TikTok’s widely used repost feature not only enables users to share content with their followers but also has the potential to increase engagement and expand one’s audience, a fact that many are unaware of.
Videos on TikTok have the potential to go viral due to the platform’s algorithm, which can garner millions of likes and views for videos ranging from a few seconds to 10 minutes in length.
In 2022, the popular social media platform introduced a ‘Repost’ button that enables users to share their favorite videos with their followers.
What is TikTok’s repost button?
In essence, the repost feature on TikTok allows you to easily share any video you come across with your friends and followers.
Just like other social media platforms, instead of taking ownership of the content by posting it on your profile, you are sharing it with your followers through your account. When reposting, the original owner of the TikTok clip will still be credited, but the content will be visible to your followers on your page.
How to share videos on TikTok
If you wish to repost something on TikTok, simply adhere to these instructions:
- Launch TikTok.
- Locate the desired video that you wish to repost.
- Click on the share arrow located in the bottom right corner of the screen.
- On the top row of icons, click ‘Repost.’
With the addition of more shareable options on TikTok, one can anticipate discovering additional methods to engage with their preferred content creators.
Did TikTok remove the repost button?
In May 2022, numerous users started to notice that the repost button on TikTok was no longer available and had vanished from the app entirely. This change was met with disappointment by some, as the feature had gained considerable popularity among users.
Is it just me or is the TikTok repost button disappeared?????

Despite initial appearances, TikTok’s introduction of the feature at the end of 2021 and the start of 2022 was only in a testing phase. While there have been reports of the feature disappearing from the app, TikTok has yet to officially confirm this.
Despite the eventual reappearance of the repost button, several users reported in May 2024 that they were unable to repost or view previously reposted videos. As of now, TikTok has not issued any official statements regarding this issue.
