Does “liked a video you reposted” tell you they visited your profile, or can it happen from their FYP?

If I go to someone’s profile, open their reposts, and like one of the videos directly from their repost tab, does TikTok still send them a notification saying “[username] liked your repost”? Or did TikTok remove that specific notification and now say something like “[username] liked a video you reposted”?

I’ve seen older posts saying there used to be a distinction between the two, but I’m wondering what TikTok does currently in 2026. Also, if the exact same TikTok someone reposted just appears on my FYP and I like it there, would they get a notif? Bc SO many of my moots repost TikToks that end up on my FYP and I like them, so would they get a notif every single time??

Basically I’m trying to figure out if the notification actually tells them that I went to their profile/reposts and liked it from there, or if they could’ve just gotten the TikTok on their FYP.

I’m asking bc I wanna know if someone liking one of MY reposts means they actually went on my profile/reposts or if they could’ve just seen it on their FYP 😭 I HOPE IM MAKING SENSE LMAO

TikTok simplified the whole notification system a while back. It used to say "liked your repost" when they did it from your profile, and "liked a video you reposted" for FYP likes, but they merged it all into one generic message to cut down on stalking anxiety. So now there's no way to tell which path they took, which is honestly a relief.

If that video pops up on their FYP and they double tap, you're getting the same ping as if they deep-dived your profile at 2am. The mystery is the fun part.
