be able to re-share a post from Stories of your friends. However, there's a catch.

Instagram has added the ability for users to share a post from Stories. However, only those posts can be re-shared in which you have been tagged, Mashable has reported. You will be able to not only share it on your feed, but also add it to your own Story for a 24-hour duration.

The battle of the social media platforms continues as Instagram is reportedly also working on a way to provide their influencers new features that resemble Snapchat's ‘Discover' and could help lure YouTube stars. Instagram currently offers users the ability to post minute-long videos, which means many influencers rely on other platforms, such as YouTube or Snapchat to post their longer videos; however that may all change very soon.

According to a report from TechCrunch, multiple sources have claimed that the popular photo-sharing social network will offer “a dedicated space featuring scripted shows, music videos and more in vertically oriented, full-screen, high-def 4K resolution.” Furthermore, the average Instagram user will be able to upload longer videos too, though the maximum time isn't mentioned in the report.

Essentially this would offer popular YouTubers, as well as Snapchatters a new place to post videos and earn money. It's reported that Instagram is considering selling ads that would play either before or during the content. TechCrunch claims that the new video formats will adopt current ‘story' features, such as swipe-up to open a link, so that influencers can redirect followers to their websites, e-commerce stores or event ticketing. The longer clips could also be featured on authors' profiles close to the ‘Story Highlights' although they will only be pre-made video uploads; stories will remain as a collection of 60-second clips.
