If you’ve organized your saved videos into folders, you may be wondering: how do you rename a collection on TikTok? TikTok allows you to create and manage collections, making it easier to organize your favorite videos by topic, such as recipes, travel, fitness, or inspiration.
The good news is that you can rename a collection at any time without losing the videos you’ve already saved. In this guide, we’ll show you exactly how to rename a TikTok collection and what to do if you don’t see the option.
What Are TikTok Collections?
TikTok Collections are folders that help you organize your saved (favorited) videos.
You can create collections for topics such as:
- Recipes
- Fashion
- Travel
- DIY projects
- Fitness
- Funny videos
- Business ideas
Renaming a collection doesn’t affect the videos inside it.
How to Rename a Collection on TikTok
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 Your Favorites
Tap the Favorites icon (bookmark).
Step 4: Open Collections
Select the Collections tab to view all your folders.
Step 5: Select the Collection
Tap the collection you want to rename.
Step 6: Open Collection Options
Tap the three dots or Edit option (depending on your app version).
Step 7: Rename the Collection
Tap Rename Collection.
Delete the old name and type your new one.
Choose a name that’s easy to recognize.
Examples include:
- Travel Ideas
- Healthy Recipes
- Home Decor
- Workout Videos
- Shopping Finds
Step 8: Save Your Changes

Your collection will immediately display its new name.
Can You Rename a Collection After Creating It?
Yes.
TikTok lets you rename collections whenever you want.
Renaming a collection:
- Does not delete saved videos.
- Does not affect your Favorites.
- Can be done multiple times.
What If You Can’t Rename Your Collection?
There are several possible reasons.
You’re Using an Older Version of TikTok
Update TikTok from your device’s app store.
The Feature Has Changed
TikTok occasionally updates the location of menu options.
Look for:
- Three dots
- Edit
- Manage Collection
Temporary App Glitch
Try:
- Closing and reopening TikTok.
- Restarting your phone.
- Logging out and back in.
You’re Looking at Favorites Instead of Collections
Only Collections can be renamed.
Individual favorite videos cannot.
Can You Delete a Collection Instead?
Yes.
If you no longer need a collection:
- Open the collection.
- Tap the three dots.
- Select Delete Collection.
Deleting a collection does not usually delete the videos from your Favorites. Instead, it removes the folder while the videos remain saved in your Favorites list.
Tips for Organizing TikTok Collections
Use Clear Names
Choose names that describe the content.
Examples include:
- Recipes
- Travel
- Fashion
- Study Tips
- Business Ideas
Separate Different Topics
Avoid placing every saved video into one large collection.
Organizing by category makes videos easier to find later.
Update Collections Regularly
Rename collections if your interests change over time.
Remove Unwanted Videos
Review your collections occasionally and remove videos you no longer need.
