TikTok allows users to view the videos other users have “Liked” on the video-sharing platform. However, users have the option to hide the videos they’ve liked if they don’t want other users to be able to see them.

Our guide will show you how to change who can see the videos you’ve liked from within the TikTok mobile application.
