Find Your Favorites

1
Tap the Profile tab in TikTok. If you're looking for videos, sounds, effects, and other content you've already added to your favorites, start by tapping the profile icon at the bottom-right corner of TikTok.
2
Tap the bookmark icon. This icon is in the row of 4 icons just below the "Edit profile" button. The one you're looking for looks like a bookmark with an eye over it. This displays all the TikTok videos you've saved to your Favorites.
- The Favorites icon used to be a larger bookmark at the top of your profile. Now it's down a little further in a less-obvious place.
- You can also check all the videos you have liked by tapping the heart icon on your profile.

Tap any of these tabs to explore your saved favorites by category.
- You'll also see tabs for other types of favorites, including Places, Comments, Questions, Hashtags, and Products.

Add to Favorites

You can add just about anything on TikTok to your favorites so it's easy to find later. Favorites are especially great because unlike the videos you've liked, which other TikTok users can see by default, your favorites are totally private.^{[1]
