If you enjoy watching videos on TikTok, you may have wondered: how do you make your liked videos private on TikTok? TikTok allows users to like videos by tapping the heart icon, creating a collection of videos they enjoy.
Because your liked videos can reveal your interests, favorite creators, and the type of content you watch, TikTok gives users the option to control who can see their liked videos.
By default, TikTok keeps liked videos private for many accounts, but you can check your settings and make sure your liked videos are hidden from other users.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to make your liked videos private, change your privacy settings, and understand who can see your liked content.
Can People See Your Liked Videos on TikTok?
TikTok allows users to choose whether their liked videos are visible to others.
If your liked videos are set to public, other people visiting your profile may be able to see the videos you have liked.
If you make them private, only you can view your liked videos.

Why Should You Make Your Liked Videos Private?
Many users choose to hide their liked videos for privacy reasons.
Your liked videos may show:

If your liked videos are set to Only you, your followers cannot see them.
They can still see:

Can Someone See When You Like Their TikTok Video?
Yes, in many cases the creator of a TikTok video may receive a notification when you like their video.
However, they cannot view your entire list of liked videos if you have set it to private.
Can You Hide Individual Liked Videos?
No.
TikTok does not currently allow you to hide specific liked videos while keeping others visible.
Your privacy setting applies to your entire liked videos section.
If you do not want a video to appear in your liked videos:
- Open the video.
