In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to share or repost content to keep your Facebook page up to date.
How to Repost on Facebook Using a Share Button
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.

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
Another way to repost or share a post on Facebook or any other social media network is to take a screenshot of the post and then share it on your page. That way, you don’t have to worry about giving credit to the original creator, as you can simply leave their name visible on the screenshot.
