Reposts on the VKontakte social network, as well as likes, are one of the main elements that allow you to re-publish someone’s posts on your wall or in a community feed. At the same time, sometimes it may be necessary to view the list of users who shared a particular post. In this article, we will talk about methods for implementing such a task.
How to see on VK who reposted a post?
There are 3 main ways to see who reposted a post on VK, but one of the existing methods cannot be called sufficiently reliable and effective. Each of them has its own weaknesses and shortcomings. In general, users are able to:
- ask the owner of the account or group where the publication is posted to give access to the page or share a list of people (this method is relevant when it comes to close people);
- go to the page of the person you want to check (if he reposted, the post will appear on his wall);
- The third approach is to use third-party services and programs that allow you to secretly see who copied the recording from a friend.
Which approach to choose is up to the users themselves, but it is worth remembering that closing access to the list of reposts and switching to indicating only the number of reposts did not happen by chance, and to respect the rights of others to privacy.
VKontakte has stopped displaying the list of people who reposted
Starting today, users of the social network VKontakte have the opportunity to close their profiles to friends. The new features are designed to provide more flexibility to protect the personal space of users who do not want to share their posts and photos outside a narrow circle of close people.
Now VKontakte also does not display a list of people who have reposted posts. This information is available only to the author of the publication; other users see the total number of reposts.
A closed profile displays a minimum of information: first and last name, preview of the main photo (avatar), list of mutual friends. At the user's request, status, city, age and place of work can be displayed. The content and other information on the page are automatically closed by privacy settings, including the following sections: Wall, Photo, Video, Music, Subscriptions, Communities, Stories, Gifts, Marital status, Relatives, Contact information, Education, Career, Life position, Personal information.
Andrey Rogozov, Managing Director of VKontakte:
“Recently, we have received many questions about how VKontakte works with users’ personal data. We want to make this process as transparent as possible and are currently preparing a detailed information section on this topic. It will include principles for working with data: what information we store on servers, for how long, what it can be used for and in what cases it can be transferred somewhere, as well as information about the policy for processing requests from government agencies.
Despite the fact that the root of the problem lies in imperfect legislation and law enforcement practice, we will continue to do everything in our power and systematically improve VKontakte, giving users more flexibility in working with their data. Very soon we will launch the ability to quickly archive or completely delete your old posts and photos. For many, this can be a convenient opportunity to hide irrelevant information from their page.”
The global privacy reform on VKontakte is associated with increased criminal cases for reposting publications. Users are increasingly becoming involved in cases where law enforcement agencies do not take into account the context, do not distinguish a publication from a repost, and an image with a dubious joke is equated to truly dangerous criminal offenses as extremist activity.
Earlier, Mail.Ru Group, the owner of VKontakte, asked the State Duma to introduce a bill on amnesty for those convicted for liking and reposting.

Services through which you can find out who reposted a post on VK
At the moment, there are not many services, programs and applications that allow you to obtain information about publications from another user. The most popular and famous is VK-FANS.RU. But, the disadvantage of using third-party resources is the risk that account owners who decide to check a friend or girlfriend take when downloading unverified applications. Therefore, before installing the program on your PC, iPhone or phone, you should:
- Create a system backup or restore point.
- Install a reliable antivirus.
- Check the selected program by reading reviews of people who have already used it in the thematic group or answers and advice from experienced users on the forums.
It is important to remember that computer security is the work of its owner.

Ways to do it
Now let’s move on directly to the instructions and ways to find out who reposted a particular publication. Note that all of them relate specifically to your page, so, unfortunately, you won’t be able to get statistics on someone else’s post for now. And one more thing – it’s most convenient to use the presented methods from a smartphone.
Statistics
Statistics is a standard option initially available to every professional account holder. If you are still using a personal profile, then the situation needs to change. We have compiled step-by-step instructions on how to correctly switch to a business profile.
This step cannot be skipped, otherwise you will not be able to analyze stories:
- Open the Instagram mobile application.
- Click on the three stripes in the corner of the screen to open an additional menu.
- In the list that appears, find the “Settings” section and go to it.
- Select “Account”, then “Switch to professional account”. If you can't find the last item, then look carefully at the bottom of the page. It is presented in the format of a regular line, the text of which is filled in blue.
- We follow the standard steps, first selecting the format of your profile. If you are a public figure, a creator of interesting content, an artist or a blogger, click “Author”. And if a representative of a business, a manager – “Business”.
- All that remains is to indicate the category of the page, fill out additional contact information and, if desired, link your Facebook account. There is no need to wait or confirm anything further. Your profile will automatically be transferred to the new status.
And now, if you look closely at the additional menu, you will see the “Statistics” section there. This is exactly what we will use to obtain reliable information. So, first go to the desired post, and then under it click on the “View statistics” button. Scroll to the “Interaction” item and analyze the value indicated there.
For example, if a person sent your publication to history or Direct, then all this will be displayed in your statistics. This way you can understand how actively subscribers interact with your posts. But this figure is not entirely accurate, so we recommend using the newer option. To do this, open the desired photo or video, click on the three dots in the corner of the screen and select “Repost stories.”
If there is no such item, then either you have not updated the application, or no one has shared your post yet. The second option, by the way, is more plausible. In the tab that opens, you can see other people's stories with your post. As mentioned earlier, there is no exact number, so each story will have to be counted manually.
Function, reply to stories
Not long ago, the official social network application introduced a useful feature designed to provide feedback to the user who added a certain story. Previously, you had to take a screenshot to share your opinion on a particular post. Now it’s enough to use the already built-in option. Here are instructions on how to do it correctly:
- Open the user history.
- At the bottom of the screen, near the message field, click on the camera icon.
- We record our own story or just write a text message. If you wish, you can change the number of possible views so that the author can only see your message once or twice.
- We send a message.
The profile owner will receive a notification that you have responded to their story. Thanks to this option, you can find out the approximate number of people who reposted. Of course, the data will be approximate, but if using the first method is not possible, then this option is an excellent way out of the situation!
How to repost content on your computer
There are no buttons on a PC that can be used to instantly add publications to your profile. To do this, you will need an emulator - a program that simulates the Android operating system on a computer. It slows down your PC, but you can use the social network without any restrictions. By downloading the BlueStacks emulator to your computer, you can download one of the tools from the list above and add content for yourself.
A universal method is to copy text accompanying pictures and screenshots. You need to take a screenshot, crop it, leaving only the photo. Next, you need to copy the text and publish it on your page along with the image.
