How to Check Reposts on TikTok

Seeing who reposted your video on TikTok used to be a mystery, but a recent update changed the game completely. You can now see a list of users who've shared your content, giving you a powerful new way to understand what's resonating with your audience. This guide breaks down exactly how to check your reposts, how to view your own repost history, and how to use this feature to build a smarter content strategy.

Understanding TikTok's Repost Feature

First, let's clarify what a repost actually is. Think of it as TikTok's version of a retweet on X or a share on Facebook, but with a unique twist. When a user reposts your video, they are pushing it onto the 'For You' pages of their own followers. It’s a way for them to co-sign your content and say, "Hey everyone, you should see this," without having to Duet, Stitch, or download and re-upload the video themselves.

Unlike a Stitch or Duet, a repost doesn’t add any new content. The user doesn’t appear on camera or add their own audio over yours, they simply amplify your original video. A small "reposted" tag with their username appears on the video for their followers. For creators, this is fantastic. It’s a low-effort, high-impact way for your fans to spread your work organically across the platform, introducing your videos to new audiences you might not have reached otherwise.

How to Check Who Reposted Your TikTok Video

Getting a list of who reposted your work is surprisingly easy once you know where to look. This information allows you to see exactly which users are championing your content. Follow these simple steps to find your list of reposters.

• Step 1: Go to Your Profile: Open the TikTok app and navigate to your main profile page by tapping the "Profile" icon in the bottom-right corner.
• Step 2: Select Your Video: Scroll through your videos and tap on the one you want to investigate.
• Step 3: Check the Comments Section: Once the video opens, tap on the "Comments" icon on the right side of the screen.
• Step 4: Find the Repost Notification: At the top of the comments feed, look for a notification line that reads something like, "[Username] and others reposted this video." The exact wording might vary, but it will clearly indicate that the video has been reposted by multiple people. The number of reposts will also be listed there.
• Step 5: Tap to See the List: Simply tap on that line of text. TikTok will open a new screen displaying a list of the public accounts that have reposted your video. You can scroll through this list and even tap on profiles to learn more about your biggest supporters.

Note: If you don't see this notification, it could mean one of three things: no one has reposted that specific video yet, the people who did have private accounts, or the feature is still rolling out and hasn't shown up on that video's data yet.

How to See Your Repost History (Videos You've Reposted)

Ever repost a video and then completely forget what it was? Maybe you want to find that hilarious clip from last week or undo a repost you did by accident. TikTok has a dedicated tab for that right on your profile.

Here’s how to find the feed of every video you've ever reposted:

• Step 1: Navigate to Your Profile: Open TikTok and go to your profile page.
• Step 2: Find Your Profile Tabs: Below your bio, you'll see a series of icons that act as tabs for your content. You’ll see icons for your main video grid, your liked videos, and your private videos.
• Step 3: Tap the Repost Icon: Look for an icon with two arrows forming a circle. This is your repost tab. Tap on it.
• Step 4: Browse Your History: This tab displays a chronological feed of all the videos you have reposted, with the most recent ones at the top. You can scroll through this feed to rewatch videos, find creators you've supported, or remove a previous repost.

How to Undo a Repost

If you've reposted something by mistake or just changed your mind, reversing it is simple. Go to the video (either by finding it on the 'For You' page again or in your repost history tab), tap the 'Share' arrow, and you'll see a button that says "Remove repost." Tapping it will undo the action immediately.

Why Checking Reposts is a Game-Changer for Creators

This simple feature is much more than a vanity metric. Understanding who reposts your content - and which videos get reposted the most - provides strategic insights that can level up your entire TikTok game.

1. Identify Your True Superfans

Likes and comments are great, but a repost is a definitive endorsement. Someone who reposts your content is actively recommending it to their own network. Watching your repost lists helps you identify your most loyal and enthusiastic followers - your superfans.

Actionable Advice: Keep an eye out for users who consistently repost your videos. These people are your core community. Engage with them, follow them back, or drop a "thank you" in their comments. Building a relationship with these individuals can turn passive followers into active brand advocates.

2. Discover What Content Truly Connects

Views can be misleading, and likes can be a passive habit. Reposts, however, signal that your content was so good, helpful, or relatable that someone wanted to be associated with it. This is a powerful form of feedback.

Actionable Advice: Go through your top ten most-viewed videos and check the repost count for each. Is there a pattern? Perhaps your educational “how-to” videos get triple the reposts of your comedy sketches. This data tells you exactly what kind of content provides so much value that your audience feels compelled to share it. This is your cue to double down on that content pillar.

3. Guide Your Future Content Strategy

Use your repost analytics as a compass for what to create next. If a video about a specific niche topic within your field gets an unexpectedly high number of reposts, that's a signal from your audience that they want more of that.

Actionable Advice: Say you’re a photographer. A video you made about "3 common portrait lighting mistakes" gets 200 reposts, while a behind-the-scenes vlog of a photo shoot only gets 10. The market is telling you that they find your concise, problem-solving content highly shareable. Your next series of videos could be "3 simple camera settings for beginners" or "iPhone photography hacks," building on the format and topic that you know works.

4. Find Potential Collaborators and Brand Ambassadors

The list of people who repost your videos is a goldmine of potential partners. These are people who already like and trust your brand or personal profile enough to share it with their own followers.

Actionable Advice: As you scroll through your repost list, keep an eye out for other creators in your niche or users with highly engaged followings of their own. If someone who fits your brand's audience profile reposts your work, consider reaching out to them for a potential collaboration. It’s a much warmer opening than a completely cold DM.

What to Do if You Can't See Who Reposted Your Video

If you're having trouble finding the feature, don't worry. It's usually due to one of a few common reasons. Before getting frustrated, run through this quick checklist.

Update Your App

The number one reason for missing a new feature is an outdated app. Head to the App Store or Google Play Store and check if you have the latest version of TikTok installed. App developers roll out new features incrementally, and they are almost always tied to the newest update.

User Privacy Settings

Not all reposts will appear in a public list. If a user has a private account, their activity, including reposts, will not be visible to you unless you follow them. Additionally, TikTok respects privacy, so not every single repost action is necessarily made public fodder. You are only seeing a list of public actions from public accounts.

Give It Time

If you've just posted a video, it probably hasn't had enough time to gather any reposts. Be patient! Also, with any major new feature rollout, there can be bugs or delays. What you see on your account might be slightly different from what another user sees until the update is fully stabilized across the globe.

Final Thoughts

Checking who reposted your TikToks and viewing your own repost history gives you an incredibly useful layer of data. By moving beyond simple views or likes, you can identify your most dedicated fans, pinpoint the exact content that deeply connects with your viewers, and make smarter, more informed decisions about your future videos.
