How to See Reposts on TikTok: Yours, Someone Else’s, and Missing Tabs
Find your reposts tab, understand what other people may be able to see, and troubleshoot the TikTok profile layouts where reposts disappear.
To see reposts on TikTok, open a profile and look for the repost tab in the row of icons below the bio and follower counts. The icon usually looks like two arrows. If it is visible, tapping it shows the videos that account has reposted.
The confusing part is that TikTok does not show the same layout to every account all the time. Your own reposts, someone else’s reposts, and a missing repost tab can each behave a little differently. Use the checks below to avoid guessing.
How to see your own reposts on TikTok
- Open TikTok and go to your profile.
- Look under your bio, follower count, and profile buttons.
- Find the repost icon in the tab row. It is usually shown as two arrows.
- Tap that icon to open the videos you have reposted.
If the tab appears, you have found your repost history. This is the fastest way to audit what is publicly tied to your profile before you decide whether to remove anything.
How to see reposts on TikTok desktop
Desktop is worth checking because the profile layout is less cramped and easier to scan. Open TikTok.com, sign in, go to your profile, and look for the same repost section near your video and liked tabs.
If your goal is cleanup, desktop is also where RepostCleanup runs. Many people use TikTok.com to inspect their backlog first, then switch from checking to removing reposts once they know the list is long.
Can people see your reposts on TikTok?
Often, yes. If TikTok exposes your repost tab publicly, other people may be able to open it from your profile and see the videos you reposted. That is why accidental reposts can matter even when you never meant to share them.
- Public accounts are more likely to show repost activity.
- Private accounts may hide repost visibility from non-followers.
- TikTok experiments can change what different viewers see.
How to see someone else’s reposts
To check someone else’s reposts, open their profile and look for the same repost icon. If the account is public and the repost tab is enabled for that viewer, you can tap it to see what they have reposted.
If you do not see the tab, do not assume the person has never reposted. The account may be private, the tab may be hidden, or TikTok may simply not expose reposts for that profile layout.
Why the repost tab may be missing
Missing does not always mean deleted. In many cases, TikTok changed the UI, cached an older screen, or is rolling out a different profile layout to your account.
- Update the TikTok app.
- Log out and back in.
- Clear the app cache.
- Check TikTok.com on desktop to compare layouts.
- Ask a second account to check whether your repost tab appears publicly.
If the tab is temporarily hidden in the mobile app, desktop is often the quickest way to confirm whether your repost history is still visible somewhere else.
What to do after you find your reposts
Once you find the list, decide whether you only need to remove one repost or whether the profile needs a broader cleanup. For a few items, manual removal is fine. For a long backlog, one-by-one cleanup gets slow quickly.
RepostCleanup is built for the second case: reviewing and removing reposts from a desktop browser session without sending your platform password to a cleanup service.

RepostCleanup helps you move from audit mode to cleanup mode on desktop without handing your credentials to a third-party service.
