How to Undo a Repost

On TikTok, when someone reposts your video, they are sharing it with their audience. It is a great way to share content you love and boost your favorite creators. However, if you don't want people to be able to repost your videos, some users can disable reposts. This wikiHow article teaches you where you can find this feature if you have it. We will also tell you if it's possible to stop seeing reposts on your For You Page.

Things You Should Know

To turn off reposts on TikTok, go to ☰ > Settings and privacy > Privacy > Repost, then tap the toggle switch.
Not everyone has the option to disable reposts.
To stop seeing notifications of reposts, go to ☰ > Settings and privacy > Notifications > and tap the toggle switch next to "Reposts."

- Tap the Profile icon in the lower-right corner.
- Tap ☰ in the upper-right corner.
- Tap Settings and privacy .
- Tap Privacy
- Tap Repost
- Tap the toggle switch to turn Reposts off.

Unfortunately, there's no way to remove reposts from your For You Page. The videos you see on your FYP are algorithmically generated, and you can't tell TikTok to stop showing you reposts. However, if too many reposts are showing up on your FYP, resetting your algorithm can prevent you from seeing as many reposts. To reset your algorithm:
- Tap the Profile icon in the lower-right corner.
- Tap ☰ in the upper-right corner.
- Tap Settings and privacy .
- Tap Content preferences .
- Tap Refresh your For You feed .
- Tap Continue .

Open your reposts. If you accidentally reposted a video, you can unrepost it . First, go to your reposts by tapping the profile icon and then tapping the two arrows in the shape of a square.
- You can also find videos you've reposted in your watch history .
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/3\/37\/Turn-Off-Repost-on-Tiktok-Step-9.jpg\/v4-460px-Turn-Off-Repost-on-Tiktok-Step-9.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/3\/37\/Turn-Off-Repost-on-Tiktok-Step-9.jpg\/v4-728px-Turn-Off-Repost-on-Tiktok-Step-9.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

It's the curved arrow icon on the right side of the video.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/b\/ba\/Turn-Off-Repost-on-Tiktok-Step-10.jpg\/v4-460px-Turn-Off-Repost-on-Tiktok-Step-10.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/b\/ba\/Turn-Off-Repost-on-Tiktok-Step-10.jpg\/v4-728px-Turn-Off-Repost-on-Tiktok-Step-10.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
