If you’re an avid TikTok user, you may have come across a video that you wanted to repost on your own profile. However, you might have found yourself scratching your head and wondering how to do it. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! In this article, we’ll guide you through the process of reposting on TikTok, step by step.

Why Can’t You Repost on TikTok?

If you’re having trouble finding the repost button on TikTok, there are a few reasons why it might be missing. Let’s take a look at them:

• You need to update the app: Sometimes, the repost feature might not be available because you’re using an outdated version of the app. Take a trip to your app store and check for any available updates. Downloading and launching the latest version of TikTok should solve the problem.

• The feature isn’t available to you (yet): TikTok often rolls out new features gradually, and not everyone gets access to them at the same time. If you can’t find the repost button, it could be because it hasn’t been made available to your account. Keep checking back periodically to see if it’s been enabled for you.

• The creator doesn’t allow reposting: Some content creators disable the option to repost their videos. This means that others are not able to share their content. If you can’t repost a specific video, it’s likely because the creator has chosen not to allow it.

• Clearing your TikTok cache: Cached data is stored information that helps your phone process information more quickly. However, if the cached information becomes outdated, it can interfere with app functionality, including accessing the latest features. To clear the TikTok cache, you can uninstall and reinstall the app or follow these steps:

  1. Open the TikTok app and tap on your profile icon in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen.
  2. Select the three horizontal lines (the hamburger icon) at the top right of your profile.
  3. Tap “Settings and privacy.”
  4. In the “Cache & Cellular” section, click on “Free up space.”
  5. Tap the “Clear” button next to “Cache.”

How to Turn on Reposting

If you want others to repost your TikTok videos to drive traffic to your account and potentially grow your following, follow these simple steps:

1. Open the TikTok app and tap on your profile icon in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen.
2. Select the three horizontal lines (the hamburger icon) at the top right of your profile.
3. Tap “Settings and privacy.”
4. Scroll down and select “Repost.”
5. Switch the toggle to the on position.

How to Prevent Others from Reposting Your Content

On the other hand, if you prefer to keep your content exclusive to your own profile, you can disable the repost feature. Here’s how:

1. Open the TikTok app and tap on your profile icon in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen.
2. Select the three horizontal lines (the hamburger icon) at the top right of your profile.
3. Tap “Settings and privacy.”
4. Scroll down and select “Repost.”
5. Switch the toggle to the off position.

Other Ways to Share from the TikTok App

Reposting is just one way to share your favorite TikTok videos. If you come across a post and think a friend would enjoy it too, you can brighten their day by sharing the clip with them. Here are the options available within the TikTok app:

• SMS or WhatsApp: Select either of these options to send a message containing a link to the video and a cover photo automatically.

• Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter: Use the social media shortcut buttons to share the video on your other accounts or send it to friends via a direct message (DM).

• Email: Send a TikTok clip as an .MP4 file. TikTok will create the email for you and even write the subject line—all you need to do is input the recipient’s address.

• Direct message in-app: Share a video with friends or people you follow on TikTok by clicking on their profile photo at the top of the “Share” menu or searching for their username. To access the search bar, click “More” at the end of the line of profile icons.
