By reposting videos they find fascinating, users on TikTok may now effortlessly share and interact with content. Reposting content on TikTok is a terrific way to disseminate viral content, but because of the way the app is designed, it might be difficult to identify a certain user’s reposts. TikTok is still developing its features in 2024, so users will need to stay up to date on how to use the platform’s features. This is a thorough tutorial on seeing other people’s TikTok reposts.
KEYPOINT: Visit friends’ profiles or public ones. On the top tab, click each of the two round arrows. Your profile has been updated by TikTok, displaying a repost tab.
Is It Possible to View Someone’s Reposts Directly on TikTok?
Unlike a reposted content area, TikTok does not currently provide a function that allows users to browse all of their reposts in one convenient location as of 2024. Nevertheless, there are a few workarounds that can assist you in locating a certain user’s reposts:
After Their Action
Examining the ‘For You’ Page and Observing Their Remarks on Shared Content
Workaround1: Examine Their Behaviour
The app lets users know when they repost a TikTok by displaying it on the “For You” page. You may find yourself browsing TikTok and accidentally coming across some of the reposted content of the person whose reposts you wish to see if you follow them.
Steps:
- Go through your “For You” feed on TikTok after opening the app.
- Look out for videos that have a little notification with the words “Reposted by [Username]” underneath the caption.
- This is an easy way, but it relies on how often you scroll through your feed and how TikTok’s algorithm works.
Workaround 2: Using the ‘For You’ Page
You may still find the user’s reposts while perusing the main “For You” tab even if you are not following them. Occasionally, videos that have been reposted here bear the label “Reposted by [Username].” But because the “For You” page is algorithm-driven and might not always display information from that particular person, this approach can be hit or miss.
Advice: Take some time to peruse your “For You” page, as the algorithm can start displaying stuff that people you interact with frequently have shared.
Workaround 3: Look for Reposted Content in the Comments
On videos that they rebroadcast, some TikTok users provide comments. You may be able to determine which videos someone has reshared by looking through the comments section of uploaded videos, though this is not a guarantee.
Steps:
- Access the individual’s profile.
- Find the videos that they have liked or left comments on.
- Look for any comments they may have made indicating that they shared the article again.
The Reason TikTok Doesn’t (Yet) Have a Repost Section
There is a specific area on many social media sites, such as Instagram and Twitter, for content that has been shared again. The current TikTok format, however, aims to maintain a more natural approach to content discovery. The primary purpose of TikTok’s recent repost feature is to move material to the “For You” page, freeing up space on the user’s main profile.
In summary
There isn’t an official way to see a user’s whole TikTok repost history as of 2024. You can, however, get an idea of what others are reposting by utilising a combination of scrolling through your feed, keeping an eye out for repost notifications, and reading the comments on videos that have been reposted. Watch TikTok for updates, as the platform is always changing and may introduce new features for reposts in the future.
