Many TikTok users have found themselves tapping the ‘Repost’ button on a video by mistake. But how do you delete a repost on TikTok? Here’s everything to know.
Thousands of videos are posted to TikTok every day, and millions of users are constantly interacting with the breadth of content available across the short-form video platform.
One feature that has become increasingly popular on the app is the ‘Repost’ function. This allows users to re-share a clip uploaded by someone else, and while it won’t appear on your profile, it will appear on your friends’ For You Pages.
However, due to the button’s proximity to other functions in the share menu, there’s a chance you may accidentally repost a video without meaning to. You may also just change your mind about something you’ve reposted. Fortunately, deleting a repost is pretty simple once you know how.
TikTok is one of the world’s leading social media platforms.

To do so, simply follow these instructions:
- Go to the video that you reposted.
- Click on the share menu on the right side of the video (the button that looks like an arrow.)
- Press the ‘Remove repost’ button.
- Confirm the removal of the repost when the pop-up appears.
This makes it super easy to change your mind if you decide you want to undo your repost, but it’s worth bearing in mind that the longer you leave it after reposting, the higher the chances are that someone will have already seen it.

This article explains how to unrepost on TikTok. The instructions apply to the TikTok mobile app for Android and iOS.
How to Delete a Repost on TikTok
The first step is to find the reposted video, which can be challenging since there’s no way to see all your reposted videos on TikTok. If you didn’t save it in your Favorites, look in your watch history or use the search feature to find it, then follow these steps:
- Select the video you want to unrepost so that it starts playing.
Tap Remove Repost. You should see a confirmation message at the top of the screen.
You can only delete reposted videos using the TikTok app. There’s no option to undo reposts when watching TikTok in a web browser.
What Happens When You Unrepost a TikTok?
Videos you repost are more likely to appear in your followers’ feeds. So, when you undo a repost on TikTok, the video will no longer be in their feeds unless they stumble upon it organically.
Deleting a repost doesn’t delete the original video. Only your repost is removed. You won’t see how many likes and comments your repost got, but the original video will retain your followers’ likes and comments.
How Do I Repost Videos on TikTok?
If you want to repost a TikTok video to feature prominently in your followers’ feeds, tap Share (the arrow) on the right side of the video, then tap Repost. You’ll know it worked if Repost turns into Remove repost.
Consider adding a comment to the video after reposting it to give your friends something to respond to.
How Do I Find My Reposted Videos?
There are a few ways to find videos you’ve reposted. If you bookmarked the reposted video, go to your Profile and tap the Bookmark icon to find it.
To browse through your previously watched videos, go to your Profile > Menu (the three lines) > Settings and privacy > Comment and watch history > Watch history.
To search for videos you’ve previously watched, enter a keyword related to the video (the title, creator, topic, etc.), then tap the Filters icon and select Watched.
