How to Find Saved Videos and Manage Collections on TikTok

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. This guide is one of the data tasks that start from downloading your TikTok 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.

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.

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.

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, and reposting in how to repost on TikTok.
