On Tuesday, Instagram was testing a new feature that would allow users to re-share feed posts on their stories.
People tell us that they prefer original Stories content over reshared posts, so we're testing a new way to reshare w/ stickers. Our hope is that people will be more intentional when they share, which will create a better Stories experience for everyone. https://t.co/ZKWllvvJ5L

The feature would show you a list of posts that you’ve recently viewed or saved and will give you an option of what you want to share on your own story.
As explained by Instagram VP of Product at Instagram, Vishal Shah:
