How to See What You Reposted on TikTok: A Definitive Guide

So, you’ve been on a TikTok spree, sharing content left and right, and now you’re wondering, “Where did all those reposts go?” Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Finding your reposted videos on TikTok isn’t immediately obvious, but it’s definitely possible. This guide will walk you through the process and address all your burning questions about managing your reposted TikTok content.

Accessing Your Reposted TikToks

The key to unlocking your reposted TikToks lies within the “Shared” tab, a feature introduced by TikTok to help users keep track of their shared content. Here’s the step-by-step breakdown:

1. Open the TikTok App: Ensure you’re logged into your TikTok account.
2. Navigate to Your Profile: Tap the “Profile” icon located in the bottom right corner of the screen. This will take you to your personal TikTok profile page.
3. Locate the “Reposts” Tab: Look for an icon that typically resembles two arrows forming a circular loop, often labeled as “Reposts” or something similar like “Shared”. This tab might be next to your “Liked” videos tab (the heart icon).
4. Explore Your Reposted Content: Tapping on the “Reposts” tab will display all the videos you’ve reposted. You can then scroll through and view the content you’ve shared with your followers.

It’s worth noting that this feature is relatively new. If you’re not seeing the “Reposts” or “Shared” tab, ensure your TikTok app is updated to the latest version. Outdated versions of the app might not have this functionality.

Troubleshooting: What if You Can’t See the “Reposts” Tab?

Sometimes, technology throws us a curveball. If you’re following the steps above and still can’t find the “Reposts” tab, here’s a quick troubleshooting guide:

• Update Your App: As mentioned before, the most common reason is an outdated app. Head to the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android) and check for updates.
• Clear App Cache: Sometimes, cached data can interfere with the app’s functionality. Go to your phone’s settings, find the TikTok app, and clear the cache. Be careful not to clear the data unless you’re sure you know your login credentials as this will log you out.
• Reinstall the App: As a last resort, try uninstalling and reinstalling the TikTok app. This ensures you have a fresh installation and eliminates any potentially corrupted files.
• Check TikTok’s Help Center: Visit the TikTok Help Center through the app (Settings and privacy > Report a problem) for information about known issues or bugs.
• Account Type: Very rarely this may have something to do with your account type. Check this in your settings. Ensure you do not have a restricted account.

Managing Your Reposts

Now that you know how to find your reposted TikToks, let’s talk about managing them. You can’t directly “unrepost” a video from the “Reposts” tab. To remove a repost, you need to:

1. Locate the Reposted Video: Find the video you want to remove from your reposts. You can do this by going to the video on your reposts or searching for it again on the main “For You” page.
2. Tap the “Share” Button: Press the “Share” button (the arrow icon) on the right side of the screen.
3. Tap “Remove Repost”: A menu will appear with various sharing options. Look for an option that says “Remove Repost”.
4. Confirm Removal: Tap “Remove Repost” to confirm your decision. The video will no longer be listed as a repost on your profile.
