Common Questions

How many videos can I save? No official limit, but thousands of saved videos may slow the app.

Can I save videos from private accounts? Only if you follow them and they've approved you.

Do creators know when I save their video? No. Saving to Favorites is private. (Different from Likes, which they can see.)

Can I share my Collections? Yes, if you make them public. Others can then view and save from your collection.

What's the difference between "Save video" and bookmark? "Save video" downloads to device. Bookmark saves to TikTok Favorites (stays online).

Can I access saved videos without internet? No. Favorites require internet. Download videos to watch offline.

Are saved videos backed up? No. They're tied to your account. If you delete your account, saved videos are gone.

Can I save videos in multiple Collections? Not currently. Each video can only be in one Collection at a time.

Why did TikTok move the Favorites location? TikTok frequently updates its interface. Features move around as the app evolves.

Can I export my list of saved videos? Not directly through TikTok. Third-party tools may offer this, but use caution. For creating AI-generated images for your content, see how to create TikTok slideshow images with AI.
