How To Repost On Facebook

In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to share or repost content to keep your Facebook page up to date.

The easiest way to repost on Facebook is by using the Share button. You can find this button next to most Facebook posts on the social network. You can share or repost content to your own timeline or to a friend’s timeline.

How to Repost on Facebook Web

The instructions are different for desktop and mobile versions of the app. Here’s how to repost on Facebook on your computer.

Share now will share the post straight away with your previously set audience settings. Share to Feed allows you to change the post first, like setting a new audience and adding a description or hashtags. Share to your Story will share the post to your Facebook Stories. Send in Messenger allows you to select a Messenger chat where the post will be shared. Aside from that, you can share the selected post to a page, a group, and on a friend’s profile.

How to Repost on Facebook Mobile

If you prefer using Facebook on your iPhone or Android smartphone, here’s how to repost on the Facebook mobile app.

Share to your story is an option that you can use for Facebook videos. Share to a Page’s story is a similar option, but for sharing videos on your personal or business page. Send in Messenger allows you to send the post in a Messenger chat instead of someone’s Facebook profile. Send in WhatsApp lets you repost something straight to a WhatsApp chat or group. Some more sharing options include sharing to a Facebook group or page, as well as sharing the post’s link outside of Facebook (like sharing a post as a Tweet or to your Instagram Stories)

Once the reposted content appears on your Facebook account, your friends will be able to view the original post by clicking on your post. Any likes and comments from the original post will appear on the right side of the window.
The Share feature allows you to skip giving credit to the original post’s author, as the people viewing the post on your wall still see who the original author was.

If the original poster tweaked the privacy settings and the post doesn’t seem shareable anymore, you can still share it using the copy link method.

How to Repost on Facebook from Instagram

Want to repost your Instagram posts and Reels on your Facebook page? Instagram has the option to cross-post to Facebook if you link your Instagram account with Facebook. You can only use it on the Instagram app and not on the Instagram web, so you’ll have to use your smartphone.
You can share an individual Instagram post to your Facebook page or change the settings to automatically share all of your future Instagram posts to Facebook.

Other Ways to Repost on Facebook
