Once you’re done editing your video to your heart’s content, click the “Next” button on the screen. After this, you will be redirected to the upload settings page.

Here, there will be four options. Toggle the option that says “Save to device.” The video will be automatically saved to your phone once you publish your video.
How To Save Your TikTok Video Without Posting It
TikTok does not have this feature. It is unclear whether this feature will be added anytime soon. There is a way to save your video without anyone seeing it. Follow the steps below.
Step #1: Finish Creating Your Video
Similar to the previous section, finish filming and editing your video. Then, press the “Next” button to be redirected to the upload setting page.
Step #2: Locate the Privacy Settings of Your Video
On this screen, locate the button “Who can view my video.” The button can be found underneath the location tags and above the “Allow comments” option. Click on “Who can view my video” to continue.
Step #3: Change the Privacy Settings of Your Video
After accessing the privacy settings, you will be shown three options whether who can view your video. The first option is “Your fans,” meaning your TikTok followers, the second one is “Everyone,” meaning your followers and those who don’t follow you, and the last is “Private,” meaning only you can view your video. Change your video’s privacy settings to “Private.”
Step #4: Toggle “Save to device”
Again, similar to the previous section, make sure that you toggle “Save to device.” Once you post your video, it will automatically be saved to your camera roll.
Step #5: Post Your Video
After fixing all the settings, post your video. It should now be in your camera roll, and you can now choose to keep the video on your profile or delete it. The video would still be in your camera roll even if you take it down from your TikTok profile.
