If you’ve bookmarked content to watch later, you may be wondering: how do you find saved videos on TikTok? TikTok allows users to save videos in different ways, including adding them to Favorites or downloading them to a device.
Saved videos help users organize content they enjoy, revisit tutorials, keep entertaining clips, or store useful information for later viewing. In this guide, we’ll explain where saved videos are located on TikTok, how Favorites work, and what to do if saved videos seem to disappear.
What Are Saved Videos on TikTok?
“Saved videos” on TikTok can refer to two different things:
- Favorited Videos
Videos bookmarked inside TikTok using the Favorites feature.
- Downloaded Videos
Videos saved directly to your phone’s gallery or camera roll.
How to Find Saved Videos on TikTok
Find Favorited Videos
Follow these steps:
- Open TikTok
- Go to your Profile

- Select Videos
You’ll see videos you previously saved to Favorites.
How to Save a Video to Favorites
To save a TikTok video:

The video will then appear in your Favorites section.
How to Find Downloaded TikTok Videos

Can Other People See Your Saved Videos?
Usually no.
