There is nothing quite as annoying as finding a video that you want to watch on TikTok, and then finding that the app refreshes itself and the video you had paused on your screen has disappeared.
The fluidity of the For You page on TikTok means that content is constantly being refreshed and pushed down the algorithm in favour of the latest trend or viral video.
Which leaves us with one question… is there a way of navigating back to a video that has been lost in a screen refresh?
3 Steps to Rewatch a Lost TikTok Video
- Navigate to your profile page on TikTok and tap on the menu button in the top right hand corner, indicated by three horizontal lines
- Select ‘Settings and Privacy’ then ‘Activity Centre’ from the menu that appears
- Select ‘Watch History’
The grid of videos that will appear under ‘Watch History’ shows a comprehensive history of every TikTok video and post that has appeared on your screen. Whether you have watched the content or simply scrolled pas it, the aim of the ‘Watch History’ page is to provide a look at every video that TikTok has deemed relevant to your online experience.
While this grid of videos can be deleted, most users enjoy the benefits of being able to find videos that have been lost during a page refresh.
We hope this helps and ensures that you never lose a video that you wanted to watch again!
