TikTok favorites collection: How do I organize it?
This process is fairly straightforward, although it can time consuming. Especially if you have a large number of favorites to add, you can choose the name of your playlist, and it will be shown on your profile. You can include your own content on there, which of course, increases views.
Unfortunately, you cannot add private videos to a playlist as this is supposed to be used to make your profile more engaging. However, if you have a personal profile, only those who follow you will see these favorites.
The feature is excellent for those who make series’ such as makeup tutorials, collaborations with brands, or even pet videos. The idea behind the playlist encourages users to stay on your profile for longer. Not only do they get to know you but also what you might like.
Where has my favorites folder gone?
On Reddit, various threads are advising of the issue of their TikTok favorites folder disappearing. As avid TikTok users will know, taking the time to organize your favorites into folders can be time consuming. So when they disappear, users are finding it annoying. After all, many users spend hours organizing their favorites. TikTok doesn’t appear to have released a fix for this yet.
One user advised that deleting the app and redownloading it again fixes the issue for them. However, they do also recommend you sometimes need to do this repeatedly, with users claiming they’ve done up to 30 times before they had success with this method.
Another user advised clicking create a new account, following the steps to create an account, then the new account had folders. They signed out of this account, went on to their normal one, and the folders were back.
Although this isn’t an ideal fix, TikTok users do seem to have some success with the above methods.
Can people see your favorites on TikTok?
No, the TikTok favorites folder is a private feature and therefore accessible only to you. If you’re looking to hide your likes from the public, making your account private only shows the likes to those who you allow to follow you.
