Instagram is trialling a 'repost' feature that will appear in users' feeds.
The option to repost is already available through Instagram stories and direct messages.
It would work similarly to Twitter's retweet button, according to reports from TechCrunch.
Other features being tested include a 'not interested' button where users can flag content they don't want to see.
Meta says it will immediately hide these posts and refrain from displaying similar content in the future.
Prior to this change, users only had the option to use the Not Interested feature on one post at a time.
The company will also start testing the ability for users to choose to not see suggested posts with certain words, phrases or emojis in the caption or hashtag.
The launch of the new features comes as Instagram recently decided to temporarily reduce the number of suggested posts that users see.
