<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">The <a href="https://gospeedcheck.com/article/facebook-enhances-photo-experience-for-blind-visually-impaired-users-256">Facebook</a>-owned platform says that some users do not like to see the exact same content from the feed being share in Instagram stories, since each feature was made for a different purpose. </p>

<h2 dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify" id="tag-16"><strong>Which users from which regions will no longer have access to the reshare option?</strong></h2>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Instagram told that this change is being tested “within a few selected regions.” The social network also noted that at this stage, "there's no plan to roll this change out more broadly." </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Now, it is unclear how Instagram determines which users from which areas will no longer have access to the reshare option.</p>
