With so many videos available on TikTok, it’s no wonder that many people would want to save videos from the platform and share with their friends.
As opposed to many other social media platforms, TikTok does allow users to download videos from its platform to their mobile devices, both on iOS and Android. While this feature is not available in plain sight, it is straightforward and easy to use.
That said, it’s important to note that this feature is not available for all videos. In such cases, you can use online video downloaders to save videos from TikTok.
