TikTok has a ton of video content and sometimes you may want to download TikTok videos to your devices. Downloading videos from TikTok allows you to watch your favorite content even when you aren't connected to the Internet. It also lets you share these files with others via your preferred sharing methods.
There are various ways to download TikTok videos on multiple devices.
Download TikTok Videos On Android
If you use an Android device, you have two ways to download TikTok videos onto your phone or tablet.
Using The TikTok App Itself
One way to download TikTok videos on Android is to use the official TikTok app. This method works for all the videos where the creator has enabled downloading.
Launch the TikTok app on your phone.
Find the video that you want to download.
You'll see a few options on the right sidebar. Tap on the option that has an arrow icon (it's for sharing the video).
On the following screen, you'll have several ways to share the selected video. Since you want to download this TikTok video, tap the Save video option.
Wait for the video to be downloaded to your device.

Using WhatsApp
Some videos on TikTok don't offer the download feature. However, there's a workaround to download those TikTok videos using WhatsApp.
Launch WhatsApp on your phone.

Make sure Instagram is installed on your iPhone and you're logged into your account.
Open the TikTok app on your iPhone.
Find the video you want to download.
Tap on the share icon on the right sidebar.
Select Instagram from the Share to menu to share your video on Instagram. It won't actually be posted in your profile.
The Instagram post mode will open. Tap Cancel at the top-left corner as you don't want to post anything.
Open the Photos app on your iPhone and you'll find your selected TikTok video downloaded there.
Using "Total files"
If you don't use Instagram and you want to download a download-disabled TikTok video to your iPhone, you can use the "Total files" file manager app to do it.
Open the App Store on your iPhone, search for Total files, and install it.
Launch the TikTok app on your iPhone.
Select the video that you want to download.
Tap on the share icon on the right sidebar.
Select Copy Link on the following screen to copy the link to your selected video.

Downloading TikTok videos on a computer doesn't require you to install any apps. All you need is access to the link for your video and you can download and save the video to your Windows or Mac computer.
