TikTok became a friend to all during lockdowns and the app continues to capture people’s attention and evolve.
Now we’ve all heard of Twitter’s retweet feature. Where you can tweet someone’s tweet onto your account – usually it’s a sign of liking that person’s tweet and wanting to show your appreciation.
It’s kind of like a virtual high-five.
Occasionally people retweet tweets to make fun of someone but let’s stay positive!
Well according to Life Hacker, TikTok is trialling a repost option.
Some users now are able to share videos with followers by clicking a new yellow repost button. You can even add a comment but it won’t be posted as your content.
Basically, the original creator is the one that will still be getting all the likes and comments from the video. So it works very similar to how retweets work.
The cool thing about this update is it really leans into making sure the creator is credited and also allows TikTok users to share and support their favourite content with mates.
Here at B&T, we are usually scared of updates because it involves learning something new but this sounds familiar and simple so we are down!
