How to See How Many Reposts You Have on TikTok

Ever posted a TikTok video you were truly proud of, only to wonder if it was actually connecting with people? Likes are nice and comments are great, but the repost is one of the strongest signals that your content truly hit the mark. This guide will show you precisely how to see how many reposts you have on TikTok, explain why this metric is so important for growth, and give you actionable tips to get more of them.

What Is a Repost, and Why Does It Matter?

On TikTok, a repost isn't the same as a share. When someone shares your video, they might send it to a friend in a direct message, text it to someone, or post a link to another platform. It's a direct, often private, recommendation.

A repost is a public endorsement. When a user hits the yellow "Repost" button on your video, they are effectively adding it to their friends' For You pages with a note that says "[Friend's Name] reposted." It's like co-signing your content and telling the world, "This is good. You should see this, too."

Tracking your reposts is a powerful way to understand what resonates most deeply with your audience. Think of it as a hierarchy of engagement:

• A Like means: "I enjoyed this."
• A Comment means: "I have something to say about this."
• A Save means: "I want to come back to this."
• A Repost means: "My own followers need to see this. This video represents me."

Each repost tells the TikTok algorithm that your video has high value, which can dramatically boost its reach and help you connect with new viewers. It's one of the clearest indicators that you've created content people genuinely want to champion.

Method 1: The Direct Way to Check Reposts on a Video

The most straightforward way to see your repost count doesn't involve digging through complex analytics dashboards. TikTok often shows you a direct notification right where the conversation happens: the comments section.

Here's how to find it step-by-step:

1. Open the TikTok App: Go to your profile page by tapping the "Profile" icon in the bottom-right corner.
2. Select Your Video: Scroll through your grid and tap on the video you want to check.
3. Open the Comments Section: On the right-hand menu, tap the speech bubble icon to open the comments.
4. Look for the Notification: If your video has been reposted, you'll often see a system notification at the very top of the comments, right above the first user comment. It will say something like, "[Number] people reposted this video." For example, "82 people reposted this video."

This is the most direct count of reposts you can get. However, keep in mind this notification can sometimes disappear over time or might not be visible on every single video, especially older ones. If you don't see it, it doesn't necessarily mean you have zero reposts, it might just mean the notification isn't being displayed at that moment.

Method 2: Using TikTok Analytics to Understand "Shareability"

What if you want a broader look at how your content is performing? While TikTok's built-in analytics dashboard doesn't have a specific metric labeled "Reposts," it offers the next best thing: "Shares." As we discussed, reposts are a type of public share, and the total share count provides invaluable context about your content's overall resonance.

First, Switch to a Creator or Business Account

To access analytics, you first need to enable either a Creator or Business Account. If you're still on a Personal Account, don't worry - switching is free, easy, and gives you access to a ton of useful data.

1. Navigate to your Profile.
2. Tap the three-line menu (hamburger icon) in the top-right corner.
3. Go to Settings and privacy > Account.
4. Tap Switch to Business Account or Switch to Creator Account and follow the on-screen prompts. Creator accounts are generally best for influencers and individual personalities, while Business accounts offer more commercial features.

How to Check Your Share Count in Analytics

Once you have a Creator or Business account, you can start digging into the data to see which videos your audience loves to distribute.

1. Access Your Tools: Go back to the three-line menu on your profile and select Creator Tools or Business Suite.
2. Open Analytics: Tap on the Analytics option.
3. Go to the Content Tab: At the top of the Analytics dashboard, you'll see tabs like "Overview," "Content," "Followers," and "LIVE." Tap on Content.
4. Analyze Individual Videos: In the "Video posts" section, you'll see your most recent videos. Tap on any video to see its detailed performance statistics.
5. Find the Share Count: On the video performance page, you'll see key metrics like views, likes, comments, saves, and shares. This is your number. This number includes every type of share: reposts, DMs, texts, copies of the link, and posts to other apps.

While this isn't a pure repost count, a high number of shares almost always correlates with a high number of reposts. It tells you which videos struck a chord so powerful that viewers felt compelled to pass them on. Cross-reference this number with the "Reposted" notification in a video's comment section to get the full picture of its performance.

Troubleshooting: Why Can't I See My Reposts?

Running into trouble? You're not alone. Here are a few common reasons why you might not be able to find your repost information:

• Your Video Hasn't Been Reposted Yet: It's the simplest explanation. Not every video earns a repost, especially when you're just starting out. Use it as motivation and focus on creating "repostable" content (more on that below).
• The Notification Disappeared: The "people reposted" message in the comments section isn't always permanent. It's a dynamic notification that can come and go. Don't panic if you saw it yesterday and don't see it today.
• The App Needs an Update: TikTok is constantly changing. A missing feature can sometimes be solved by simply heading to the App Store or Google Play Store and updating your TikTok app to the latest version.
• Temporary Glitches: Sometimes technology just acts weird. If things feel off, try clearing your app's cache (in Settings and privacy > Free up space) or restarting your phone.

How to Get More Reposts on Your TikTok Videos

Seeing your repost count is one thing, increasing it is another. Shifting your mindset from creating content that gets views to creating content that earns endorsements is a game-changer for organic growth. Here are some strategies to make your content more repostable.

1. Create Highly Relatable "This Is So Me" Content

People repost things that reflect their own identity, experiences, or sense of humor. Create videos that make viewers think, "This is literally me." This could be a funny skit about the struggles of working from home, a heartfelt video about a universal feeling, or a niche observation about a shared hobby. If a video feels personal to someone, they're far more likely to share it as a form of self-expression.

2. Make Your Opinion Clear (and Repostable)

Neutral content gets scrolled past. Content with a clear, relatable point of view gets reposted. Take a stance on something fun and low-stakes. It could be a controversial food opinion ("Pineapple on pizza is genius, actually"), a hot take on a movie, or a strong belief related to your niche. When people strongly agree with you, they'll hit the repost button as a badge of honor to show they're on the same team.

3. Provide Obvious Value That Makes Viewers Look Smart

People love to share content that makes them look helpful, smart, or in-the-know. This can include:

• A genuinely useful life hack they've never seen before.
• An eye-opening piece of information from your industry.
• A tutorial that solves a common problem.
• A recommendation for a book, tool, or product that is genuinely life-changing.

When you arm your viewer with valuable information, they'll want to share that value with their network.

4. Don't Be Afraid to Ask for It

Sometimes, the direct approach is the most effective. A simple call-to-action can push viewers who are on the fence to take action. Try ending your video with a quick-hit prompt like:

• "Repost this if you agree!"
• "Send This to Someone Who Needs to Hear It."
• On-screen text that reads: "Reposting this is my personality now."

Make the prompt fun and low-pressure. It guides your audience on exactly what to do next without sounding overly demanding.

Final Thoughts

Ultimately, checking your reposts is about moving beyond vanity metrics and understanding what truly connects. You can find the exact number in your comments section for quick feedback, or analyze the broader "Shares" metric in your analytics for strategic insights. Either way, this number is a powerful compass guiding you toward creating more resonant, effective content.
