How to Repost on TikTok in 2026 (and How to Undo It)

Found a clip you want your followers to see? TikTok's Repost button lets you pass it along in a single tap — a bit like retweeting. It's quick, but it also works differently from posting to your own profile, and plenty of people can't find the button or aren't sure how to undo it. This guide covers how to repost on TikTok, how to remove a repost, where reposts actually show up, and how reposting compares to sharing, Duets, and Stitches.

What reposting actually does

Reposting is a public recommendation. When you repost, TikTok can surface that video to people who follow you, tagged with a small note that you reposted it. What it is not: it doesn't copy the video onto your own profile grid, it doesn't make you the creator, and it doesn't download anything. Think of it as boosting someone else's video to your audience rather than publishing your own.

How to repost a video (app)

1. Open the video you want to share.
2. Tap the Share arrow (the curved arrow on the right-hand side).
3. Tap Repost — it's usually the first option in the share row.
4. If your version supports it, add a short note or thought, then confirm.

That's it. The video is now recommended to your followers with your repost attached.

How to remove or undo a repost

Changed your mind? Reposting is fully reversible:

1. Open the same video you reposted.
2. Tap the Share arrow again.
3. Tap Remove repost (the button toggles once you've reposted).

Once removed, it stops being recommended to your followers as your repost.

Where do reposts show up?

Reposts appear in your followers' For You feeds, labeled as reposted by you — not on the public videos grid of your profile. So your profile still only shows content you actually created. Because it's shown to your followers, reposting isn't a private action: the original creator and your followers can tell you shared it.

Repost vs. share vs. Duet vs. Stitch

• Repost — recommends the original video to your followers, unchanged. No new video of your own.
• Share — sends the video to specific people (via DM or another app) or copies the link. More private than a repost.
• Duet — creates a new video with your reaction playing side by side with the original.
• Stitch — clips a piece of the original into the start of your own new video.

Use Repost to amplify, Share to send privately, and Duet/Stitch when you want to add your own creative spin.

Reposting your own content

People often mean two different things here. If you want to re-recommend your own video to your followers, you can repost it the same way. But if you're thinking of deleting an old post and re-uploading it hoping for more reach, that generally doesn't help — TikTok keeps re-testing existing videos anyway. If you do want to reuse a clip somewhere, work from a clean source: you can download your TikTok videos without a watermark first. For more on why re-uploading rarely pays off, see our guide on going viral on TikTok.

Can you repost on a computer?

The Repost feature is most reliable in the phone app. On the web, the share options can be more limited depending on your account and region, so if you don't see a repost option in the browser, use the app.

No repost button? Troubleshooting

• Update the app. The feature rolls out in waves and older versions may not have it.
• The creator disabled it. Some accounts turn off sharing options, which can hide repost for their videos.
• Region differences. Availability varies by country and account type.
• It won't undo. Reopen the exact video you reposted and use the share menu again; a quick app restart usually fixes a stuck button.

Frequently asked questions

Does reposting show up on my profile?

No. Reposts are recommended to your followers' feeds, but they don't appear on your public videos grid. Your profile keeps showing only what you've created.

Does the creator know I reposted their video?

Reposting is a public share, so it's not hidden. The creator and your followers can see that you passed the video along.

How do I undo a repost?

Open the video, tap the Share arrow, and choose Remove repost. It stops being recommended as your repost right away.

Is reposting the same as sharing?

Not quite. Reposting recommends a video to your followers on TikTok; sharing sends it to specific people or copies a link. Reposting is broader and more public.

Can I repost more than one video?

Yes, there's no single-repost limit — you can repost as many videos as you like, and remove any of them the same way whenever you want.

The bottom line

Reposting on TikTok is a one-tap way to put a video you love in front of your followers: Share arrow → Repost, and Share arrow → Remove repost to undo. It lives in your followers' feeds rather than on your profile, and it's public, so only repost things you're happy to be associated with. For adding your own take instead, reach for a Duet or Stitch.
