TikTok is undoubtedly one of the best social media platforms for creating, uploading, sharing, and discovering short video content. TikTok became very popular, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. The platform received a colossal boost of more than 300 million users. Today, everyone knows about TikTok.
TokTok has released new features to accommodate this vast change, making this platform more straightforward and accessible. One of the features TikTok has introduced to accomplish this is the Repost feature.
TikTok’s repost feature makes sharing content from one feed to another effortless. However, keeping track of the reposted videos has been a problem for many users, as there has been no dedicated tab or section for reposts up until now.
Many users have requested clarification on how to view their reposts on TikTok. In this article, I will answer this question as well as discuss who can see your reposts and how to delete them.
How to see What You Reposted on TikTok
If you want to see what you repost, you first need to know where your reposted videos appear. Here is a list of places where your reposted videos appear:
- The Reposts Tab
- Your Watch History
See What you Reposted via The Reposts Tab
To see what you reposted via the reposts tab, follow these steps:
- Open TikTok on your device and go to your profile.
- Under the user-bio, tap on the Reposts Tab icon. It looks exactly like the retweet icon and consists of two arrows moving in tandem.
- After you open the reposts tab, you will be able to see all the videos you reposted.
Note: The reposts tab by default stays hidden, so it is not accessible unless you repost a video at least once. After you repost a video, the reposts tab will appear and stay there, even if you remove your repost.
Thanks to the reposts tab, users can now locate all of their reposts in one place and make necessary amendments. This makes the reposting experience a whole lot easier.
Things you should know
- The reposts tab does not appear on the web version of TikTok.
- If you want to see what your friends have reposted, you can visit their profile and check their reposts tab.
- TikTok hasn’t announced the official name of the reposts tab, at least not as of now. That means the official name of the tab is still unknown. But for the sake of ease, I am referring to the new tab as the Reposts Tab.

See What you Repoted via Your Watch History
Fortunately, like YouTube, TikTok also lets you keep track of your watch history. So users can find their reposted videos in their watch history as well. Here’s how to do it.
- Open TikTok on your device and navigate to your profile.
- Tap on the three horizontal lines in the top-right corner of your profile. A menu will appear.
- Tap on Settings and Privacy.
- Scroll down a bit. Tap on the activity center.
- Now tap on Watch History.
- Here you will see all of the videos that you have watched. Your reposts will be mixed in with this list. You can scroll down and find the videos you reposted.
In watch history, there is no indication of reposted video, so in case you forget which video you reposted, you’ll have to find it manually. By using this method, you can find all the videos you reposted.
How to Undo a Repost on TikTok
Sometimes, you can do a repost mistakenly. Users who are new to this feature often end up doing so. Other times, you may take back your decision and want to undo a repost on TikTok.
Whatever the case, it is a good thing you can undo a repost on TikTok, and it is also straightforward to do. Here’s how to do it.
- Locate the video you reposted.
- Tap on the Share button or tap and hold on the video. A menu will appear.
- If you have reposted the video before, you can see the Remove repost option instead of the Repost option.
- Tap on the Remove repost option to undo that repost on TikTok.
After following these steps, the reposted video will be removed.
Who can see my Reposts on TikTok?
All the videos you repost appear in your followers’ FOR YOU feed. So, only your friends can see your reposts. Other people cannot see them. Instead of sharing the video with your friends manually, you can just repost it, and they will be able to watch it when they are online.
If you would like to share a video only with some specific friends, you can use the Share button instead. Because reposting a video means sharing it with all of your friends.
Things you should know
- Only you and your friends can see your reposts tab.
- Your reposted videos appear on your friends’ For You pages, so they can watch them.
- Your friends may or may not be able to watch the videos you repost if they don’t scroll down enough to discover your reposted video.
- When you repost someone’s video, they are not notified.
Conclusion
TikTok users can see their reposted videos in the reposts tab. The reposts tab appears in your profile once you repost a video on TikTok successfully. The reposts tab does not appear on the web version of TikTok.
The content you repost is only visible to yourself and your friends, and they can view what you repost in your profile via the repost tab and in the For You feed. Other people cannot see your reposted content.
Users can also review their reposted content through their watch history on TikTok, which can be found in TikTok’s settings. However, in the user’s watch history, there is no indication of which videos are reposted and which are not.
