TikTok does a great job at providing a large amount of data analytics to assist content creators in understanding how their content is performing. A part of this is being able to see who saved your TikTok posts.
Whenever someone views a video on the popular social media app, they are provided with several options, including saving it. By saving a post, they are essentially bookmarking it and adding it to a special Favorites section on their account. If you don’t want to save a video directly to your camera roll, saving it is an alternative option that does not take up any storage space.
In this article, we will go over how to see who saved your TikTok video so you can glean helpful insights into how well your content is doing.
How TikTok Privacy Settings Work
TikTok provides three different privacy settings for user accounts and their content. These are:
- Public – Posts are viewable by everyone on TikTok and anyone can engage with them
- Friends – Posts are only viewable by pre-approved followers and everyone else must request to follow the account
- Private – All posts are private and only viewable to the account owner
How to See Who Saved Your TikTok Videos
While there is no direct way to see who has saved your video posts on TikTok, there are several indirect methods you can try out. The following are the most common tactics used by content creators to determine who is saving their videos:
Reviewing Followers and Following Lists
You can find suggestive evidence of who is saving your videos by reviewing who is following you, as well as who you are following.
You can narrow down who is saving your videos if you have a friends-only profile, since only those friends have the ability to access your content.
The following are steps you can take to review your Followers and Following lists:
- Open the TikTok app
- Tap on the Profile icon to get taken you your profile page to see Followings and Following tabs
- Tap on the Followers tab to view everyone following your account, and the Following tab to view everyone you follow
- Go through these two lists to identify anyone likely to save your videos
As you can tell, this tactic will not provide many specifics as to who is saving your posts. However, it could give you a vague idea.
Interact With Your Audience
You can also engage with your fans and followers to determine who is saving your content on TikTok.
Get into a habit of replying to comments people leave on your posts. The chances that someone commenting on your posts is saving them are high, especially if they are regularly engaging with your videos.
As you develop closer relationships with your followers, you may even notice that your fans are directly telling you they are saving your posts. As with the method earlier, it is not an exact science.
Look at Your TikTok Analytics
TikTok provides additional analytics for Pro and Business accounts. If you don’t have this type of account, you may want to consider switching over to leverage the analytics the app provides for content creators.
As with the other methods mentioned so far, TikTok will not show you specific people who saved your posts. However, you will receive more data about who your viewers are.
Take the following steps to access TikTok Analytics:
- Open the TikTok app
- Head to your profile by tapping on the profile icon at the bottom of the screen
- Tap on the hamburger menu (three horizontal lines) in the right-hand side of the page
- Tap on Analytics
From the analytics page, you will be able to see a wealth of data for your videos. Although details on specific viewers is unavailable, you can still glean enough data to craft your future content in a way that is more engaging with your audience, resulting in more saves.
View the Likes on Your Videos
Another method to find suggestive evidence of users saving your TikTok videos is to look through the list of people who liked them. As with every method, there is no guarantee that someone who liked your video also saved it. However, it will provide an idea of who may have done so.
Follow these steps to use this method:
- Open the TikTok app
- Go to the video post you want to know more about regarding who saved it
- Tap on the heart icon to view the list of people who liked your post
While you are reviewing the list of who liked the video, you can also look to see if someone appears on other posts you made as having liked the video. Chances are higher that they are also saving your posts.
Conclusion
You can now see that it is a bit challenging to determine how to see who saved your TikTok videos. The best TikTok currently provides is a few methods that can narrow down who may have saved your videos. These are indirect methods, but they are better than nothing. When you gather as much data and insights as possible, you can more fully understand your fans and how they engage with your content.
