Instagram Reposts Vanish From App and Web

Some users say Instagram’s Repost feature has stopped working as expected. Reports describe missing Repost options, empty Reposts sections, and reposted videos that no longer appear on the web or in the app.

What users are seeing

One user said the Reposts tab stopped displaying videos between one day and the next. They checked other accounts and viewed profiles through Instagram’s web version and the Microsoft Store app, while the mobile interface still did not show the option to view reposts.

Another user said they could not see their own reposts or anyone else’s. They tested a VPN and different accounts, but the issue remained. They also said the feature was unavailable on their phone.

In another case, an account had the feature for about a week and was used to repost several reels. The Repost option later disappeared on Android and the web, and the user could not view other people’s reposts. The account was tested on multiple phones, and the user said Account Status showed no restrictions.

What remains unknown

The examples show similar missing or empty repost displays, but they do not establish whether the cause is a temporary bug, an account-specific issue, a device difference, or another change. One user had already reported the problem to Instagram, but the available information does not confirm that the feature returned or provide a reliable way to prevent the issue.
