How to Save TikTok Videos to Your iPhone

Step by step

1
Copy the video’s link
In TikTok, tap Share (the arrow on the right), then Copy link.
2
Paste it into FetchBolt in Safari
Open the TikTok downloader in Safari, tap the box and paste the link.
3
Download the MP4
Tap Download. When Safari asks, tap Download again. The video goes to Downloads in the Files app.
4
Save it to Photos
Open the Files app, go to Downloads, tap the video, then Share and Save Video.

Why not TikTok’s Save video button?

TikTok’s own Save video button re-encodes the clip with a moving logo and the creator’s username, and some creators turn saving off. FetchBolt saves the original upload, without the watermark.

If Safari doesn’t download

Open Settings, then Safari, then Downloads, and check a location is set. Make sure the video is public; private videos can’t be downloaded.

The tool for the job

Everything above uses the TikTok Video Downloader. MP4 without the watermark when TikTok provides one, the watermarked version as a fallback, and the sound as MP3.

Questions

Does the creator know I saved it?

No. Downloading through FetchBolt doesn’t notify anyone.

Can I save just the sound?

Yes, use the TikTok to MP3 page.

Does it work on iPad?

Yes, the steps are the same.
