What happens when you accidentally press repost on TikTok?

When you accidentally press the repost button on TikTok, the video you’re viewing will be shared with your followers on your own profile. This feature can be useful if you enjoy a video and want to share it with your audience, but it can also be a source of frustration if you didn’t intend to repost it in the first place. However, TikTok provides a simple way to undo a repost and remove the video from your profile.

To reverse your decision and remove a video you accidentally reposted, follow these steps:

1. After tapping the repost button, the video will be shared on your profile. You can add a caption to the video if you’d like, but make sure you don’t publish it just yet.

2. If you realize that you made a mistake and want to undo the repost, tap the ‘Share’ button once more. This will bring up the sharing options for the video.

3. In the sharing options, you’ll find the ‘Remove Repost’ button in the same place where the repost button was located. Tap on this button to remove the video from your profile.

4. After tapping ‘Remove Repost’, the video will no longer be visible on your profile and will not be shared with your followers. It’s as if the repost never happened.

By providing this ‘Remove Repost’ option, TikTok makes it easy for users to correct their mistakes and maintain control over the content they share on their profiles. It’s a simple process that can save you from any potential embarrassment or unwanted posts.

It’s worth noting that the ‘Remove Repost’ button is only available immediately after you tap the ‘Share’ button to repost the video. Once you navigate away from the sharing options or publish the video with a caption, you won’t be able to undo the repost directly. In such cases, you would need to manually delete the video from your profile if you wish to remove it.
