Looks like you can’t save TikTok videos from the App. Here’s how to download TikTok videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever found yourself enjoying TikTok, just to find out that the video you want to save and watch later doesn\u2019t actually allow you to save it? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If so, don\u2019t feel too bad about it. TikTok provides its users with the ability to download their favorite videos from their library on TikTok. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, not every video can be download using the TikTok app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, we would explore why you sometimes can’t save videos from TikTok and how to actually download some videos using the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We would also delve into how to download videos that can’t be saved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, you will discover practical fixes when TikTok videos are not downloading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s dive in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why you Can’t Save or Download TikTok Videos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

By default, TikTok allows you to download videos by saving them to your mobile device. However, there are some instances when you cannot download some videos. Here are some things to look out for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. There is a Problem with Your Internet Connection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Check your internet connection. A lot of times, people think their internet is working fine when it’s not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re trying to save or download a video from Tiktok and it’s not working, it might be because your internet connection isn’t strong enough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you’re trying to download a video, it has to load the entire thing before it can start downloading, so if your connection is slow, it might take a while or even time out before it can start. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may see an error message on the TikTok app, such as “No Network Connection.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, videos are usually large files, so if your connection is weak, it might not be able to handle downloading such a big file. If you’re having trouble saving or downloading videos from Tiktok, try again when you have a stronger internet connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Your Storage Space is not Enough<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One other reason why you might not be able to save or download videos from TikTok is that you don’t have enough memory space on your device. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you try to download a video, the app will first check to see if there’s enough space on your phone or tablet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If there isn’t, you’ll get an error message saying insufficient memory space. Another reason could be that the video is too large. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The maximum file size for videos on TikTok is 72 MB for Android phones and 287.6 MB for iPhones. If the video you’re trying to download is larger than that, you’ll need to delete some other files from your device to make room for it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Download is Restricted by the Video Creator<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the reasons you can’t save or download videos from TikTok is because of restrictions by the owner of the video or whoever uploaded it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you record a video on TikTok, you give the app a non-exclusive, fully paid and royalty-free, worldwide license (with the right to sublicense) to use, copy, modify, adapt, and prepare derivative works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So if you’re wondering why you can’t save or download that particular video from TikTok, it’s because the creator of the video has disabled downloads. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is likely because they don’t want their content to be downloaded and redistributed without their permission. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it’s frustrating, it’s important to respect the creators’ wishes. As you continue to read this article, we would explore ways to download videos with such restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. There’s a Bug in the TikTok App<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you’re trying to save or download a video from TikTok and it’s not working, it might be because of a bug in the app. Sometimes these bugs can be fixed by updating the app to the latest version. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other times, you may need to uninstall and reinstall the app. If neither of these solutions works, then the problem may be on TikTok’s end and there’s nothing you can do about it except wait for them to fix it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How to Download or Save TikTok Videos Without the App<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Here are three methods to download TikTok Videos that can’t be saved:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Method 1: Use a Third-Party App<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    If you are looking for a way to download a TikTok video without the app, chances are the TikTok video is allowing you to save it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The video could be set to private, or any of the factors we discussed above could be preventing you from doing that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The good news is that there are other apps developed by independent developers for seamlessly downloading TikTok videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
