If you use TikTok regularly, you may want to share the videos, sounds, effects, or posts you have saved with other people. This may make you wonder: how do you make your favorites public on TikTok?
TikTok allows users to save videos, sounds, hashtags, effects, and products to their Favorites section. However, your saved favorites are usually private by default, meaning other users cannot see what you have saved.
Currently, TikTok does not offer an option to make your entire Favorites collection public. Your saved videos, sounds, and other favorite items remain visible only to you.
In this guide, you’ll learn how TikTok Favorites work, what you can and cannot share, and alternative ways to show others your favorite content.
Can You Make Your TikTok Favorites Public?
No.
TikTok does not currently allow users to make their Favorites tab public.
Your Favorites section is private and can only be viewed by you when you are logged into your account.
This includes:
- Saved videos
- Favorite sounds
- Favorite effects
- Favorite hashtags
- Favorite products
- Saved posts
Other people visiting your profile cannot see your Favorites.
Why Are TikTok Favorites Private?
TikTok keeps Favorites private to protect user privacy.
Your saved content can reveal:
- Your interests
- Videos you want to watch later
- Products you are considering
- Creators you follow
- Trends you are exploring
Because of this, TikTok does not provide a public Favorites setting.
How to Share Your Favorite TikTok Videos
Although you cannot make your Favorites public, you can still share individual videos.
To share a saved video:
- Open TikTok.
- Tap Profile.
- Tap the Favorites icon.
- Open the video you want to share.
- Tap the Share button.
- Choose where you want to send it.
You can share it through:
- Messages
- Copy link
How to Create a Public Collection of Favorite Videos
TikTok does not allow a public Favorites folder, but you can create a similar experience using other methods.
Option 1: Repost Videos
You can repost videos you enjoy so your followers can see them.
Steps:
- Open the TikTok video.
- Tap the Share button.
- Select Repost.
Your followers may see the reposted video depending on their feed settings.
Option 2: Create Your Own Playlist
If you are a creator, TikTok may allow you to create public playlists for your own videos.
Steps:
- Go to your profile.
- Tap the playlist option (if available).
- Create a playlist.
- Add your videos.
Note that playlists are for your own content, not saved Favorites.
Option 3: Make a Separate Account
Some creators create a second account dedicated to sharing content they like.
Examples:
- Favorite movie clips
- Fashion inspiration
- Cooking ideas
- Travel videos
- Product recommendations
This allows followers to see the type of content you enjoy or recommend.
How to Check Your TikTok Favorites Privacy
Even though Favorites cannot be made public, you can check your privacy settings.
Steps:
- Open TikTok.
- Tap Profile.
- Tap the three-line menu (☰).
- Select Settings and privacy.
- Choose Privacy.
- Review your account visibility settings.
Remember, changing your account from private to public does not make your Favorites visible.
Can People See Your TikTok Favorites?
No.
Other users cannot see:
- Your saved videos
- Your saved sounds
- Your saved effects
- Your saved hashtags
- Your saved products
They can only see content you choose to post, like, comment on, or repost (depending on your settings).
Can You See Someone Else’s TikTok Favorites?
No.
TikTok does not allow users to view another person’s Favorites collection.
If someone wants to share their favorite content, they need to:
- Post it
- Repost it
- Send you the link
- Share it manually
