If you noticed your videos are being saved and want to know who saved them, you may be wondering: how do you see who favorited your videos on TikTok? While TikTok lets creators see how many times a video has been added to Favorites, it does not reveal the identities of the users who saved it.
In this guide, we’ll explain what TikTok allows you to see, how to check your favorite count, and why the platform keeps this information private.
Can You See Who Favorited Your TikTok Videos?
No.
TikTok does not allow creators to see which specific users have added their videos to Favorites.
You cannot view:
- The names of users who favorited your video
- A list of people who saved your content
- Notifications showing exactly who added your video to Favorites
This helps protect users’ privacy.
Can You See How Many People Favorited Your Video?
Yes.
For eligible accounts, TikTok provides analytics that may include the number of times your video was added to Favorites.
This lets you measure engagement without revealing who saved the video.
How to Check Favorites in TikTok Analytics
Step 1: Open TikTok
Launch the TikTok app and sign in to your account.
Step 2: Go to Your Profile
Tap Profile.
Step 3: Open TikTok Studio
Tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines).
Select TikTok Studio or Creator Tools, depending on your app version.
Step 4: Open Analytics
Tap Analytics.
Step 5: Select a Video
Open the video you want to review.
If available, you’ll see engagement metrics such as:
- Views
- Likes
- Comments
- Shares
- Favorites (saves)
You’ll see the number of saves, but not the users who saved the video.
Will TikTok Notify You When Someone Favorites Your Video?
Generally, no.
TikTok does not send a notification every time someone adds your video to their Favorites.
Instead, Favorites are counted as part of your engagement metrics.
Why Doesn’t TikTok Show Who Saved Your Videos?
TikTok keeps Favorites private to encourage users to save content without sharing that activity publicly.
This privacy approach is similar to many other social media platforms, where saved content is treated as personal.
Can You See Who Saved Your Videos Using Third-Party Apps?
No.
No third-party app can legitimately reveal who favorited your TikTok videos.
Be cautious of apps or websites that claim they can provide this information.
Many of them:
- Ask for your TikTok login.
- Collect personal information.
- Violate TikTok’s terms of service.
- Don’t work as advertised.
How to Tell If People Are Saving Your Videos
Although you can’t see who saved them, you can look for signs such as:
- A growing Favorites count in Analytics.
- Increased views over time.
- More shares and engagement.
- Positive comments indicating viewers want to revisit the content.
These can suggest your videos are valuable to your audience.
Tips to Get More Favorites
Create Helpful Content
Tutorials, recipes, tips, and educational videos are often saved for later.
Use Clear Titles
Tell viewers what they’ll learn or gain from the video.
Encourage Viewers to Save
You can include a call to action such as:
- “Save this for later.”
- “Bookmark this tip.”
Post High-Quality Videos
Useful and engaging content is more likely to be added to Favorites.
