How to search liked videos on TikTok


If you’ve liked hundreds of TikTok videos, finding a specific one can be difficult. You may be wondering: how do you search liked videos on TikTok? While TikTok lets you view all of your liked videos in one place, it currently does not offer a built-in search feature that lets you search only within your liked videos.

Fortunately, there are several ways to find an older liked video more quickly. In this guide, we’ll explain how to access your liked videos, what search options are available, and tips for organizing videos so they’re easier to find later.

Can You Search Your Liked Videos on TikTok?

No, not directly.

TikTok currently does not have a feature that lets you search by:

  • Video title
  • Creator name
  • Caption
  • Hashtag

within your list of liked videos.

Instead, you’ll need to browse your liked videos manually or use other methods to narrow down what you’re looking for.

How to View Your Liked Videos

Step 1: Open TikTok

Launch the TikTok app and sign in to your account.

Step 2: Go to Your Profile

Tap Profile in the bottom-right corner.

Step 3: Open the Liked Videos Tab

Tap the heart icon on your profile.

You’ll see all the videos you’ve liked, provided your liked videos are visible to you.

How to Find a Specific Liked Video

Since there’s no dedicated search feature, try these methods.

Scroll Through Your Likes

If you liked the video recently, scrolling through your liked videos may be the quickest solution.

Search for the Creator

If you remember who posted the video:

  1. Use TikTok’s search bar.
  2. Search for the creator’s username or display name.
  3. Visit their profile.
  4. Look through their videos.

Search by Keywords

If you remember:

  • A phrase from the caption
  • A hashtag
  • A song
  • A topic

Search for those terms in TikTok’s main search bar.

Once you find the video, you’ll recognize that you’ve already liked it.

Check Your Favorites

If you also saved the video to Favorites, it may be easier to locate there.

Go to:

  • Profile
  • Favorites
  • Collections (if you’ve organized saved videos)

Collections make finding content much easier than relying on likes alone.

Can You Search Liked Videos on a Computer?

No.

TikTok’s desktop version also doesn’t include a search tool for liked videos.

You can view your liked videos if they’re available on your account, but you’ll still need to browse them manually.

Can Other People See Your Liked Videos?

That depends on your privacy settings.

If your liked videos are public:

  • Other users can view them from your profile.

If you’ve made them private:

  • Only you can see your liked videos.

To change this setting:

  1. Go to Profile.
  2. Tap the menu icon (three lines).
  3. Select Settings and privacy.
  4. Tap Privacy.
  5. Choose Liked videos.
  6. Select who can view them.

How to Organize Videos More Easily

Since likes can’t be searched, consider using Favorites instead.

You can create collections such as:

  • Recipes
  • Travel
  • Fashion
  • Workout Ideas
  • Funny Videos
  • DIY Projects

Collections make it much easier to find saved content later.

Why Can’t I Find My Liked Videos?

Possible reasons include:

Your Likes Are Hidden

If you’ve changed your privacy settings, your liked videos may not appear as expected.

The Video Was Deleted

If the creator deleted the video, it will no longer appear in your liked videos.

The Creator Made the Video Private

Private or unavailable videos are removed from public view, even if you previously liked them.

App Glitch

Restart TikTok or update the app to the latest version.

Tips for Managing Liked Videos

Save Important Videos

Use Favorites for videos you don’t want to lose.

Create Collections

Organize saved videos by topic instead of relying only on your likes.

Remove Unwanted Likes

Unlike videos you no longer need to keep your list easier to browse.

Follow Creators You Enjoy

It’s often easier to revisit a creator’s profile than search through hundreds of liked videos.
