1. Find the TikTok video you want to repost. You can do this by scrolling through your feed, or by searching for a specific video.
2. When you find the video you want to share, click on the “Share” button located below the video.
3. A new screen will pop up with sharing options. Select the yellow repost button from the list.
4. A confirmation message will appear, asking if you’re sure you want to repost the video. Click “Repost” again to confirm.
5. The reposted video will now be shared on your account and will appear in your feed.
Why Don’t I Have The Repost Option on TikTok?
If you’re trying to repost a video on TikTok but the option isn’t appearing, there could be a few different reasons why. These include:
- Being on the web version of TikTok instead of the app.
- Not being logged in to your TikTok account.
- The original content creator has set their account to private.
- You need to update TikTok as you’re using an out-of-date version of the app.
- You have internet connectivity issues.
The most likely explanation is that you’re not logged in to your account, or you’re using the web version of TikTok instead of the app. The repost feature only works on the mobile app, and for logged-in users.
Another possibility is that the person who originally posted the video has set their account to private, which means that only people who are following them can see their videos. If you’re not following the person, you won’t be able to repost their videos. If you unfollow them on TikTok, you will no longer be able to view their content.
If the repost option is still not showing, it could be that your TikTok app is out of date and needs to be updated.
How to Update The TikTok App
If you’re using an older version of TikTok, you might not have access to the latest features – like reposting. Updating the app is really easy, and only takes a few seconds. Just follow the steps below:
1. Open the App Store (for iOS devices) or Google Play Store (for Android devices).
2. Type “TikTok” into the search bar and press enter.
3. The TikTok app should be the first result. Tap “Update” to download the latest version.
4. Once the update has finished downloading, open TikTok and try reposting again.
Still Having Issues With Video Reposts on TikTok?
If you’re still having trouble, it might be due to your internet connection. Try connecting to Wi-Fi or another network and then try reposting the video again. If this is unsuccessful, you will need to troubleshoot your internet connection and try again when you’re back online.
If that doesn’t work, the best thing to do is to contact TikTok directly and report the problem. They should be able to help you figure out what’s going on and get the repost feature working again.
Controversy Around Reposted Videos on TikTok
Before you start reposting other people’s videos on TikTok, it’s important to be aware of the potential controversy that can come with it. Not everyone is in support of the TikTok repost button, and it’s easy to see why. Here are a few potential issues with the repost option on TikTok:
Reposting Without Credit
There have been several cases of people reposting videos without giving credit to the original creator, which has led to a lot of upset. This happens a lot with popular content. Before you repost a TikTok, make sure that you always give credit to the person who made the video, either in the caption or in the comments.
Reposting Without Permission
Another issue is that people have been reposting videos without getting permission from the original creator. This is a big no-no, and if you do it you could find yourself in hot water. Always ask for permission before you share content from someone’s account – regardless of whether you’re giving them credit or not.
Sharing Offensive Content
Finally, some people have been using the repost feature to share TikTok videos that contain offensive, derogatory, or inappropriate content. This is obviously not ok, and it’s something that TikTok is trying to crack down on. If you see a video that you think is inappropriate, make sure to report it to TikTok so they can take action.
What Should I Do if Somebody Shares My TikTok Video Without Permission?
If you find that someone has shared one of your videos without permission, the best thing to do is to reach out to them and ask them to take it down. If they don’t respond or they refuse to remove the video, you can report it to TikTok and they will deal with it.
It’s also a good idea to watermark your videos so that people can’t repost them without giving you credit. This is a simple way to protect your content and make sure that you get the credit you deserve.
Can I Save Reposted Videos?
If you want to save a video that you’ve reposted on TikTok, you can do so by downloading it to your device. To do this, go to the video in question and tap the “…” button in the bottom-right corner. From there, select “Download” and the video will be saved to your phone.
