So Instagram recently added this repost feature where you can share someone else’s post directly to your feed.

Last night, while I couldn’t sleep, I found myself randomly scrolling through Instagram and ended up on my ex’s profile. We broke up 5 years ago, she’s married now, and we haven’t spoken since.

I clicked on her wedding post just to read the comments, but Instagram’s UI messed me up — the comment button’s usual spot has been replaced with the repost button. Without realizing, I tapped it, and it instantly reposted her wedding picture to my feed. No confirmation, no warning.

I freaked out and hit “undo” right away, but now I’m worried she might have gotten a notification about it. Does anyone know if Instagram notifies the original poster when you repost (even if you immediately undo it)?

TL;DR: Tried to read comments on my ex’s wedding post, accidentally reposted it to my feed instead. Immediately undid it, now spiraling wondering if she got a notification.
