1. Downloading Videos
Intuitively, one can download TikTok videos by simply tapping and holding on the video until options pop up to save the video, add it to favourites, and many more. Click on the Save Video option to download the Tikvideo on your device directly. From the same screen, you can also share the video on WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram and other social media platforms. Some videos are not available for download and thus, one can use a TikTok video downloader to do the job.
2. Using Sounds
After scrolling through a few videos, you may want to make a TikTok using a sound you previously saw used on a video. To do this, simply tap on the spinning disc at the bottom right of the video with the sound you like. A button at the middle bottom of the screen will appear that says “Use this sound”, allowing you to record a TikTok using it. You may also want to record a TikTok video first and then find the sound by searching for its name (this might be a bit tedious).
