TikTok is a very popular social media app created in September 2016, and today, the app has over 2.5 billion installs. The app lets users interact with other users when they create, watch or share short videos on their mobile devices. On TikTok, you have access to a wide range of videos; you can watch funny, inspirational, educational videos, etc.
While it’s possible to save some videos on TikTok, not all videos can be saved. If the user turns off their download setting, the content can’t be saved. In such situations, you can save the video directly to your device via the inbuilt screen recording feature on iPhone and Android devices or via third-party apps on Windows devices.
