The repost feature on TikTok is arguably one of the best features for organic growth. Not only does it enable followers to share your post with their own pool of followers, thereby extending the reach of your content, but it also gives content a chance to go viral.
Viral posts and trending challenges and videos are all started by a post which is reshared or reposted. As such, enabling this feature is one of the best ways of supporting your own growth.
Having said that, there are some occasions when you don’t want posts to be shared beyond your own audience. Which is when you might start to wonder how to turn the repost feature off…
Is it Possible to Turn Off Reposts?
Turning off reposts is not a feature that’s available to all users.
If the option to turn off reposts is not available to you, there are other things you can do to enhance your privacy on the platform. These include:
- Disabling downloads so that users cannot download and save your posts
- Switching your account to private, meaning only those who you approve can follow you
- Changing the privacy setting on individual posts, prior to sharing. This is done in the final editing screen and can help restrict your audience to just friends or followers.
How to Turn Off Reposts
If your account enables you to turn off reposts, then you can do so through your Privacy settings.
- Head to your profile page on TikTok and select the menu button in the top right hand corner
- Click on ‘Settings and Privacy’ then ‘Privacy’
- Select ‘Repost’ and turn off the toggle switch
Following these steps will prevent others from being able to share your content to their own audience.
We hope this helps you to personalise your TikTok experience and ensure that your content is only seen by those who you want to share your updates with.
