What is repost on TikTok?

The repost tool on TikTok makes it easier for users to share the content they like with their followers.

You can only repost videos from the For You page, not videos found on someone else’s profile or TikTok Discover.

It’s a hassle-free update that saves you from having to rip or duet someone’s video.

Many social media platforms like Instagram and Twitter have similar features, allowing users to share their content with others.

Before the update, TikTok allowed users to share videos with individual friends or group chats.

Now, the video will not appear on your profile, but your followers will still be able to watch.
