Before I tell you how to repost on VKontakte, I would like to explain what it actually is. Repost is a duplicate, repeated publication limited to one single website. The phrase “repost” usually means transferring a post to your VK page or to the wall of a VK community.
Using a voluntary repost:
— photography; — audio recording; — message in the group; — video; — news from the articles section; — news from the message feed; - all other types of combined elements that are available to VK.
Moreover, making a repost on VKontakte is not at all difficult, and the site kindly shares information with its readers about how this is done. Since there is no point in publishing clear step-by-step instructions on how to repost on VKontakte (due to its elementary and simplicity), we decided to focus the reader’s attention on the fundamental points related to some important elements.
Note: after the repost is made, the information appears on the wall of the user or the selected community, where your friends and comrades can already see it. In essence, reposting means transferring information to your own profile wall.
How to repost on VKontakte: news
1. To repost news, you need to go to the news section of the site (“News” in the menu on the left).
2. Among the news, find the desired entry and hover the mouse cursor over it.
5. All that remains is to go to your main page and check that the repost was a success. The entry should be displayed as the last message on your profile wall.

Actually, this topic can be closed at this point. In this step-by-step instructions, we looked at several options for how you can repost posts in a group, news and photos, which is quite enough to successfully share interesting materials on your own profile wall. The information that you repost additionally appears in the news feed of your friends, so that is where it will be noticed by a wide audience.
Almost all major social networks are gradually being integrated with each other. VKontakte and Instagram were no exception. You can publish photos or videos on Instagram, and then automatically send them to your VK wall. At the same time, you save time and effort on uploading material to each of the social networks. The service does not always work smoothly, and some users do not know all the intricacies of setting up automatic publication.
In this article we will figure out why photos from Instagram are not published on VKontakte and how to fix this problem.
Setting up Instagram settings
We figured out why Instagram doesn’t publish photos on VK. First, let's set the correct settings in the VK client from a mobile device through the application. It can be downloaded for free from the Play Market or App Store, depending on the platform of your phone or tablet.
After downloading and installing, follow all the steps from the presented algorithm:
Photos are still not imported from Instagram to VKontakte? Everything is correct - we just need to make the settings in VK from the computer. Let's look at this procedure.
Settings on a social network site
To enable the necessary settings on VKontakte, follow these steps:
If Instagram does not post photos and they are not duplicated in VK, then try reinstalling the application on your smartphone or tablet.
We figured out why Instagram doesn’t share photos posted from VK and how to fix this problem.
With our instructions you can do this easily.
An ordinary Internet user may not always need to know how to repost in a contact.
After all, with the help of so-called reposts, you can transfer information, an image or video already known to one user to other people, a group or an entire community.
What is a repost?
This term refers to posting someone else's post on your page. Most often, this is a message sent by a friend or posted in a group the user is a member of.
Thus, a repost is a copy of the entire post, but without the comments related to it.
Using this action, you can replicate interesting and relevant messages from another page, increasing their popularity among friends, acquaintances and community members.
The more reposts, the more popular the information.
And the object of copying your profile or group can be almost any content - from a photograph to a musical composition. It is also acceptable to repost a video or link.
It is worth noting that a repost on VKontakte is immediately noticeable - by the name of the page from which the information was copied.
Thus, the message has two authors indicated at once - the one who reposted it, and the person or group who posted it earlier.
If there is multiple repost, the second title indicates the original source.
We note a few more articles that may be useful to you:
Removing a repost from someone else's page
After posting someone else's post on your page, you can delete it at any time. The system works in a similar way: when a repost was made from you, then it is enough to resort to irreversible destruction of the information. But what if the post was too important and the person who copied it to his page is disgusting to you? It is enough to delete an existing entry, add that same user to the blacklist and make a post again, at the same time converting it or eliminating possible shortcomings. By the way, contacting technical support to remove a repost from another person’s page is a useless idea, because everything can be changed on your own. If you simply add a person to the blacklist, it will not give anything, because the entry will remain posted on his page. Unfortunately, it is not possible to prevent sharing through system settings.
Types of reposts in VK
There are several repost options that can be done on VKontakte:
- From one profile page to your own;
- From the community to the wall of a social network user;
- From profile to page in group;
- From one community to another;
- Repost as a personal message to the user.
All rules for copying and distributing information are the same both on a computer and when logging into a social network from a phone or tablet.
When working in a browser or mobile application, the icons are no different. Except that on a smartphone it will be more difficult to press them.
Repost rules
The simplest type of repost is to copy a message to your profile wall, regardless of where the original post is located - in the community or with another person.
To do this, follow these steps:
- Find a suitable interesting post, information from which you would like to see on your page;
- Click the heart-shaped image below the message;
- On the menu that appears with profile images of users who also liked the information, select “Tell friends.”
Now a message from another page has appeared on your wall, which all subscribers can see.
And, if your profile is set to allow all friends to see your updates, they will be able to see this post the next time they log into their profile.
To do this, you should use an icon not in the shape of a heart, but one depicting a small megaphone.
How else are reposts used?
Often on VK you can find catchy headlines like “We give away phones for reposting.” They use this to increase the total number of users and stir up interest in a group or a specific page.
Can you believe this? It all depends on which group is holding the prize draw. If she has managed to prove herself only on the positive side, then the chances of receiving a prize are actually high. But draws where a car or an apartment is at stake often cause serious misunderstanding, because no one in their right mind would just give away equipment, much less real estate.
The situation is completely different with the giveaway of food, covers or T-shirts. You can actually get something like this for free, because users, with their reposts, thereby promote a brand, group, etc.
Ultimately, only you can decide whether to repost or not, because there is really a lot of interesting information, but all of it definitely won’t fit on one page.
Reposting is an opportunity to share some information while fully preserving its structure and indicating the source. On the social network VKontakte, reposts are used to share a publication with friends or a group of people.
The VKontakte repost icon looks like a loudspeaker with a blue fill. It is located to the right of the “Like” buttons and has no signature, just an icon.
Repost with a choice of recipients
Advice!
You can make sure that your friends will receive a repost from your page and see it in their news feed by clicking on the “megaphone”. After this, a menu will appear for selecting a recipient.
Here you can specify who the message is intended for:
- Friends and subscribers.
In this case, the repost will only go to the wall. This method is additional for copying an entry to your profile; - Community subscribers.
This option is available only to users who are also administrators of a VKontakte group.
If there are several communities, in the field below you should enter the name of the one whose subscribers the information is intended for.
- To a specific person.
Here you can select not only your friends (names are filtered by the first letters, so you don’t have to type them all), but also just VKontakte users whose mailing address you know.
If you select multiple users, a conversation will automatically be created between the people to whom the message was sent.
You can attach a comment, a photo from your phone, a document, or even an audio or video file from your album to the post you repost.
If you select the “Timer” item here, the data will be sent to the recipients not now, but at the specified time.
This can be useful, for example, to remind you of an event.
The “Export” tab allows you to obtain a code that can be used to insert into a message not posted on VKontakte.
Greetings, friends!
We continue to understand the VKontakte interface. Today you will learn how to repost on VK, its types, how it is useful and what subtleties there are.
Why it’s worth looking into - this tool is effective both for personal use on social networks and for running business pages. There are rules by which copy-paste legalized by the site is carried out.
Let us briefly outline for a clear understanding what a repost is. This is a function that allows you to save the selected post to your wall, send it to the community or send it as a private message. The post you share in this way will include the original source.
Next, let's figure out what the word itself means, which came to us from another language. To the word “post,” as VKontakte publications are called, the English prefix “re” is added, which means “reproduction”, “repeat”. That is, information is repeated, roughly speaking, copy-paste.
This allows you to instantly share and save information, whereas regular copying takes much longer. For example, when you need to save a beautiful selection of photos or music, useful educational materials or videos. To reproduce the material in the same form, you will need to separately upload pictures and add compositions, documents, videos.
We make it easier - with one click we duplicate the desired publication and save it.
How to repost a post?
Pages on the wall
To repost to a page, highlight the first item – “Friends and subscribers”. The information will be saved on the wall of your personal page and displayed in the feed of friends and subscribers.
To the group/community
To copy-paste to a group, select the second item – “Community Subscribers”. A list will open where you can duplicate the selected post. After that, you can pin it in the header, like a regular publication.
Repost on behalf of the group
For this type of repost, you must have administrator rights. Important note: you can only repost on behalf of the group. You cannot have your name mentioned in a publication.
If this nuance is important, then make an appropriate comment on the entry.
By personal message
By sending a post as a private message, you will send it directly into a conversation with the selected person. If you select several people, a separate conversation will be created with all participants.
With comment
The functionality of VKontakte allows you to repost with text - add a comment or postscript on your behalf. Pay attention to the special field after the options menu.
You can add a photo, audio, or document along with your comment. However, you can only attach one file.
Delayed repost
In the menu that opens, select the publication date and time.
Using your phone
The steps on how to repost from your phone are the same as on the website. If you open the browser in the mobile version, the algorithm is the same.
Click on the arrow icon under the post and select from the menu where to send the information. A field for commenting and attaching files appears. When everything is ready, click “Submit” - the publication is ready.

Anyone can make a repost on the wall in VK, from this you can understand that there is a list of users who shared this post. To see who reposted on VK, just hover over the repost icon and wait a couple of seconds.

Only their avatars will be indicated; to display the full information, click on the text “Shared by [number of shared] people.” A window will pop up, and it will be in it that the pages with the repost of this post will be listed. This list also displays all VK groups that sent a post to their wall. The list contains a link to the source of the repost, an avatar, the first and last name of the person who reposted, or the name of the VK group.
In addition, under the ava and nickname there is a user comment regarding this post. Please note that this list of reposts includes only people who reposted on their wall or in a public VK group. That is, if someone reposts it to someone in private messages, a conversation, or a closed VKontakte group, this will not appear in the list of reposted people. Moreover, this will not be counted in the number of all reposts; only public reposts made for many people on the wall are counted there.
How did the repost from the page go?
After you have made a repost on the wall in VK, but then changed your mind about doing it, or the information in it is outdated, it is better to delete it. Unfortunately. You can delete a repost only on the wall; it will always remain in private messages. Even if you click the “delete” button after selecting a repost, only you will lose the message, while the other person will still have it saved. In a contact on the wall, you can delete a repost like any other post by clicking the cross next to the name of the post.
We open the wall of our page and scroll down, look for a post on the wall, then move the mouse cursor over the upper right corner of the post, a cross will appear there. Click on it and the post will be deleted. The exact same technology works with groups. To delete a repost on mobile phones, you need to find the post, click on the three dots next to the name, then select “Delete”.

Instructions on how to repost in VKontakte depend on where exactly you want to transfer the post: to your page, to a group or a personal message.
On your wall?
Let’s say you’re walking around the expanses of a social network and come across an interesting post, how can you repost it on your VKontakte wall? It's not difficult at all. By the way, this function was originally called “Tell Friends”. Look at any post on VK (I hope you don’t need to explain what a post is?):
- Each published post is always accompanied by a context line with icons: like, comment, share, find out the number of views of the post;
- We are interested in an arrow with a rounded tail. Click on the symbol;
- The required section will open. In order for the publication to be duplicated on your wall, in the audience selection column, leave a checkmark on the item called “On your wall.” It is at this moment that in the “Your comment” section you can tag the person in the post or add some accompanying text.

In addition, the entry will be posted on behalf of the group. If you want your data to be displayed, you will have to place it in the comments. By the way, we can delete a comment at any time, and users will not know that you wrote something.
- You can share someone else's post from the community only if the public is not closed. So first check the status of the community, so that later you don’t get stuck with the question: “Why can’t I repost from a VKontakte group”? There will most likely be one answer: the community is closed.
By the way, every VKontakte post has a repost icon in the shape of an eye. It will help you look at views (sorry for the tautology) and understand what topics are interesting to your readers. Moreover, now it is no longer possible to see who reposted your post.
In a personal message?
But it happens that you see some post on a social network and realize that it’s about you. And I immediately want to share it with one specific loved one. Is it possible to do this? Yes, there is no problem. Reposting on VK allows you to share important news with one specific person. He will receive it as an incoming message and will be able to read it in dialogue. For this:
