**Your saved TikTok videos are in the Favorites tab on your profile, the bookmark icon next to your videos and likes.** Inside it, Videos lists everything you’ve saved and Collections holds the folders you’ve made. To save a video, tap the bookmark icon on it; tap it again to remove it.

Favorites are private by default, and each collection can be set to public or private. This guide covers finding saved videos, organising them into collections, deleting them, and why some show as unavailable. Your viewing history, which is separate, is covered in [how to see your TikTok watch history](/blog/tiktok-data/watch-history/). This guide is one of the data tasks that start from [downloading your TikTok data](/blog/tiktok-data/download-your-data/). Videos you made but never posted are kept somewhere else again, covered in [how to find TikTok drafts and save them to your camera roll](/blog/tiktok-data/drafts-camera-roll/).

## Where Do You Find Saved Videos on TikTok?

**Saved videos are on your own profile, under the bookmark tab.** Listed below are the 3 steps.

1.  **Tap** **Profile** at the bottom of the app.
2.  **Tap** the bookmark icon above your video grid.
3.  **Open** **Videos** for everything saved, or **Collections** for your folders.

The same tab also holds saved sounds, effects and other items, each in its own section.

## How Do You Save a Video to Favorites?

**Tap the bookmark icon on the right side of a video, or press and hold the video and choose to add it to Favorites.** To put it straight into a collection, tap the prompt that appears after saving and pick the collection.

## How Do You Create a Collection on TikTok?

**You create a collection from the Collections section of your Favorites tab.** Listed below are the 4 steps.

1.  **Open** your Favorites tab and tap **Collections**.
2.  **Tap** **Create new collection**.
3.  **Name** it and choose whether it’s public or private, where offered.
4.  **Select** saved videos to add to it.

## How Do You Delete a Collection on TikTok?

**To delete a collection, open it, tap the three dots or Manage option, and choose Delete.** Deleting a collection removes the folder; check whether its videos remain under Videos in your Favorites before assuming they’re gone. To remove a single video from Favorites, open it and tap the bookmark icon again.

## Can People See Your Saved Videos on TikTok?

**Your Favorites are private by default, and you choose for each collection whether it’s public or private.** Creators don’t see who saved their videos, only how many saves a video has. Other privacy controls are covered in [TikTok profile views](/blog/tiktok-profiles/profile-views/).

| Item | Who can see it by default |
| --- | --- |
| Your Favorites tab | Only you |
| A collection set to public | Anyone visiting your profile |
| A collection set to private | Only you |
| Who saved a video | Nobody; creators see only the save count |

## Why Do Saved Videos Show as Unavailable?

**A saved video shows as unavailable when its creator deleted it, made it private or had their account removed.** You can’t restore it from Favorites. Remove the empty entry by tapping the bookmark icon or the item’s menu. If you need a copy of a video that might disappear, download it while you can.

## Saving vs Downloading vs Reposting

**Saving keeps a link in your account, downloading keeps a file on your phone, and reposting shares the video with your followers.** If the creator deletes a video, a saved copy disappears, while a downloaded file stays. Downloading is covered in [how to download TikTok videos](/blog/tiktok-videos/download-tiktok-videos/), and reposting in [how to repost on TikTok](/blog/tiktok-videos/repost/).
