TikTok is, almost certainly, the social network that has grown the most in the last two years and if it has achieved something like this it is, without a doubt, due to the enormous capacity it has to viralize its content among the hundreds of millions of users around the world. So it is normal that from ByteDance want to continue that streak by introducing new ways to popularize what is uploaded to their profiles.
And the last thing that has occurred to them is not, precisely, an original function, but rather a copy quite similar to what we call on Twitter retuit. That is to say, take a publication that someone has uploaded to the social network and give it relevance forwarding it to all our followers without touching practically anything, just as it was devised by the user who uploaded it in the first instance.
Share with those who follow you
That is, more or less, the summary of the function that TikTok is developing and that has been seen in some apps from Android, probably in a test for a small number of users who will be in charge of testing that everything works correctly before a hypothetical launch in the coming weeks.

As you can see from the screenshot that you have just above, those users have in their possession a new button called “Repost” what comes to do the times of that retuit from Twitter. By clicking on it, that content that we want to highlight will become visible to all who follow our profile, so we will give it a little more relevance and, who knows, if we will be helping to make it viral much faster.
Yes indeed, as they point out some of the users who are testing it, this new button has some other limitation that we must take into account for a future launch, in case they leave it as it is being tested right now. And is that this “Repost“It only appears in those videos that are within our feed, so in any other part of the application we will not have this possibility of retweet.
Parallel to this button, those who are testing this new function must share a small text in each case for which they are asked the reason why they decide to resend that video again. Something that, we suppose, seeks on the part of TIkTok to make sense of a function that, until today, most users had not missed.
