How to Turn Off Reposts on TikTok

TikTok’s repost feature makes it easy to share content with your followers — but not everyone wants their feed cluttered with reposts, or to accidentally repost something themselves. Whether you're trying to clean up your "For You" page or simply prefer a more curated experience, turning off reposts on TikTok is a simple process.

Here’s how to do it.

📌 What Are Reposts on TikTok?

The repost button on TikTok (similar to a retweet on X/Twitter) allows users to share someone else's video with their followers. When you repost a video:

• It won’t appear on your profile.

• It will be shown to people who follow you.

• Your username will be associated with the repost.

This feature can be helpful — but if you’ve ever accidentally reposted something or just don’t want reposts taking over your feed, you’re not alone.

🔧 How to Turn Off Reposts on TikTok

Here’s how you can disable the repost feature completely:

📝 Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Open the TikTok app and go to your profile.

2. Tap the three-line menu (☰) in the top right corner.

3. Select “Settings and privacy.”

4. Scroll down to the “Interactions” section.

5. Tap on “Repost.”

6. Toggle “Show Reposts” off.

Once this is disabled, you’ll no longer see reposted videos from others in your feed — and you’ll also lose the ability to repost content yourself.

🤔 Can You Undo a Repost?

Yes! If you’ve reposted something by accident, here’s how to remove it:

• Find the video you reposted (usually in your feed).

• Tap the share (arrow) icon again.

• Tap the “Remove Repost” button.

It will disappear from your followers' feeds and unlink your username from that video.

📱 Why You Might Want to Turn Off Reposts

Here are a few common reasons users choose to disable reposts:

• To keep their feed cleaner and more original

• To avoid accidentally sharing videos

• To better control what they engage with publicly

• To remove reposted content from their For You Page

Final Thoughts

The repost feature is convenient — but it’s not for everyone. Whether you’re trying to cut down on noise in your feed or maintain a more personal content space, TikTok gives you the flexibility to turn reposts off whenever you like.

With just a few taps, you’re back in control of your TikTok experience.
