TL;DR: You can't.

But no rush to close the tab. In this article, we'll also cover how to restrict your TikTok videos from saving, download TikTok videos from outside TikTok, and uncover if TikTok notifies you when someone screen records your video.

Does TikTok Tell You Who Saved Your Video?

Although TikTok themselves know who watches and downloads your videos, they won't share this knowledge with you.

TikTok's AI-powered algorithm can detect users' activity, meaning it knows who viewed their accounts and saved their videos. TikTok monitors this activity to track users' analytics and give them relevant insights.

Yet, owing to privacy concerns, TikTok doesn't share this data, nor the one about who viewed your TikTok profile.

Can Anyone Save My TikTok Videos?

Yes, unless you restricted your videos from being saved by anyone in your privacy settings or made your account private. If you opt for the first method, it's unnecessary to make your account private – everyone who is not your followers will still discover your content but won't be able to save it.

Note, however, that your content, even restricted from being downloaded within TikTok, can still be saved with third-party TikTok viewers and downloaders.

How to Restrict Users from Saving Your TikTok Videos

If you want to limit the access that lets the entire TikTok community download your videos, you can do so in the TikTok settings.

Method 1: Turn your TikTok account private

Note that if you prefer this way, it may decrease your account's performance since your views will drop right away. If your TikTok account's growth is not your priority, follow these steps:

  1. Open your TikTok profile and head to the burger menu at the top right corner of your screen.

  2. Select Settings and privacy.

  1. Find Privacy under Account and click on it.

  2. Toggle the Private account option.

Here you go!

Method 2: Prohibit your TikTok videos download

This method should be preferable if you want your videos to be discovered by TikTok users. Here's how you can do that:

  1. Open your profile on the TikTok app.

  2. Click the burger menu and select Settings and privacy.

  3. Select Privacy.

  4. Find Downloads and click on it.

  5. Turn the Video download off.

This is how you restrict the permission to save your TikTok videos. However, they can still be shared on other social media platforms.

How to Save TikTok Videos

Even if they are restricted from saving by the creators.

There are multiple ways to save a TikTok video even if it is prohibited from being downloaded – TikTok viewing and downloading solutions, online downloaders, and screen recording are just a few to name.

We have recently covered this in a single article, so if you want to dive deeper into the matter, check this one out.

Does TikTok Notify You When Someone Screen Records Your Videos?

The answer is no, TikTok doesn't notify creators upon your lurking in their content.

Does TikTok Know What Videos You Download?
