Instagram Says It's Not Working On a Regram Feature

Posted by BeauHD on from the sub-for-sub dept.

Soon after The Verge reported that Instagram was working on a reshare feature, the company said that the function is "not happening." It told The Verge and TechCrunch that it's neither building nor testing a regram feature. Engadget reports: The Verge reported on Thursday that Instagram appeared to be working on a way for users to easily share others' posts in their own feed. The feature would be housed in the menu situated in the upper right-hand corner of each post and would give users the option to "share to feed." A source familiar with the feature provided The Verge with screenshots of posts shared with the feature, which the site noted looked like was in very early stages of development.

    So I can tell this article is written in English. I can't understand a word of it.

    This whole pile of social media can just get off my lawn and die. I think this is a facebook owned one. It amazes me people use any of that stuff.

      I can read the facts but it's a tough (and depressing) pill to swallow.
