There’s a tiktok download on safari use it instead the tiktok usernames won’t show

it’s called tiktok downloader looks like this just copy the link for the video paste it and it’ll ask for a download 1,2,or3 just pick whichever one and look at the top corner for that blue circle and press on it the video will show than just save it to camera roll

For me, my old Live Photo’s have sound and it works properly. The ones I recently saved tho work but the sound doesn’t work

yes same, the old ones have sound but the recent ones doesn’t and it annoys me

same problem here. I feel like TikTok may have purposefully done this as a response to IG limiting reach on Reels with the TikTok watermark. They’re making it harder to repurpose TikToks for IG and want to make sure that when you do they have their TikTok watermark.

The TikTok watermark still appear on the video even when we save as live photos. It just removes the username. All this time I always save as live photos because I don’t want my friend to see my username, too bad now there is no sound.

I’m also currently waiting on a repsonse. But I still save the Live Photo for the reduced watermark. Then save as video because sound works there. Then piece it together in iMovie. Annoying but Tiktok taking long to respond

hey, ahah I have been having the exact same problem oop. but if you go on the App Store and get “Savetok” you can easily download any video from tiktok with no watermark, even the videos that the creators don’t allow you to download :)

Hey, I’ve been having the exact same issue as you with live videos from tiktok and I can’t seem to fix it. If you’ve found a way already please let me know : )

have you found a way? because it’s really bothering me that the live photos i downloaded from tiktok don’t have sounds. :/
