What Are The Features of TikTok Offline Videos?
It’s easier to manually download TikToks and watch them offline later. This feature enables you to download anywhere between 50 and 200 videos at a go so that you can watch them offline whenever you deem fit.
Watching TikTok videos offline is also another way to help you save your mobile data. So, they can come in handy when you don’t have an internet connection (for instance, when you’re in transit on a flight).
How To Download TikToks For Offline Viewing
The first thing to do is check if you have the offline videos feature on TikTok. To do this:
- Click the hamburger icon.
- Choose Settings and Privacy.
- Go to Cache & Cellular. If you have this offline videos feature, you’ll see it there.
- Get online and check the Offline videos.
- Then select between 50, 100, 150, and 200 videos. Afterward, click the Download button and TikTok will save the selected number of videos from your FYP.
After you download the TikToks for offline viewing, go offline and launch the app. Then open the Offline videos – where your video bundles are downloaded. Now, you can view these videos without being connected to the internet and whenever you deem fit.
However, if you want to download more TikToks for offline viewing, you must come online again. So, while on the Offline videos interface, you can turn off the Download over Wi-Fi settings. Then save more TikTok videos with your mobile data.
To view these new videos, you can either choose Offline videos on the same interface, pick a different video bundle, and click the Download icon. TikTok will include these new videos in your offline videos list.
Or, you can download new videos by deleting your existing downloads by tapping Clear on the Offline videos interface. Then start afresh. Immediately after you empty your storage, click the Download Offline Videos button. This will display the bundle options for you to choose again.
Why You Should Use TikTok’s Offline Videos Feature
The TikTok offline videos feature allows you to download bundles of videos online and watch them offline without an internet connection. While this may sound appealing to you, there are some other things you should know before using this feature.
1. You cannot select the videos to download.
TikTok randomly selects videos to download for offline use when you ask it to download a batch of videos. If you usually find your TikTok video content intriguing, then you might as well love the videos downloaded.
On the flip side, if you generally don’t find your video recommendations interesting, you might as well not enjoy the videos downloaded. So, you’d want to consider manually downloading the TikTok videos you love.
Another option you can consider is changing your TikTok FYP, which will improve your recommended videos. And your Offline videos will look more intriguing.
2. No disturbance from ads
Ads don’t add up as videos when you download bundles of TikToks for offline viewing. Therefore, the particular number of videos you request TikTok to download is what you will get; no disturbance from adverts. It’s one unique benefit of this feature.

3. The videos are saved on the TikTok app
When you use the offline videos feature to download TikToks for offline viewing, the video is saved on the app’s storage space on your mobile phone. That way, all your offline TikTok content is in a specific place. So, you can easily access them anytime you want and discard the ones you don’t want.
Note that the app will consume more storage space on your device as you keep downloading more videos. So, you may want to first consider checking the storage space your phone can accommodate before downloading a video bundle.
In addition, you can monitor your device’s storage space by navigating to Settings and Privacy. Then choose Offline videos > Free up space. On this interface, you’ll see the amount of space TikTok occupies on your device and the amount of space left for you to use. You may want to clear your downloads to free up some space.
4. There are limited video functions in offline mode
Watching TikTok videos offline limits you from engaging or reacting to the content. While the offline viewing experience lets you make comments in the comment box and Like the video, these reactions won’t sync with the TikTok app until you come online again. Also, the offline mode allows you to see the background music and the creator’s basic information.
Besides these, you cannot download or share a video from your offline videos. You also can’t save it to your favorites. When next you’re connected to the internet, these functions will begin to work again except the Share function. The Share function is not available for downloaded videos.
Bottom Line
Now you’re all set to combat boredom with lots of laughter, creativity, and entertainment! With TikTok’s offline video feature, you can enjoy your favorite content anytime, anywhere, without worrying about data usage or lack of internet connection. So, download away, and happy viewing!
Again, to keep your storage space organized, always delete videos you’ve already watched and make room for new ones! Additionally, revisit the “Offline videos” section within the TikTok app’s settings to manage your downloaded content.
You can easily add new videos or remove ones you no longer want. This helps in curating your offline library to perfectly suit your mood or interests. Now you can leverage TikTok’s offline feature to its full potential, ensuring you’re never without a dose of TikTok fun, even when you’re offline.
