TikTok working on a new repost button. The social network is known for its viral short videos and now allowing users to share their TikTok videos on their profiles.
Matt Navarra says that some users have recently noticed a new repost option when sharing a TikTok video. The feature doesn’t appear to be fully functioning yet and appears only to be shared to the user’s followers, not the user’s own profile.

TikTok’s new repost button is still in beta
Of course, since this is supposedly a beta feature, TikTok still has time to change how the button works or even remove it entirely. At the same time, the button shows that the company is aware that some users want to share their favorite TikTok videos with all their followers, not just a few of them.
It’s unclear whether TikTok has targeted a specific group of users to get the new feature or if the social network is randomly making the feature available to users around the world.
