Instagram Reposts: How They Work and Who Sees Them
An Instagram repost is you passing someone else's public post or reel to your own audience with your name attached, and it collects in a Reposts tab on your profile where anyone who can see your profile can find it. It is public, it is credited, and the account you reposted can see that you did it, which makes it the opposite of saving a post quietly to a collection. Reposting does not copy the post into your grid and it does not take the likes away from the original: the post keeps its own audience and its own numbers, and your repost simply points more people at it. This page covers how to repost, where reposts appear, how reposting differs from sharing and from adding a post to your story, whether the creator is told, and how to undo one. InstaBoost is a UK service selling Instagram reposts, followers, likes, reel views, story views, saves and shares, priced in pounds, paid through PayPal, with no account to create and no password ever requested. The minimum reposts order is fifty.

What a repost actually is
A repost is a public credit. You take a post or reel that was already public, pass it to your own audience, and your username stays attached to the act. The original stays where it was, keeps its own likes and comments, and loses nothing.
That is what separates it from the older habit of screenshotting a post and uploading it as your own. A screenshot strips the credit unless you add it back by hand, and creators notice. A repost carries the link back to them automatically.
It is also not a save. Saving a post is private and invisible to everyone including the creator. Reposting is visible to everyone who can see your profile, so the two tools answer completely different questions.
Start at the minimum and see how it lands
Fifty reposts is the smallest order we take on any service. Post link only, no password, paid in pounds with the price shown in the table above.
How to repost a post or reel
Open the post or reel, use the repost control beneath it, and confirm. The repost is published to your audience and joins the Reposts tab on your profile, where it stays until you remove it. You can add your own note when the option is offered, and a short line of context usually earns more attention than reposting silently.
The control only appears on public posts. If an account is private, or the creator has turned resharing off, there is no repost button and there should not be a workaround: that is the creator's setting and copying the post manually ignores it.
Reposting works from the app rather than from any third-party tool. Nothing about it needs your password, and no service should ever ask for one to make a repost happen.
Make a good post look widely passed on
A repost count reads as a stronger signal than a like, because it costs the person doing it a slot on their own profile. Delivery completes within twenty-four hours.
Where reposts go and who can see them
Reposts collect in their own tab on your profile, separate from your grid, and they can also appear in the feeds of people who follow you. Anyone who can see your profile can open that tab and scroll everything you have ever reposted.
A repost is exactly as public as the account doing the reposting. A public profile means anyone can see it. A private profile means only accepted followers can, and there is no setting that keeps a Reposts tab private while the rest of a public profile stays open.
The tab is cumulative and it stays that way until you remove an entry. People trying to understand an account often read it more carefully than the grid, because a grid is curated and a Reposts tab is a record of what you chose to pass along.
For a launch post that has to travel
A thousand reposts suits a campaign post rather than an ordinary weekly one. Paced delivery, public account required, thirty-day refill on every order.
Reposts, shares and story re-shares are three different things
The three get used interchangeably and they behave differently. A repost is public, credited and permanent until removed. A share is a private send to one person or a small group. A story re-share is public but disappears after twenty-four hours.
Choosing between them is really a choice about how long you want it to last and how many people should see it. A repost is the one that keeps working, because it stays on your profile for anyone who visits later.
It also matters for anyone buying engagement, because the three are separate services with separate minimums here. Reposts start at fifty, shares start at a hundred, and story views start at two hundred and fifty.
- Repost: public, your name attached, sits in your Reposts tab until you remove it.
- Share: private, sent to one person or a group, invisible to everyone else.
- Story re-share: public to your followers, then gone after twenty-four hours.
- Save: completely private, and the creator is never told.
- Screenshot and re-upload: no credit, and usually unwelcome.
For an account already working at scale
This size only looks natural on a profile that already earns serious engagement. Keep the post up throughout and check the price in the table above.
Does the original creator know you reposted?
Yes, and most of them are pleased about it. Reposting is a public credit rather than a quiet copy, and creators can generally see which accounts have passed their work along, in the same way they can see engagement on the post.
There is no anonymous version. If you want to keep a post without telling anyone, saving it to a private collection is the tool for that, and the creator is never notified about a save.
For anyone trying to get noticed by a bigger account, this is useful rather than awkward. Reposting a creator you want to work with puts your name next to their work and hands them engagement at the same time.
How to remove a repost
Open the repost on your own profile, use its menu, and remove it. It leaves your Reposts tab and stops appearing in feeds from that moment, and the original post is completely unaffected.
What removing it cannot do is unsend it. Anyone who already saw it has seen it, and screenshots outlive any button. Treat the decision to repost as the permanent one and the removal as tidying up afterwards.
If you have bought reposts on one of your own posts, keep that post up until the order has finished. An order cannot be redirected to a different post once delivery has started.
Buying reposts: what it does, and how an order works
Buying reposts raises the repost count on one specific post of yours. That number reads as a stronger signal than a like, because passing a post along costs the person doing it a slot on their own profile, so a post with reposts looks like a post that travelled.
It does not bring you followers, it does not choose who sees the post, and no supplier can promise Instagram will leave every repost in place. Those are the honest limits. What can be stated is the minimum, the delivery window and the refill terms.
The minimum reposts order is fifty. You give the link to the post, keep the account public, and no password is ever requested, because delivery works from the outside. Delivery starts within minutes and orders complete within nought to twenty-four hours, paid in pounds through PayPal, with a thirty-day refill on every order and the price for each quantity in the table at the top of this page.
Questions people ask before ordering
What is an Instagram repost?
A repost is you passing someone else's public post or reel to your own audience with your username attached. It collects in a Reposts tab on your profile and can appear in your followers' feeds. The original post is unchanged and keeps its own likes and comments.
Where do Instagram reposts appear?
In a Reposts tab on your profile, separate from your grid, and in the feeds of people who follow you. Anyone who can see your profile can open that tab and scroll everything you have reposted. The tab is cumulative and stays that way until you remove an entry.
Are Instagram reposts public?
A repost is exactly as public as the account doing the reposting. On a public profile, anyone can see it. On a private profile, only accepted followers can, and there is no setting that hides a Reposts tab while the rest of a public profile stays open.
Does the creator know I reposted their post?
Yes. Reposting is a public credit rather than a quiet copy, and creators can generally see which accounts passed their work along. There is no anonymous version, so if you want to keep a post without telling anyone, save it to a private collection instead.
What is the difference between a repost and a share?
A repost is public, credited and stays on your profile until you remove it. A share is a private send to one person or a small group and nobody else sees it. A story re-share sits between them: public to your followers, but gone after twenty-four hours.
How do I delete an Instagram repost?
Open the repost on your own profile, use its menu and remove it. It leaves your Reposts tab and stops appearing in feeds straight away, and the original post is unaffected. Anyone who already saw it has seen it, so removal is tidying up rather than undoing.
Can I buy Instagram reposts, and what is the minimum?
Yes, and the minimum here is fifty, which is the lowest minimum of anything we sell. You give the link to the post, keep the account public, and never a password. Payment is in pounds through PayPal with no account to create on this site.
How long does a reposts order take to deliver?
Delivery starts within minutes of payment clearing and the order completes within nought to twenty-four hours, paced rather than dropped in one go. The account must stay public and the post must stay up for the whole delivery. Every order carries a thirty-day refill covering any drop inside that month.
