How to Know If Someone Took a Screenshot of Your TikTok Post – Guide
Social media sites offer users privacy features to protect their profile photos and posts from other users. However, these measures won’t stop people from accessing your data - they can still take screenshots or download images through a web browser.
Users of web browsers can take screenshots of Facebook without any restrictions, unlike those using the mobile app, where such a feature is blocked.
Changing privacy settings in TikTok
TikTok videos can be discovered by anyone with access to the app, not just followers. This means that even if a creator isn’t trying to go viral, their videos can still be seen and downloaded by a large number of people.
TikTok users can now protect their content from being downloaded by followers. To do so, they should go to Profile, tap the gear icon, select Privacy & Security > Allow download and switch the Off button. This will prevent followers from downloading videos when they play Share.
You can limit who can react and comment on your videos by changing the settings to “Friends” instead of “Everyone.” However, it’s important to note that even if you switch video download to “Off,” some apps may still be able to access your video using a specific URL.
To protect your TikTok account, make sure to limit who can view your content. Go to Privacy & Security > Private Account and enable the option to hide new uploads from the public and only allow followers to see them. Require new users to request permission before they can follow you and view your content.
Try TikTok Lite to see how your profile and videos appear to others after recent changes.
