New Instagram Features That Can Help Property Owners and Renters
Instagram just launched some amazing new tools, and if you’re a homeowner, renter, or property manager, you’re going to love how helpful they are!
At ALLSTATES Property Management, we always keep an eye on trends and technology that make life easier and these new Instagram features are perfect for staying connected, sharing homes, and making meetups simpler.
Let’s take a look at Instagram’s new Reposts and Instagram Map tools, and how you can use them today.
🔁 What Are Instagram Reposts?
Instagram Reposts let you share other people’s Reels and feed posts directly to your own profile. Instead of just adding something to your Story (where it disappears in 24 hours), now you can repost content that stays visible on a new tab called “Reposts” right on your profile!
This is a great way to show your favorite content, like:
- A beautiful home tour 🏡
- Rental tips from other users
- DIY ideas or home improvement hacks
- Community news or events near your property
💡 How to Repost on Instagram:
- Open Instagram and find a public Reel or post you love.
- Tap the Repost button (you’ll see it near the share icon).
- Want to add your own message? Tap your profile icon in the corner and type your note.
- Hit Add and it will appear in your “Reposts” tab!
✅ Your followers will see your repost in their feed.
💬 Any comments will come to your DMs (Direct Messages) so you can connect fast.
⚠️ You can only repost original content (not content that’s already been reposted).
📍 What Is the Instagram Map?
The Instagram Map is a real time location sharing tool that works inside your DMs. It lets you share your live location with someone you’re chatting with which is perfect for meeting up at a property, rental tour, or open house.
This feature is optional, private, and completely controlled by you. You choose how long to share your location from one hour to all day.
🧭 How to Use the Instagram Map:
- Open a DM chat with the person you want to meet.
- Tap the plus (+) icon or attachment button.
- Choose “Location.”
- Tap “Share real time location” and select how long you want to share.
- Your location will show up as a pin on a map inside the chat.
If they share theirs too, you’ll see each other in real time!
