Nearly every social media app has a built-in way to repost content. This lets you share posts you love with friends, while still giving credit to the original poster.
TikTok just recently added their own reposting option, giving users a quick way to share their favorite videos with followers. Here’s how to use it.
Reposting a TikTok video makes it more likely to appear on your followers’ feeds, as if you were the one who posted it. It’ll still be credited to the original creator, but your profile picture will appear on it too.
These steps are the same on both iPhone and Android.
1. Open TikTok and find the video you want to repost.
2. While watching the video, tap the arrow icon in the bottom-right corner.
3. The Send to menu will open, filled with options for sharing and remixing the TikTok. Select the gold Repost option in the top-left.
If this is your first time reposting a TikTok, a small menu will appear explaining what reposting does. Move past this menu to complete the repost.
4. Once you’ve reposted the video, your profile picture will appear above the original uploader’s name, with a bubble that says +Add comment next to it. Tap this bubble to add a comment, which will appear with the reposted video whenever your followers see it.
If you ever want to undo the repost and make it disappear from your followers’ feeds, open the TikTok’s Send to menu again and tap Remove repost.
Quick tip: If you’re looking to repost TikTok videos on another website, like Twitter or Facebook, you can download most videos and post them there. Just be sure to give ample credit!
