No, you can’t see who saved your TikTok videos; the app doesn’t send you any notifications when someone downloads your videos. You also don’t get a notification when someone screen records your videos.

Are you interested in finding out who saves or downloads your TikTok videos? Do you want to know if TikTok sends a notification when someone screen records your videos? Here’s everything you need to know.

Does TikTok Let You See Who Saves Your Videos?

No, TikTok does not let you see who saves your videos. Anyone can download your videos to their phone, and you won’t know who has done it.

If you want to download someone’s video and are worried they’ll know about it, don’t be. TikTok creators can see in their analytics how many times their videos were downloaded, but they can’t see exactly who made those downloads. However, they can see who likes and favorites their videos. If you’ve both enabled profile views, they will also see that you visited their profile.

Does TikTok Notify You When Someone Screen Records Your Videos?

No, TikTok does not notify you when someone screen records your videos. Someone can start recording their iPhone screen or Android screen while watching your videos and make copies of your videos, and you won’t receive any sort of notification.

How to Prevent People From Downloading Your TikTok Videos

If you’d like to prevent people from saving your TikTok videos, the app offers an option to turn off the download option for your content. It’s on by default, but turning it off removes the save option for your videos, stopping people from downloading your videos.

To do that for your TikTok account, open the TikTok app on your phone and select “Profile” in the bottom bar.

Tap

In your profile page’s top-right corner, tap the hamburger menu (three horizontal lines) and choose “Settings and Privacy.”

Select

Head into the Privacy> Downloads menu. Here, turn off the “Video Downloads” option to prevent people from saving your videos.

Turn off

Unfortunately, this won’t stop anyone from screen recording your TikTok videos. If you want to prevent all copying of your video, your only option is to hide or delete your TikTok videos.
