Why did your TikTok liked videos disappear?
Reason #1: TikTok liked videos violated some guidelines
One of the main reasons why your TikTok liked videos disappeared or are not updating or showing is because they might have violated some of TikTok’s guidelines.
The videos that violate TikTok’s guidelines are permanently deleted, removed from the platform or their reach is reduced.
Thus, it is possible that a liked video you had on TikTok went through some sort of guideline violation and was removed by the platform moderators.
Reason #2: Videos you liked are now private, deleted or unavailable
It is possible that the reason behind your TikTok liked videos disappearing was because the video has now been made private, deleted or simply unavailable to you right now.
The creator who posted the TikTok video can set it to private so that no one can be able to view it or they may have deleted it as well.
Reason #3: Known Issue of TikTok liked videos limit
Now, this one is not a confirmed development but TikTok users have a theory that there is a limit of how many liked videos can be seen on your profile at the same time.
TikTok does not confirm that there is a limit but users believe that there is a limit to liked videos appearing on your profile.
In our study, it seems to be true as well because when liked videos exceed a certain number then the previous liked videos disappear from TikTok.

How to Fix TikTok Liked Videos Disappeared, Not Showing, Saving or Updating
As we mentioned earlier, there are a number of reasons why your TikTok liked videos disappeared, are not showing, saving or updating on yours or anyone else’s profile.
However, we are going to share a few methods down below which will help you in solving the issue of TikTok liked videos disappearing if it was due to a glitch from TikTok’s end.
1. Check TikTok Server Status
The first thing you need to do is to check if TikTok’s servers are working fine or not because that could be a possible reason behind your TikTok liked videos disappearing.
If there are issues with TikTok’s servers, it is not possible to access your Liked videos as well as other videos on the feed.
To check if TikTok servers are working fine or not, go to DownDetector and they have a dedicated TikTok server page which you can visit from here.
After that, check if the TikTok servers are having problems or not.
If the servers are working fine then you can try the other solutions but if they are having problems then you just need to wait for when the servers come back online.
2. Allow others to see your Liked Videos
One thing we have observed is that people have started to not allow others to see their liked videos for privacy reasons.
You might see the message “This user’s liked videos are private” when you go to their liked videos tab on their profile.
This is because that particular user has set their liked videos privacy settings to “Only Me” which means only they can see their own liked videos and no one else.
If your liked videos have also been set to “Only Me” but you want everyone to see your liked videos then you can do in the following manner:
- Open TikTok and then choose Me which will be seen in the bottom bar of your app and then click on three-dot menu at the top.
- After that, click on Settings and Privacy option and select Privacy.
- Under Safety, select Liked Videos and then under the “Who can watch your liked videos” section, you can select Everyone instead of Only Me.
Unfortunately, if someone has set their privacy settings for liked videos to “only me” instead of everyone then you wont be able to see their liked videos.
3. Test your Internet Connection
Once you have checked the TikTok server status and also set your privacy settings to everyone, you now need to check your internet connection.
To check for your internet speed and if it is working fine or not, go to Fast.com and the site will start checking your internet upload/download speed on its own.
After you get the internet speed results, make sure that your speedtest shows that you have more than 5Mbps of download speeds for TikTok to work properly otherwise the videos won’t be loading properly.

To remove TikTok’s in-app cache, follow these steps:
- Open TikTok app and choose Me from the bottom bar and then tap on three-dot menu to select Settings and Privacy.
- After that, click on Clear Cache and your in-app cache will be cleared.
After this, close the TikTok app and restart it to make sure that all the issues are gone and see if the Liked videos are showing up again or not.
5. Reinstall the TikTok app
One of the best solutions to fix the TikTok liked videos disappeared problem is to remove the TikTok app from your device and install it again to make sure that all the issues are now fixed.
- If you are using an Android or iOS device, you simply need to long-press the TikTok app icon and you will see a list of options.
- From these options, click on Uninstall or Delete App to remove the app from your device.
- After that, go to Google Play Store or Apple App Store for Android and iOS respectively and then search for TikTok to install the app to your phone again.
- Once the app is installed, open it and login with your credentials and see if the liked videos are appearing back or not.
6. Check TikTok from another device or web browser
If you have tried to reinstall the TikTok app and your liked videos are still not showing up then you need to try browsing TikTok from a different device or web browser.
Since TikTok is available from its website as well, you can open your PC and open any web browser such as Google Chrome and just type the TikTok URL.
Once the website loads, login with your account credentials and see if your liked videos appear or not.
Similarly, you can try to install the TikTok app on a different device and browse the TikTok feed as well as your account to see your liked videos.
7. Add your Liked Videos to Favorites
Earlier, there used to be two options for TikTok users who want to have their liked videos saved on their device.
The first option was to like their favorite videos by clicking the heart icon or double-tapping anywhere on the screen.
The second option was to download the video if available so that the video can be stored on your device.
However, we now have a third option to save your favorite videos and this is via the “Add to favorites” button.
By clicking on the Share button, you can click on Add to favorites and the video will be saved to your favorites list.
To access these videos which are added to favorites, you can go to your Profile and click on Bookmark Icon and your videos will be visible there.
