TikTok has quickly grown from a fun video-sharing app into one of the world’s leading platforms for short-form content. Among its many features is the repost function, which allows users to share other people’s videos with their own followers. This works similarly to a retweet on Twitter or a share on Facebook, helping creators reach wider audiences. But many users often wonder: how can I check who reposted my video on TikTok? This article breaks down everything you need to know about TikTok reposts — how to check if your content has been reposted, how to find videos you’ve reposted, and what limitations exist on repost visibility.
What Is a Repost on TikTok?
A repost on TikTok is when someone shares your video with their own followers by clicking the “Repost” button. The video appears on their followers’ “For You” feed with a note that it was shared by them, but it does not show up on their profile like a typical post.
This feature is useful for giving credit to creators while helping their content go viral through trusted networks.
Can You See Who Reposted Your TikTok Video?
As of now, TikTok does not allow users to see a list of people who have reposted their videos. While you may receive more views, likes, and comments due to a repost, the platform does not offer a direct way to identify who exactly shared your content.
However, there are a few workarounds and signals that may help you track engagement from reposts:
- Monitor Notifications
When someone reposts your video, TikTok may send a notification saying: “Someone reposted your video.” However, it won’t name the user. Sometimes, a repost is followed by new comments or likes from users outside your follower base, which can be a sign.
- Watch for New Engagement
If your video suddenly gets a spike in views, likes, or comments, especially from users you don’t follow, it may have been reposted. Reposts help spread your content to new audiences who might interact with your video.
- Check Duets and Stitches (If Enabled)
Although not the same as reposts, creators who love your content may duet or stitch your video — and TikTok does notify you about these. It’s a good idea to check the “Inbox” tab for such notifications.
How to See Videos You’ve Reposted
If you’re looking for the videos you have reposted on TikTok, follow these steps:
Step 1: Open the TikTok App
Launch TikTok and log in to your account.
Step 2: Go to Your Profile
Tap the “Profile” icon in the bottom-right corner of the screen.
Step 3: Tap the Repost Tab (Arrow Icon)
Under your profile bio, you’ll see tabs for “Videos,” “Private,” and, if you’ve reposted anything, a third tab with a double-arrow icon. This is the Repost tab, and it only appears if you have reposted content.
Step 4: View All Reposts
Tap the Repost tab to view all the videos you’ve reposted. From here, you can un-repost a video by clicking the share button again and selecting “Remove repost.”
How to Repost or Un-Repost a TikTok Video
If you want to repost a video:
- Find the video you want to share.
- Tap the “Share” arrow icon.
- Select “Repost” from the list.
- A yellow banner appears indicating the video was successfully reposted.
To remove a repost:
- Go back to the same video.
- Tap the “Share” icon again.
- Tap “Remove repost.”
Limitations of TikTok Repost Tracking
It’s important to understand that TikTok’s privacy policy limits visibility into who exactly is reposting your content. Unlike other platforms, TikTok prioritizes user anonymity in this feature. That means creators currently have no access to:
- A list of users who reposted their video
- Insights or analytics specific to reposts
- Comments specifically from repost viewers
