Like the video (click on the white heart).

You can also watch the clip a second time if you add it to Favorites.

How to find a liked video

On Tik Tok, you can see the video again if you like it. How to find a video you like:

The program makes it possible to upload your own and other people’s content, but where to look for it later? Videos are not saved in the profile itself. But the material is downloaded by default to the “Photos” folder of your smartphone. That is, you can find the video in the gallery of the device.

If you access the application via a PC, the file will be saved in the Downloads folder on your computer.

Find music from a clip

Sometimes the song from the video sinks into the soul so much that you want to put it on repeat. The name of the music you like can be found in several ways.

First:

Open the desired video.

Click on the link at the bottom of the screen (next to the melody icon). This is the name of a track that constantly moves to the left in a circle.

You will be taken to the song page. The name of the music and video of those people who used it will be released.

Second way:

Download the Shazam app.

Run the program.

Click on the button below the phrase “Shazam”.

Download TikTok and turn on the clip.

Return to the first application. The song name will appear on the screen.

Now make sure that the “Videos from people you follow” section is activated. If the signals do not come, then try updating the application or restarting the device.

Recognition of a person on video

Recently, Tik Tok began testing a new feature that will allow you to recognize a person from a video. It will be located on the right side of the screen above the author’s profile picture. The user only has to go to the “Search” section and drag the triangle to the desired part of the picture.
