Summary: TikTok popularity has significantly increased in the last couple of years, and it continued to surge. Have you ever thought about what will happen to your videos created through TikTok getting deleted or lost? Don’t worry! This post will help to get your deleted TikTok videos back.

Owing to TikTok’s surging popularity, an increasing number of brands are showing willingness to collaborate with TikTok influencers. So, if you are an influence there is a high probability you may get approached by them.

Whether you are looking for brand partnership, or enjoy having a huge fan base with a good number of likes and comments on your TikTok videos, you need to be ready for the inevitable.

What if on one fine day, you have accidentally deleted your TikTok videos?

Now, before you dwell on the misery of losing your TikTok videos, check out the methods discussed below that may help you get back your deleted TikTok videos.

Restore Deleted TikTok Videos from Backup, if Available

The first place you should look for deleted TikTok videos is in the backup. It may seem obvious, but we often overlook checking the backup files. Probably, you may have set your phone to automatically upload videos to the default photos app, such as Android’s Google Photos app or iOS Photos app.

If you haven’t backed up your videos, try using the next method to recover deleted TikTok videos.

Did you know that Skype archives your chats and stores them locally on your computer (if you activate the option)? Even if you delete these messages from your computer, they can still be recovered by data recovery software.

Recover Your Liked Videos on TikTok

NOTE: This method will only work on your liked videos on TikTok. Keep in mind, that only the videos set to Public (visible to everyone) can be liked. You cannot recover Private videos.

Follow these steps to restore your liked videos on TikTok:

Open your TikTok application.

Open your TikTok profile, by clicking the person icon placed at the bottom right corner of your application.

On your TikTok profile, you will see a “Heart” icon. Click the ‘Heart’ icon to open your liked videos on TikTok.

From the screen that appears, click on the deleted video.

Next, tap on the three dots (highlighted in the screenshot below) in the top right corner of your TikTok profile page.

Click on ‘Save video’ option. You will now be able to see your deleted TikTok videos in your device’s gallery.

Recover deleted TikTok videos with Android Data Recovery software

If you had saved your TikTok videos on your Android Phone or Phone’s SD card, and accidentally deleted them, you can easily recover deleted videos by using Stellar Data Recovery for Android software. This Android data recovery software helps recover all types of data including digital multimedia files such as photos, videos, and audio clips from any Android Phone, SD card, Micro SD card, etc.

Stellar Data Recovery for Android software recovers all kinds of data from any Android Phone including videos lost by accidental deletion, corruption, formatting, or inaccessible SD cards.

Steps to Recover Deleted Videos from SD Card by using Stellar Data Recovery for Android Software

A word of caution: Stop using the SD card immediately after a data loss incident (such as video deletion) to prevent permanent data loss and video file corruption due to potential overwriting.

Download, install, and launch the trial* version of Stellar Data Recovery for Android software on your PC.

Connect the mobile phone’s memory card to your computer.

Select the type of data you want to recover & click Next.

Conclusion

This post clearly explained how you could easily restore your deleted TikTok videos from the backup. Or, you can simply get the videos back from your TikTok profile page, but, this solution has a limitation as you can recover only the liked videos.

If you’ve accidentally deleted your TikTok videos stored in your Android internal memory or phone’s SD card and there’s no backup, using Stellar Data Recovery for Android software can help you restore the deleted TikTok videos in a hassle-free manner.

  Hi Frank, We would like to inform you that you can try our software demo version if our demo version shows the repair files then Stellar Photo Recovery Premium software works. That means the files will be repaired in the same manner as you were able to see them in the preview window after the scanning is complete.
