Taking a Screenshot of the Post

Other than using an extra app to repost on Instagram, you can even go for the manual route and save the photo by taking a screenshot. Almost every device has the option to capture a screenshot of the screen, but this method is applicable for still images only. Here we explain how to capture a screenshot;

Method # 1:

  1. Get the post that you want to capture on your screen.
  2. Press the power and home button simultaneously and hold for a second. Some devices allow you to capture the screenshot by pressing the power and lock button at the same time.
  3. You will hear the camera sound, which indicates that you have captured the screenshot.
  4. If you then go to your gallery, the ‘‘screenshoted’’ image will be there.

Method # 2:

  1. Tilt the palm of your hand onto one side, with your pinky finger facing down.
  2. Now swipe your hand across the screen while ensuring that your hand actually touches the screen.
  3. You will hear the camera sound, which indicates that you have captured the screenshot.
  4. This method of capturing a screenshot is already turned on by default, but if it is not working on your device, make sure that it is turned on. You can turn it on by going to your device’s settings, reaching the ‘Motions and Gestures’ tab, and turn on ‘Palm Swipe to Capture’. If your device does not have any such setting, this option may not be available for your specific mobile.
  5. Once you capture your screenshot, it will be saved in your Gallery which you can repost on Instagram just as you would share just another photo. If you want to retain the original caption, you can include it in your screenshot too.
