Next, you should have arrived on the posting page for the draft video. Select the “Who can watch this video” option, and a menu will appear (as seen in the picture above).

Check the “Only me” option (highlighted above) to make the video private when you post it.

4. Enable “Save to device”

All that’s left is to post the video by tapping on the red “Post” button in the bottom-right corner. Don’t worry, the video won’t be public.

Remember, you selected the “Only me” visibility option, making the video private.

Once you post the video, it’ll also be saved to your device at the same time.

Conclusion

Videos are the bread and butter of TikTok, which is to say that they’re an essential part of the platform.

But what if you want to share a video with some friends? Or if you don’t want to post a video publicly on TikTok and only want to save it to your gallery?

TikTok lets you do that, but the way to do that is ambiguous.

First, go to your Profile – Draft Videos – select the video you want to save – make it private – enable “save to device,” – Post the video.

If you make the video private before you post it, no one will be able to see it.

And if you enable “save to device” before posting the video, it’ll be saved in your gallery automatically once you post it.

That’s it. Got any questions? Leave them below and I’ll be sure to reply soon!
