TikTok is a popular short-form video app with over 1 billion monthly active users worldwide [1]. On TikTok, users can watch, create, and share 15 to 60 second videos on any topic. One useful feature on TikTok is the ability to save videos. Saving a video on TikTok adds it to your “Saved” collection so you can easily find and watch it again later.
Saving videos on TikTok is useful for many reasons. It allows you to curate and organize content you find interesting or want to rewatch. You can also use your Saved videos collection to get inspiration and ideas for your own TikTok videos. Additionally, saving a video makes it easy to share or send that video to friends. Overall, the save feature is an important way for TikTok users to keep track of their favorite content on the platform.
Viewing your Liked videos
Your Liked videos on TikTok are all the videos you have liked while scrolling through your For You feed or visiting other profiles. To view your Liked videos:
1. Open the TikTok app and tap on your profile icon in the bottom right corner.
2. On your profile page, tap on the “Liked” tab near the top.
This will open your Liked videos collection where you can scroll through and watch any videos you have previously liked. The number of liked videos will be displayed on the tab, so you can easily see if any new likes have been added since last visiting.
Your Liked videos collection is private and only visible to you by default. You can change this in your privacy settings if you want to make your Liked videos public.
Tip: Tap the sparkle icon on a video to add it to your “Favorites” collection for quick access later.
Viewing your Saved videos collection
Your Saved videos collection is where all of the videos you have saved are stored on TikTok. To access your Saved videos:
- Open the TikTok app and go to your profile page.
- Tap the bookmark icon in the bottom right corner. This will open your Saved videos collection.
- Scroll through your Saved videos to view them. You can also search for specific videos using the search bar at the top.
The Saved collection makes it easy to access all of your favorite videos in one place. You can view, like, share, and delete videos directly from your Saved collection.
Downloading your Saved videos
If you want to download videos from your Saved videos collection on TikTok for offline viewing or to save them permanently, there are a few different options:
You can use third party apps like Snaptik or SSSTik to download TikTok videos without a watermark. These apps allow you to enter the URL of the TikTok video and download it to your device’s storage.
Alternatively, you can use online TikTok video download sites like Online Video Converter or Ontiva. These sites allow you to enter the URL of a TikTok video to download it.
To download videos directly from the TikTok app on your mobile device, open the video in the app and tap on the Share icon. Then tap “Save video” to save it to your camera roll or gallery without a watermark. This will allow you to keep a local copy of your favorite Saved videos.
On iOS, you can also use the TikTok app’s built-in “Save to Files” option to save videos without watermarks. Tap the Share icon on the video, choose “Save to Files” and the video will save to your phone’s local storage.
Whichever method you choose, downloading your Saved videos allows you to archive and organize them for convenient access even if they are removed from TikTok.
Organizing your Saved videos
TikTok allows you to organize your Saved videos into playlists to keep them organized. Here are some ways to create playlists for your Saved videos:
On the profile tab, tap “Sort videos into playlists” (if you haven’t created a playlist yet) or tap the plus icon next to your existing playlists (TikTok Help Center). Give your playlist a name and description, then tap “Create.”
You can add Saved videos to a playlist by tapping the share arrow on a video, then “Add to playlist” and selecting the playlist you want. You can also long press a Saved video and select “Add to playlist.”
To reorder videos within a playlist, press and hold a video then drag it to the position you want. You can also delete videos from a playlist by swiping left on the video.
On the desktop site, click the “Playlists” tab on your profile. Click the “+” icon to create a new playlist. You can then add videos by clicking “Add to playlist” below a video and selecting the playlist.
With playlists, you can easily find and watch your Saved videos organized by topics or themes. It’s a handy way to organize your favorite videos for quick access later.
Searching your Saved videos
You can easily search through your Saved videos collection using keywords. Just tap the search icon in the upper right corner of your Saved videos page and enter a search term. TikTok will return results from your Saved videos that match the keyword(s) you entered.
Here are some tips for searching your Saved videos effectively:
- Use descriptive keywords – For example, searching “dog” may return too many results, whereas “golden retriever puppy” will be more specific.
- Try different keyword variations – Search for plural or singular forms of words, alternate spellings, etc. to cover all possibilities.
- Use hashtags – Include relevant hashtags in your search to find Saved videos with those tags.
- Filter the results – Once you get search results, you can filter by LIKED, watch time, date, etc.
Taking the time to search for a specific Saved video can be easier than endlessly scrolling to find it. With the right keywords, you can quickly locate the TikTok videos you want to watch again or share.
Deleting your Saved videos
If you want to delete individual Saved videos from your collection, follow these steps:
- Open the Saved videos section in your profile and find the video you want to remove.
- Tap on the three dots in the bottom right corner of the video thumbnail.
- Select “Delete” from the menu.
- Confirm that you want to delete the video.
You can also delete multiple videos at once by tapping the checkbox icon at the top of your Saved videos screen, selecting the videos you want to delete, and then tapping “Delete” at the bottom.
To completely clear all the videos from your Saved collection:
- Go to your profile and tap on the “Saved” section.
- Tap on “Clear all” at the top of the screen.
- Confirm that you want to delete all your Saved videos.
Once you delete a video from your Saved collection, it will no longer be available in that section of your profile. However, deleting a Saved video does not delete it from TikTok entirely or remove it from your viewing history or likes.
Liking Saved Videos
Liking your Saved videos on TikTok is an easy way to keep them in your Liked videos collection for future viewing. When you Save a video on TikTok, it goes into your private Saved videos list, but does not get added to your Liked videos unless you also Like it.
Liking your Saved videos has a couple benefits:
- Keeps them in your Liked videos collection – Liking a Saved video adds it to your Liked videos list so you can easily find it again later. Your Saved videos list is private, so Liking makes the video public in your Liked videos.
- Shows appreciation to creators – Liking a video is a way to show the creator you enjoyed their content. Creators can see the number of Likes on their videos.
- Trains the recommendation algorithm – Liking videos helps TikTok learn what content you enjoy so it can recommend more relevant videos to you.
However, some people advise not Liking your own videos as it can appear like self-promotion. You can keep your own videos in Liked without Liking them by using the “Keep in Liked” switch when posting.
Overall, Liking Saved videos is an optional way to make sure you can easily find and rewatch videos you enjoyed. Just be thoughtful about overusing the feature.
Privacy settings for Saved videos
You can control the privacy of your Saved videos collection in TikTok. Here’s how to adjust those settings:
Tap the profile icon in the bottom right corner, then tap the three-line menu icon in the top right corner. Choose “Settings and privacy” then “Privacy”.
Under “Discoverability” you can choose who can find your account and view your videos. The options are:
- Everyone
- Friends
- No one
Select “Friends” if you only want people you approve to see your Saved videos. Choose “No one” to make your account and Saved collection completely private.
You can also toggle “Recommend your account to others” on or off depending on if you want TikTok to recommend your account to other users.
Additionally, under “Liked & Collected Videos” you can choose either “Friends” or “Only me” for who can view your Saved videos collection. Select “Only me” for complete privacy.
Adjust these settings as needed to control who can access and see the videos you have saved on TikTok.
