Why Can’t I See My Liked Videos on TikTok?

Receiving notifications about likes on your videos is always exciting. The like button is a viewer’s way of letting a creator know that their post resonates with them. Hitting like also adds the video to the person’s Liked videos folder. If you’re asking, “Why can’t I see my liked videos on TikTok?” 

Let’s explore the possible causes and solutions!

TikTok Liked Videos Not Showing

Are your TikTok liked videos not showing? Whether you’re referring to videos you have liked or your posts and their likes, here are the three most likely reasons:

1. The original creator removed the video content or changed its audience/their privacy settings. 
2. TikTok removed the video in question due to a potential violation of Community Guidelines. 
3. You’re experiencing app issues. 

Let’s explore each of these more closely. 

Why Aren’t My Liked Videos Showing Up on TikTok? 

Why aren’t my liked videos showing up on TikTok? If you’re missing some favorite videos

in your Liked videos folder, the creator may have done any of the following:

• Deleted the video from TikTok. They may have taken it down because it’s no longer relevant or aligned with their interests. It’s also possible the creator deactivated their TikTok account. 
• Changed the video’s audience. The creator may have restricted the video’s audience to only their Friends or followers they’re following back. It’s also likely that they selected Only you as the audience, i.e., only the creator can view it. 
• Switched to a private account. This means all videos that were available to the public before are now only accessible to the creator’s followers. If you’re not yet following the creator, send them a Follow request. 

Why Won’t My Liked Videos on TikTok Load?

Why won’t my liked videos on TikTok load? If you’re missing your posts and engagement, TikTok may have removed them. 

TikTok maintains For You feed eligibility standards to guarantee a safe and positive experience for all users. The platform uses these standards to match users with content they might be interested in. These standards also help the algorithm identify content that may not be suitable for everyone. 

“We make ineligible for the FYF, and may also make harder to find in search, certain content that may not be suitable for a broad audience.” If your video didn’t meet eligibility standards, this may be why TikTok removed it.

The following types of posts may lead to content removal and even a temporary account suspension or permanent account ban:

• Hate speech and hateful behavior
• Harmful weight management behaviors
• Dangerous activities/challenges
• Nudity and body exposure
• Sexually suggestive content
• Shocking and graphic content
• Misinformation 
• Unoriginal content
• Fake engagement
• Gambling or alcohol/drug/tobacco use

Liked Videos on TikTok Not Updating

If your liked videos on TikTok are not updating, you may also be experiencing app or connectivity issues. Here are the most common issues that may cause failure of videos to update/load and quick fixes you can try:

• A full app cache. Clear your TikTok cache to improve app performance. 
• Incompatibility issues after an app update. If TikTok released a software update and your device did not install it automatically, you may experience problems with some features. Go to the Google Play Store/Apple App Store and then the TikTok app product page. Install the update if one is available. 
• TikTok downtime. If TikTok servers are down in your region, some features or the app may not load properly. Open your favorite browser to find out if TikTok is down. 
• Poor internet connection. A slow connection is one of the most common causes of slow loading times. Browse several other sites to see if you also have the same problem. Restart your modem, and turn your device’s WiFi connection off and back on. If you’re on the move, switch to data, then switch back to WiFi. 

If none of the fixes above work, try uninstalling and reinstalling your TikTok app. Note that when you uninstall the app, you will lose your TikTok drafts. Download them before uninstalling. If the problem persists, submit a report to TikTok.
