How to save TikTok videos on your smartphone
There are ways to download and save TikTok videos directly to your smartphone, but there are also ways to download them if you cannot save them, so we will explain how to save TikTok videos for each device as follows.
How to download videos directly from the TikTok app (basic saving method)
How to download TikTok videos that cannot be saved
(the "Share to SNS" and "Screen Recording" functions)
TikTok has a download function in the tool itself for some videos, so you can download them directly to your phone (iPhone or Android).
Basic saving method - simply tap "Save Video
- Play the video you want to save.
- Tap the "Share" icon in the lower right corner.
- Select "Save Video" in the item field.
We will then explain each of these in detail.
For iPhone
To save a TikTok video on your iPhone, follow these steps
- Launch TikTok and display the video you wish to save on the screen.
- Tap the "Share" icon in the lower right corner of the screen.
- Select "Save Video" from the Share-related items that appear.
- The video will be downloaded and can be played back anytime from the iPhone's camera roll.
Once the video is saved, a "TikTok" folder will be automatically generated in your iPhone album.
For Android

How to download unsaved TikTok videos
If TikTok has a save function in the tool itself, you can use it to download the video, but in some cases, you may not be able to save the video due to copyright issues or other reasons, so you will not be able to tap the "Save Video" icon. In these cases, you can use the "Share to SNS" function and the "Screen recording" function to save the video, which we encourage you to try.

The usage on iPhone or Android is almost the same, so we will combine them into one explanation here.
- Launch TikTok and display the video you wish to save on the screen.
- Tap the "Share" icon in the lower right corner of the screen.

- The video will be automatically attached to an email and sent to you.
- Open the email and save the video on your device just like a normal video.
Although not directly, it is nice to be able to realize saving within the application.
