Instagram is a social media platform where we can share our photos and videos on our accounts. As you know, all social media applications are based on trial and error because it’s tough to predict which features will be popular and which will flop. In August 2021, Instagram introduced a new update allowing us to re-share our stories. Not everyone liked this feature initially, and some found it complicated to use. However, after considering all the feedback, Instagram simplified the process, making it easier to share stories.
