Good TikTok videos can be hard to find, which is why users often save them to their favorites or download them to their devices. As TikTok supports long videos, users have developed a habit of saving informative content to watch later. However, TikTok users don’t receive notifications when their videos are favorited or downloaded. On the other hand, users do get notifications when someone likes or comments on a video.
TikTok’s Evolving Features
TikTok is constantly developing and testing new features to enhance the user experience. The platform has introduced features like the ‘Friend’s Tab,’ ‘Rewards Program,’ ‘Dislike Button,’ and many more. These additions position TikTok favorably between social media and entertainment platforms. Despite these updates, TikTok does not currently inform video creators, or TikTokers, about who has favorited or saved their videos. However, TikTok allows users to see how many times a video has been favorited. This information is public and appears right below the ‘Favorite’ icon in the bottom-right corner of the video.
Favoriting and Saving TikTok Videos
Users can favorite a TikTok video by simply tapping the ‘Favorite’ icon while watching it. TikTok now supports ‘Collections,’ enabling users to create folders for different types of videos. For example, users can have a folder for pet videos and another for informative videos. This feature is seamless; upon tapping the ‘Favorite’ icon, the app prompts the user to save or create a new collection. Dismissing this pop-up will still save the video to favorites, but not to any collection.
Managing TikTok Favorite Videos
- Tap the ‘Favorite’ icon to save a video.
- Create collections to organize your favorite videos.
- Access your favorites through the ‘Favorites’ icon on your profile.
- Use collections for different categories of videos.
Privacy and Notifications
TikTok may have chosen not to notify users when someone favorites or saves their videos to avoid overwhelming them with notifications and to protect users’ privacy. Users can manage the save ability of their videos and the visibility of their profiles. If a profile is public and the video is saveable, it is acceptable for someone to save or favorite it. Generally, TikTok users can access their favorite videos by tapping the ‘Favorites’ icon on their profiles. After opening the favorites page, a menu will appear with the names of the collections.
Protecting Your Privacy
If a TikTok user prefers not to have anyone save or favorite their videos, the only solution is to make the TikTok profile private. In this scenario, only approved followers can see the user’s videos or interact with them.
Final Thoughts
Understanding how to see who favorited your video on TikTok is important for managing your content and privacy. While TikTok doesn’t currently notify you about who favorites your videos, knowing how many times a video has been favorited and managing your own favorites can help you engage more effectively with your audience.
