TikTok’s ‘Repost’ feature allows you to share your favorite videos with your followers — here’s everything you need to know about how to use it.
Clips on TikTok can range from just a few seconds right up to 10 minutes, but all can spread like wildfire with the app’s algorithm, which helps get some videos millions of likes and views.
In 2022, the app added a ‘repost’ button which allows users to share the videos they like the most with their followers.
Here’s everything you need to know about the ‘repost’ feature on TikTok.
What is TikTok’s repost button?
Simply put, TikTok’s repost feature is a quick way to share any video you find with your friends and followers.
Similar to other social media sites, instead of claiming ownership of the content by publishing it on your account, you’re simply relaying it to your followers through your account.
Reposting will still show the original owner of the TikTok, but it will be available to your followers on your page.

Did TikTok remove the repost button?
Back in May 2022, many users began to report that they no longer had access to the repost button on TikTok, and that it had disappeared from the app altogether. Some were dismayed to see the feature go, as it had proven to be relatively popular with many users.
Is it just me or is the TikTok repost button disappeared?????

However, When TikTok initially started introducing the feature at the end of 2021 and the start of 2022, it appeared to only be in a testing period originally. This may explain the reports that the feature was disappearing from the app, however, TikTok has not officially confirmed this.
Regardless, it now seems as though it’s here to stay.
