Does TikTok Notify Screenshots & Download? How to Download If Disabled?

Does TikTok notify screenshots of video content? No. TikTok won’t tell you if anyone has screen captured your videos. Can people see if you screenshot their TikTok videos? Also No. 

TikTok states in the Terms of Service: “All user content will be considered non-confidential and non-proprietary.” Unlike content subscription services like OnlyFans which care about user privacy and copyright, TikTok’s content is free to access, so users won’t be stopped from screenshotting, saving, and downloading your content.

How about messages? Does TikTok notify when you screenshot messages? No, the recipients won’t know as well.

Does TikTok Notify Downloads?

No. Similarly, TikTok will not notify the content owner when people download your videos. You cannot know who downloaded them. But, you can check who has viewed/liked/bookmarked your content.

Vise versa, when you download others’ videos, the publisher won’t know.

Why I Can’t Download TikTok Videos?

This is because the content owner has turned off the video download permission. You can find the option in your settings here: 

1. TikTok app > Profile.
2. Menu > Settings and privacy.
3. Privacy > Downloads > turn off Video downloads.

When the video download permission is off, the Save video button will disappear.
