What is what does it mean to repost on tiktok?

Reposting on TikTok means sharing a video you found on the platform with your own followers. It's a way to amplify content you enjoy and let your friends see it. The feature is designed to be a simple way to show support for a creator or start a conversation around a particular video.

Here's a breakdown:

  • What it does: When you repost a TikTok, it appears on the "For You" pages of your followers. It doesn't show up on your own profile page.
  • How it works: You'll usually find a "Repost" button (often looking like an arrow or a curved arrow) on the share menu of the TikTok video. Tapping this button will typically repost the video.
  • Visibility: Only mutual followers (people who follow you and whom you follow back) will see your reposts directly in their "For You" feed.
  • Adding a comment: Some repost features allow you to add a comment or your opinion when reposting a video. This can encourage engagement from your followers.
  • Privacy Considerations: Keep in mind that reposting shares content widely. Be mindful of privacy settings and the content of the video before you repost it.
