How Do You Add Favorites on TikTok?
While browsing TikTok, you often see something you like: a sound, a hashtag, an effect, or a TikTok video. And you’d want to keep them close so you can maybe use them later. Not judging…
Well, you can totally do that with the Favorites function. To start, find a video you like on TikTok:
Once you open the video’s main page, find the three-dot icon located on the right-hand sidebar, and then tap it.
A new menu will open up (look below).
The “Add to Favorites” option is first on the list, so tap it.
Alternatively, if the three-dot option doesn’t appear, you need to tap on the Share Icon and select “Add to Favorites (see below).
You can also add hashtags, sounds, and posts to your favorites using the same method.
Search on your TikTok app, and look for anything you need, then add them to your Favorites, and that’s it.
You could add sounds to your favorites, for instance. Select one of them, and it’ll take you to the hashtag’s main page.
You can tap “Add to favorites” to add the entire hashtag to your favorites, and you’ll be able to access them later on.
The same goes for sounds, effects, and products. and almost anything else on TikTok.
