How to Save Your Beloved TikTok Videos Before They Vanish

Love a TikTok so much that you wish to keep it on your device forever? You can achieve this by utilizing the save video feature within the application.

“Save video” allows you to store your preferred TikToks in your phone’s photo library. Downloading TikTok videos ensures you can access them even if the user removes the video or if TikTok eliminates it or the audio. While this seems less probable now with a signed agreement, it also safeguards your beloved TikTok videos in the event the platform is ever banned, which has been a concern for years. Additionally, downloading a TikTok video simplifies sharing with friends who might not have The Clock App.

Regrettably, you are unable to save all TikToks — the user must permit downloads for their video. If the “Save video” option is absent, it indicates that the TikTok user has not allowed downloads for their account.

In such cases, you can always opt to screen record the TikTok instead. (We can guide you on how to do that as well.)

To save a TikTok, follow the instructions below.
