TikTok’s “Repost” feature makes it easy for users to share videos from other creators with their followers. While it can be helpful for discovering new content, it can also clutter your For You Page — especially when someone reposts too often. The good news is that TikTok allows you to mute reposts from specific users without unfollowing or blocking them.
If you want to reduce the noise on your feed, here is a simple and detailed guide on how to mute someone’s repost on TikTok.
Can You Mute Someone’s Repost on TikTok?
Yes. TikTok lets you hide or mute reposts from individual accounts so their shared videos do not appear on your For You Page. This action only applies to reposts — you will still see their original content.
TikTok calls this option “See fewer reposts from this user” or “Hide reposts from this user.”
How to Mute Someone’s Repost on TikTok
- Open TikTok
Launch the TikTok app on your iPhone or Android device and make sure you’re logged in.
- Find a Repost From the User
Scroll through your For You Page until you spot a video they reposted. You’ll know it’s a repost if you see the yellow “Reposted by…” text above the caption.
- Press and Hold on the Video
Tap and hold the video screen to open TikTok’s quick action menu.
- Select “Not Interested”
A few options will appear — choose “Not Interested.”
- Tap “More”
After selecting “Not Interested,” TikTok will offer additional controls. Tap “More” (sometimes labeled “Preferences”).
- Choose “Hide Reposts From This User”
Select “Hide reposts from this user” or “See fewer reposts like this.”
TikTok will instantly stop showing reposts from that account on your For You Page. You can still follow them and watch their regular videos as usual.
How to Unmute Someone’s Repost Later
If you ever change your mind, you can reverse the action:
- Go to your Profile and tap the menu (three lines) in the top-right corner.
- Open Settings and Privacy.
- Tap Content Preferences or Privacy (wording may differ slightly by region).
- Select Not Interested / Hidden Videos.
- Find the account and remove the restriction.
Once unmuted, their reposts will reappear on your For You Page again.
Alternative Ways to Control Reposts on Your Feed
Limit Reposts Altogether
You can also tell TikTok to show you fewer reposts in general:
- Tap and hold any repost.
- Select “Not Interested.”
- Choose “See fewer reposts.”
Unfollow or Restrict the User
If the user posts or reposts too much, you can also consider:
- Unfollowing them
- Restricting their interactions
- Blocking them (for extreme cases)
Why Muting Reposts Helps
Muting reposts improves your TikTok experience by:
- Keeping your feed cleaner
- Reducing unwanted or repetitive content
- Ensuring you see more original videos
- Maintaining your follow relationships without confrontation
This feature is perfect for users who enjoy someone’s content but don’t want to see everything they choose to repost.
