How to Hide Videos on TikTok

If you want to delete a video you’ve posted on TikTok, you’ll usually delete it.

However, instead of deleting the video, you can hide it from your TikTok profile.

On social media platforms like Instagram, you can hide your posts by archiving them.

Post archiving moves it from your feed to your archive.

As such, your followers won’t be able to see that post on your feed.

This is a great alternative to deleting your posts because you can show it back on your feed if you change your mind.

While you can’t host a video on TikTok, there is a way to hide it from your profile.

In this guide, you will learn how to hide videos on TikTok to prevent others from viewing them.

How to hide videos on TikTok

To hide a video on TikTok, you need to change the video’s privacy setting from “Everyone” to “Private”.

Once you’ve changed a video’s privacy setting to “Private”, the video will be hidden from your feed.

Only you can access it through the “lock” icon on your profile.

Your followers won’t be able to see a specific video you’ve set to “Private” on your profile.

The “Private” option is similar to the “Archive” option on Instagram.

Here is a step-by-step guide on how you can hide videos on TikTok (with screenshots).

1. Navigate to the video and tap the three dots

Open TikTok > navigate to the video you want to hide > three dots.

To hide TikTok videos, you need to change the video’s privacy setting to “Private”.

You can find the privacy settings by tapping the three dots on the left sidebar of the video.

First, open TikTok on your mobile device.

Then navigate to your profile and the video you want to hide.

Once you’ve found the video you want to hide, tap it to watch it.

On the right sidebar, you’ll see a profile icon, a comment icon, and a three-dot icon.

Tap the three dots below the comment icon.

In the next step, you will learn where the privacy settings are located.

2. Tap “Privacy Settings”

Scroll to the right of the navigation menu > Privacy settings.

After you tap the three-dot icon, a navigation menu will be opened.

On the navigation menu, there are many sharing options like WhatsApp, Messages, Instagram etc.

Below the sharing icons, you will see many options.

Scroll to its extreme right until you find an option that says “Privacy Settings”.

Tap “Privacy Settings” to access the video privacy settings.

In the next few steps, you’ll learn how to edit your privacy settings to hide videos from your profile.

3. Tap “Who can see this video”

Tap “Who can see this video.”

Tapping on “Privacy Settings” will take you to the video privacy settings.

On the video privacy settings, there are many options that you can edit.

There are options for “Who can see this video”, “Allow comments”, “Allow duets” and “Allow merging”.

The option you want to navigate to is the “Who can see this video” option because it allows you to change the privacy settings of the video.

Tap “Who can see this video” to control who can see the video.

In the final step, you’ll learn how to make a video private to hide it from your profile.

4. Select “Private”

Change the video privacy setting from “Everyone” to “Private”.

Once you’re in the “Who can see this video” setting, you’ll be able to control who can see your video.

There are three options you can choose from—Everyone, Friends, and Private.

If you select the “Everyone” option, everyone on TikTok will be able to see your video.

This means your video will show up on other users’ “For You” pages and may show up in hashtag search results if you’ve added hashtag(s) in the caption of the video.

Second, select the “Friends” option to only allow your followers to watch your videos.

Finally, the “Private” option prevents anyone from viewing your videos except you.

Tap the “Private” option to hide the TikTok video from your profile.

After you tap on the “Private” option, navigate back to your profile and you will see that the video will disappear.

To access it, tap the lock icon on your profile.

Congratulations, you have successfully learned how to hide your videos/posts on TikTok

Can you hide your TikTok videos from someone?

If you want to hide your TikTok videos from someone, you need to block that person.

To block someone on TikTok, navigate to the user’s profile and tap the three-dot icon.

Finally, tap “Block” to block users on TikTok.

Once you block a user, they won’t be able to find your profile or come across your video(s) on their “For You” page.

How to stop someone from watching your TikTok without blocking them?

To prevent someone from viewing your TikTok without blocking them, you can change the privacy setting of your video(s) to “Friends” or “Private”.

To do so, navigate to video > three dots > Privacy settings > Who can see this video > Friends/Privacy.

If you’ve changed the video’s privacy setting to “Friends,” only the followers you follow can see the video.

This means that if you don’t follow the person, they won’t be able to see your video.

Otherwise, changing a video’s privacy setting to “Private” will hide your video from everyone but you.

Conclusion

Sometimes it’s necessary to delete a video on TikTok because you might regret posting it.

The natural way to remove a TikTok video from your profile is to delete it.

However, a better alternative is to hide it from your feed so you can show it again on your feed if you happen to change your mind.

Therefore, changing the video’s privacy setting from “Everyone” to “Private” is the way to go.
