How to Find Saved Videos on TikTok (Favorites Explained)
On TikTok, “saving” a video is called adding it to Favorites. That’s why so many people search for their saved videos and can’t find a “Saved” button. Your saves are in the Favorites tab on your profile.
Where are saved videos on TikTok?
Saved videos are in Profile > Favorites (the bookmark icon). Inside Favorites you’ll see tabs for videos, collections, sounds, effects and more.

- Open TikTok and tap Profile in the bottom-right corner.

Can people see your favorites on TikTok?
It depends on your settings. To check or change it:

- Tap Settings and privacy > Privacy.
- Find Favorite videos (or Favorites) and choose who can see them.
Set it to Only me to keep your saved videos private.
Can creators see who saved their TikTok?

Why can’t I find my saved TikTok videos?
- The creator deleted the video or made it private.
- You liked the video instead of adding it to Favorites.
- You’re logged into a different TikTok account.
- An app update moved the tab. Update TikTok and look for the bookmark icon on your profile.
