How To Repost A Video On TikTok
To repost a video on TikTok, open the app and find the video in question. Tap the share (arrow) icon at the bottom right of the screen and select the yellow button with white arrows that says 'Repost.' Tapping this button will repost the video. The repost will not appear on the 's profile, but can appear in their friends' For You Page. Like other social media s, the content is credited to the original creator, and is simply being relayed through the .
After a video has been reposted, the 's profile picture will be displayed above the original creator's name. s will also have the option to tap on the '+Add comment' button, which will display their comment over the reposted video. When a adds a comment to a reposted video, it also appears in the comment section of the original video, where other s (and not just the 's followers) can view it.
TikTok also allows s to undo a repost. The method works the same way as reposting, with the tapping the share button on the video and then 'Remove Repost.' However, there are some caveats. When a reposts a video on TikTok, it can begin appearing in their followers feeds instantly, so they will need to undo the repost quickly. Additionally, since the reposted video doesn't appear on a 's profile, finding the reposted video in question can be tricky, unless a knows exactly which it was from.
Reposting a video on TikTok is simple and effective, and it has already changed how s interact on TikTok. While some s had complained that the repost button had disappeared from their s, that was likely due to TikTok still testing the feature. The repost button has since rolled out widely on TikTok, and it looks like the feature is here to stay.
