TikTok has been controversial in the USA because of its Chinese origins, but looks set to be able to continue in the American market.

The ‘like’ feature on TikTok isn’t exactly revolutionary, but like all social media platforms, it has become a sort of currency – the more likes you have, the more popular your content is. It is through likes that people like Charli D’Amelio and Addison Rae have rose through the ranks to become TikTok royalty.

But as great as likes can be for our own content – whether it be raising your own profile or giving yourself a confidence boost – liking other people’s content can be a great way to save and categorise some of your favourite videos!

As a feature, it isn’t immediately obvious how to find the videos you have previously liked on TikTok, so here’s an easy guide to show you how to find some of your previous likes on the app.

How to like a video on TikTok

If you’re new to TikTok, you might be wondering how you can like videos in the first place! Each social media app has its own way of showing appreciation to content creators, and this is no different.

To like a video on the app, all you need to do is press the heart-shaped icon that is on the right side of a video. When the heart turns red, this is how you know that you have successfully liked the video. Liked a video by mistake? Simply press the heart icon again and it will go back from red to its original outline.

Liking videos on TikTok is a great way to show content creators support.

Ultimately, TikTok has so many great filters, features and trends, but working out how to navigate them can be challenging for a first-time user. You might have noticed, for example, that anime filter going around that everyone is using.

An inevitable part of surfing aimlessly through the TikTok video feed is stumbling across an endless number of interesting videos that you would want to watch again or recreate yourself in the future. So, it is only natural for us to hit the bookmark button for the sake of future reference. On TikTok, the bookmark feature is called Favorites, a tool which you can use to add or remove an item, say a video, a filter, or a sound to use or review later. Let’s take a closer at TikTok “favorites” in this article.

How to find Favorites on TikTok on iPhone and Android

Everything you bookmark on TikTok is easily accessible under the favorites tab in your profile where all the items you have “favorited” through the time get categorized into various subsections entitled Videos, Sounds, Effects, Comments, Questions, Hashtags, and Products. Here’s how you access the favorites shortcut.

Launch TikTok and tap the profile icon to go to your profile.

Hit the bookmark icon on the right side of the Edit profile button.

The landing page shows various tabs which are dedicated compartments for various types of bookmarked items such as videos, hashtags, sounds, effects, comments, etc. Tap any tab to view all the related items you have added to favorites. In the screenshot below, we see the videos tab which contains all the videos you have added to favorites so far. Tap any video to watch it.

We shall take a look at another tab under Favorites. Tap Sounds to view all the audio clips you have added to favorites on the app. There are no collection folders under any other tabs, though; collections is an exclusive feature to organize your video favorites.

The purpose of the Favorites tabs is to give users easy access to review and use the items. For instance, you can replay any of the videos added to favorites anytime without the fear of them getting automatically reset after a certain period like the list of Liked videos (which is also accessible under the profile).

Another highlight is that Favorites are entirely private — no one else can view what you have hoarded in your collections; similarly, you can not view other users’ favorites. This acts as the necessary wall to give you a sense of privacy.

Sadly, there is no Favorites tab or shortcut button for us to use on the TikTok web. Because it is deliberately excluded from web features to push users to resort to the app for a complete experience, it likely won’t appear at all on the web. Such a bummer for those of us who use our computers more than our mobile phones.

However, if you are the type of user who leaves a like on your favorites videos, then there might be a hack — for the lack of a better word –to view videos freshly liked and added to favorites. Here’s how you do it.

Go to TikTok web on your browser.

FAQs

Who can see your Favorites on TikTok?

No one but you can view your favorites just the way you cannot see what others have bookmarked under their profile. Bookmarks function or Favorites on TikTok is not to be confused with the Liked videos tab under a user profile. The Liked videos can be customized to be private (exclusive to you) or for public view (for anyone to view and browser through). You can change the privacy settings for Liked videos under Settings and privacy > Privacy > Liked videos > Everyone / Only Me. To conclude, “Likes” can be made private or public, but “Favorites” always remain private.

Can you categorize favorites on TikTok into collections?

Videos you have bookmarked can be grouped into collections or folders under the Favorites tab on your profile. However, this function is exclusive to videos; other bookmarked items like sounds, effects, hashtags, etc., cannot be further organized internally. The option to organize videos into collections is much appreciated and praised by users, as it paves way for leisurely browsing and keeps at bay the possibility of the videos tab from falling into a disarray of genres.
