Many applications, including the most popular social networks, they don't let you download the videos hosted on your platform. For this you have to resort to third-party apps or to record the screen, with the loss of quality that this entails, added to the compression of the social network that is, you end up losing too much. But TikTok, a relatively new app for short videos, allows you to download videos that are not yours natively.
TikTok, formerly known as Musica.ly and one of the apps most used by young people, change that and let you download the videos, in fact, you don't even need a TikTok account to save the videos, unless the user block your video downloads. Well, in case you have any doubts, we are going to show you how to download TikTok videos.
The easy way
The easiest way to do it is as follows: Hold down in the center of the screen and three options appear, one of them is Save video. You click and it is saved to your gallery, without any further complications. Simple right?
It is not always active, despite this it appeared in some clips of the accounts we follow, if you see it appear it will be downloaded directly from the TikTok server. The download will take place in a few seconds and it does so in the normal output, which is usually in MP4 format.
If you do not appear active on TikTok in the following way, you always have the option of looking for an alternative, media such as apps and pages are very good right now, and they also stop choosing the output quality. Natively there are several clips that you will download and whenever you see the option.
The long way
This does not add anything new with respect to the previous one, they are simply preferences, so we share it with you so that you can choose the one you like the most. This version consists of hit the button to share the video, located on the lower right side of the screen. Once there it will allow you to choose where you want to send it or the option to save the video. You click and it will also be saved in your default photo app.
It is similar to the previous one, the process is different, having to go through the share button in the TikTok app, then once you see the button, click on download, waiting for the top window in the notification area again. The application will not always show this, at least after testing it in 2023, which will be active in accounts with "x" users.
Saving even the ones with download blocking
If you don't see the option to save video with neither of the two previous ways is that the user has blocked the downloads from their account, in this case you cannot download the video from the application, but we can do it with third-party apps.
For this we can use Video Downloader for Tik Tok, an app that allows you to download any TikTok video, It can be done by pasting the link to the application and saving it in your gallery, or with automatic download when you browse TikTok.
We offer you the option, but making use of it is up to you, after all, if the user has blocked downloads, it will be for something.
And if you are the one who is worried about downloading the videos with this tactic, you only have to make the account private and accept who you know.
