Trick 1: Repost Reels to Your Story Without Original Creator’s ID
This trick lets you share Reels to your story without the original creator’s username visible. Here’s how:
- Open the Reel you want to repost and tap the share icon (paper plane).
- Select Add Reel to Your Story from the options.
- In the story editor, tap the text tool and type any random text (even a single letter works).
- Tap and hold the text you just typed, then select Delete twice quickly.
- The original creator’s ID will disappear. You can now add stickers or filters and share your clean story.
Important note: This trick is for aesthetic purposes only. Always give credit to the original creator if you’re using their content for commercial or public-facing posts—Instagram’s guidelines require proper attribution.
Trick 2: Send Silent Messages to Avoid Disturbing Others
Need to send a message without making the recipient’s phone ring? Use this silent message trick:
- Open the chat with the person you want to message.
- Tap the flash icon (lightning bolt) next to the text input field.
- Select Silent from the pop-up menu.
- Type your message and hit send. The recipient will get the message but no notification sound.
This is perfect for late-night check-ins or non-urgent updates—your message will be seen, but you won’t disturb anyone.

Respect Copyright Rules
When reposting Reels, even if you remove the ID, always ask the creator’s permission if you’re using their content for commercial purposes. Stealing content violates Instagram’s community guidelines and can lead to account restrictions.
Use Silent Messages Wisely
Silent messages are great for non-urgent chats, but avoid using them for time-sensitive requests. The recipient might not see the message immediately if they’re not active on Instagram.
