TikTok has become one of the most popular social media platforms, with over 1 billion monthly active users. With so many great videos to watch, it’s easy to like a lot of content. But with hundreds or even thousands of liked videos, it can be difficult to find a specific one you want to watch again. Thankfully, TikTok allows you to sort your liked videos by date, making it easy to scroll through and find the exact video you’re looking for.
Viewing All Liked Videos
Before sorting your liked videos, you first need to access your full like list. To view all of your liked TikTok videos:
- Open the TikTok app on your mobile device.
- Tap on the “Profile” icon in the bottom right corner.
- On your profile page, tap on the “Heart” icon to open your likes.
This will display your Likes page with a feed of all the videos you have liked. By default, it shows a randomized selection of your recently liked videos.
Sorting Liked Videos by Date
Once you have opened your Likes page, you can sort the videos chronologically. To sort liked TikTok videos from newest to oldest:
- On the Likes page, tap on the sort icon in the top right corner (it looks like a downward arrow).
- Select the “Latest” option.
Your liked videos will now be sorted with the most recent likes at the top. This makes it easy to scroll through and find the latest videos you enjoyed and marked with a like.
Sorting in Reverse Chronological Order
You can also sort your liked videos from oldest to newest. To do this:
- Follow Steps 1 and 2 above to open the sort menu.
- Select the “Earliest” option.
The videos will now be sorted with your oldest liked videos at the top. This is helpful if you’re trying to find one of the first videos you liked when you joined TikTok.
Finding Specific Liked Videos
Sorting your TikTok likes chronologically can make it easier to locate a specific video. Here are some tips for finding a liked video when you don’t remember the exact date:
- Scroll through your likes feed. Sorting by date puts your likes in order, so scroll through until you find the time period the video was posted or liked.
- Use filters. Try filtering your likes by only showing videos from a certain user or with a specific sound or hashtag.
- Search keywords. Use the search bar to search for keywords, usernames, or sounds associated with the lost video.
- Check your history. Tap on the profile icon, then tap the clock icon to view your watch history which contains your recent video views.
Finding Liked Videos from a Specific Date Range
If you remember approximately when you liked a certain video, you can use filters to narrow down the date range:
- Tap the filter icon near the top of your Likes feed.
- Select “Date Liked.”
- Choose a date range, such as “Last 7 Days” or “Last 6 Months.”
This will filter your liked videos to only show those liked within that time period. You can then scroll through until you find the specific video you’re looking for.
Liking Videos on TikTok
Now that you know how to locate your liked videos, let’s go over how to like videos in the first place. TikTok makes it easy to engage with content you enjoy. Here are some ways to like videos:

Liking Videos During Feed Scrolling
The easiest way to like videos is directly in your For You or Following feed. As you’re scrolling:
- Pause on a video you enjoy watching.
- Tap the heart outline icon near the bottom right.
- The icon will fill in with red to indicate you have liked the video.
This is a quick way to engage and show support for creators and content you love as you browse through TikTok.
Liking Videos on Profile Pages
You can also like videos when visiting another user’s profile page. To do this:

- This will open the profile page. Tap a video to start watching it.
- Tap the heart icon to like the video and add it to your Likes feed.
Liking videos on profile pages is great for showing support to your favorite creators and being able to easily find their content later.
Disliking and Unliking Videos
As your likes build up over time, you may want to unlike some videos you are no longer interested in. You can easily undo likes on TikTok by tapping on the red heart icon again. The heart will revert to its unfilled state, undoing your like. To unlike in bulk:
