Have you ever spent hours crafting the ideal TikTok video
only to unintentionally delete it just before it went live? Or have you ever
discovered that a video you saved as a draft has vanished from your profile?
There are ways to retrieve lost TikTok drafts, so don't worry. In this article,
we'll look at how you may get your deleted or lost drafts back and avoid having
to redo all of your hard work.
Let's first examine the draft system on TikTok. A video is
saved on your device as a draft but is not yet posted to TikTok's servers. This
implies that your draft will be permanently lost if you delete the app or
misplace your device. Also, if TikTok crashes or your device runs out of
battery, your draft can be lost if you didn't save it before closing the
program.
Now, the first thing to do if you've lost a TikTok draft and
want to get it back is to look through your profile's "Drafts"
section. Open the TikTok app, then tap the "Me" icon in the bottom
right corner to accomplish this. After that, click the "Drafts" tab.
You can pick up editing your video if it's still there by just tapping on it.
If your draft isn't there, though, you'll need to look into other
possibilities.
A syncing problem is one reason your lost draft might have
disappeared. Your drafts might not be syncing between devices if you access
TikTok using more than one device, such as a phone and a tablet. Make sure you
are signed into the same TikTok account on all of your devices in order to fix
this. Then, check to see if your draft is still there by opening the app on the
device where it was last saved. If not, try exiting the app and re-entering it
to force a sync.
Checking to see if your deleted draft is still saved on your
device is an additional choice. You must use a file management program to
access your device's storage in order to accomplish this. Check to see if your
video is saved in a "TikTok" or "Douyin" folder. If so, all
you need to do is move it to a different folder on your device and give it a
new name to save it from being erased in the future.
You might have to use a data recovery app if your draft is
not on your device or in the "Drafts" area. These programs search the
storage of your device for deleted files and make an effort to retrieve them.
But, be warned that not all data recovery software works, and some of them can
even represent a security concern by gathering your personal data. Read reviews
before utilizing any apps you download, and only download reliable programs from
reliable sources.
When it comes to preventing lost TikTok drafts, prevention
is always the best course of action. While editing, be sure to save your draft
periodically, and as a backup, think about exporting it to your device's camera
roll. Avoid removing the app or cleaning its cache as well because doing so
will also remove your drafts.
To sum up, it can be frustrating to lose a TikTok draft, but
there are ways to get it back. Examine your profile's "Drafts" area,
make sure device synchronization is enabled, search your smartphone's storage
for the video, and as a last resort, think about utilizing a data recovery app.
Yet prevention is everything, so be careful to constantly save your documents
and think about exporting them as a backup. TikToking away!
