TikTok drafts: How to save, edit, and delete drafts on TikTok – Dexerto

Recording, saving, and editing tiktok drafts are relatively simple processes, and knowing how to use drafts to your advantage can make managing your tiktok content much easier.

tiktok, the short form video app, is the place to be when it comes to sharing and consuming a wide variety of viral content online. Some stars like Charli D’Amelio and Bella Poarch have built entire careers off of their success on the platform, and that makes it an attractive option for people looking to share their own content with the world.

tiktok’s drafts feature makes it easy for creators to edit and preview their content, allowing them to work on their videos regularly, long before they decide to publish them.

here’s how to navigate tiktok drafts.

how to save tiktok drafts to camera roll

After shooting a draft, you may want to keep the footage you shot, but not necessarily publish it. there’s no direct option to save drafts to your camera roll, but luckily there is a way to save the footage you’ve shot.

1. Open your drafts folder and select the video you want to save. click ‘next’ to proceed to the options.
2. where it says “who can see this video”, change it to “only me”.
3. under more options, make sure the “save to device” option is turned on.
4. tap “post” to post your video.
5. check your camera roll and your video should be there.

alternatively, if you want to save your draft without the tiktok watermark:

1. open the draft you want to save.
2. click the thumbnail of the video to preview it.
3. tap the square in the upper right corner to remove the options, so you can only watch your video.
4. Use your device’s screen recording feature to record the video and save it to your camera roll. (note: there will still be some buttons visible when using this method, so your video won’t be totally clear.)

In February, some users also reported that they had received access to a download button on the editing screen that allows them to save videos they have recorded on their device without a watermark. this feature has not yet been rolled out to everyone, but it might be available soon.

how to delete drafts on tiktok

It’s easy to start collecting a lot of drafts if you keep shooting videos without posting them, which could take up space on your phone. luckily deleting drafts on tiktok is simple.

1. Go to the drafts tab on your profile page.
2. Tap ‘select’ in the upper right corner.
3. select the videos you want to delete.
4. Tap ‘delete’ at the bottom of the screen. press delete again on the popup to confirm.
