• App-related issues could be causing the problem. Try closing and reopening the Instagram app or updating it to the latest version to resolve any glitches.

• Violating Instagram’s community guidelines might restrict your ability to share stories. Review the guidelines to ensure your content complies with their standards.

You can’t share a story you were mentioned in because of privacy and control reasons

Instagram does not allow users to forward posts due to the platform’s focus on fostering original and authentic content sharing. This limitation is intentional to prevent the over-distribution of content and maintain the integrity of individual posts. By restricting the ability to forward posts, Instagram aims to encourage users to engage more meaningfully with the content they see on their feed. Users can still share posts through direct messages or repost them using third-party apps, but the native forward feature is intentionally absent on the platform.

To share and tag on Instagram stories:

• Open the Instagram app and tap on your profile picture to create a new story.
• To share a post, tap on the paper airplane icon below the post and select “Add post to your story.”
• To tag someone, use the text or sticker tool and type “@” followed by the username you want to tag.
• Remember, you can only tag people who follow you or who allow you to tag them.

To save someone else’s Instagram story on an iPhone:

You can’t share someone’s story to your story on social media platforms like Instagram because:
