Instagram has announced it will adjust its algorithm so it will limit who sees your Instagram Reels if you are reposting videos from Tik Tok. (It must drive Zuckerberg crazy to see the Tik Tok watermark on his network.)

Here are some ways to get around Instagram's temper tantrum. We've found websites, apps, and how-to videos that get rid of the tik tok watermark (which is how Instagram will spot your reposting).

Copy and paste the Tik Tok video into this online converter called Tik Tok Downloader.
