Rumors of an Instagram regram function have circulated a number of times, and they were renewed this week when\u00a0The Verge<\/a><\/em>\u00a0reported that the company was working on a reshare feature. But while Instagram initially told the site that it had no comment about the report, it is now saying that such a function is flat out “not happening.” It told both\u00a0The Verge<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0TechCrunch<\/a><\/em>\u00a0that it’s neither building nor testing a regram feature.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Verge<\/em>\u00a0reported 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\u00a0The Verge<\/em>\u00a0with screenshots of posts shared with the feature, which the site noted looked like was in very early stages of development.<\/p>\n

Though Instagram denies that it’s working on a regram function, this isn’t the first time evidence of one has been spotted —\u00a0The Next Web<\/em>\u00a0shared images of what appeared to be a\u00a0native regram button<\/a>\u00a0last November. The social network also took steps towards regramming earlier this year when it began allowing users to\u00a0share posts<\/a>\u00a0and, later,\u00a0others’ stories<\/a>\u00a0in their own stories.<\/p>\n

Even if the company isn’t working on regramming right now, it doesn’t mean it never will, since it appears that Instagram revisits the topic now and again. The company’s co-founders told\u00a0Wired<\/a><\/em>\u00a0last year that they “debate the re-share thing a lot.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
