TikTok’s Repost feature lets you share videos from other creators directly to your followers’ feeds — similar to a retweet on X. It’s one of the simplest ways to share content you love, support other creators, and keep your presence active even when you’re not posting original content.
Here’s exactly how to repost on TikTok, what happens when you do it, and when you should (and shouldn’t) use this feature.
What Does Reposting on TikTok Actually Do?
When you repost a TikTok video, it gets sent to your followers’ For You pages — but it does NOT appear on your profile grid. Your followers may see the video recommended to them, credited to the original creator. Think of it as a recommendation rather than a reshare on your profile.
How to Repost on TikTok (Step-by-Step)
- Open TikTok and find the video you want to repost.
- Tap the Share arrow icon on the right side of the screen (or swipe left on the video).
- In the share menu that appears, tap Repost.
- The video will be shared to your followers’ feeds immediately. You’ll see a confirmation message at the bottom of the screen.
That’s it — no caption needed, no edits. The repost is instant.
How to Undo a Repost on TikTok
Changed your mind? You can remove a repost:
- Find the same video you reposted.
- Tap the Share arrow again.
- You’ll see a Remove Repost option — tap it.
- The repost will be undone immediately.
Can You See Your Reposts on Your TikTok Profile?
No — reposts don’t appear on your profile grid or in your video tab. They only show up in your followers’ feeds. TikTok has been testing a “Reposts” tab on profiles for some users, but it’s not yet widely available. For now, there’s no public-facing record of what you’ve reposted.
When Should You Repost on TikTok?
Do repost when: You want to support a creator in your niche, the content aligns with your brand or audience interests, or you want to stay active on days when you’re not posting original content.
Don’t repost when: The content contradicts your niche or brand values, you’re trying to fill your profile grid (reposts don’t appear there), or you’re sharing competitor content that might redirect your audience.
Reposting vs. Duets vs. Stitches — What’s the Difference?
- Repost: Shares the video to followers’ feeds. No editing. Doesn’t appear on your profile.
- Duet: Creates a side-by-side video with the original. Appears on your profile. Great for reactions and commentary.
- Stitch: Clips part of the original video and adds your own response. Appears on your profile. Best for adding context or a point of view.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does reposting on TikTok notify the original creator?
Yes, the original creator typically gets a notification that their video was reposted.
Can anyone see that I reposted a TikTok?
Your followers may see the video recommended in their feed. It’s not prominently labeled as a repost from you in all contexts, though TikTok shows repost attribution in some feed placements.
Does reposting help your TikTok account grow?
Not directly. Reposts don’t add to your profile content or boost your own analytics. For growth, focus on original content and engagement.
Is there a limit to how many TikToks I can repost?
TikTok hasn’t published an official daily repost limit. Avoid excessive reposting as it may feel spammy to your followers.
Why don’t I see the Repost button on TikTok?
Make sure your app is updated to the latest version. If you still don’t see it, the feature may not yet be available in your region.
