The repost feature on TikTok has been around for a little while, and it’s a popular way to engage with your favorite videos and content creators on the app.

How to hide reposts on TikTok

There is currently no option to hide all your reposts from your followers. However, you can keep them private from people who don’t follow you by setting your account to private. Here’s how to do that:

  1. Head to your profile and click on the three horizontal lines.
  2. Tap on Settings and privacy and then press Privacy.
  3. Here you’ll be able to toggle the Private account option on, making your TikTok private and therefore hidden from non-followers.

If you want to hide TikTok reposts from one of your followers, then unfortunately your only option is to block them. By doing this, they can’t interact with any of your content, your profile, or message you.
