Screenshot is one of the most used functions of smartphone users, but it is also one of the most dubious. And it is common for people to believe that when they do this on a social network, it will give some kind of alert or notification.
Well, as we have already cleared your doubts about WhatsApp, Instagram and Tinder notifying you when you take screenshots, now it’s time to clarify what happens when you take a screenshot or download a video from TikTok. Also, at the end of the article we will tell you what to do if you want to prevent other users from taking screenshots or downloading your TikToks.
No, TikTok will not warn you if you take a screenshot or download a video.
The first thing you need to know is that Tik Tok does not notify the creator of the video if you take a screenshot or download it. Since this activity is completely undetectable, you can continue doing it without worry. There is also no way for users to see who downloaded their video or who took a screenshot.
How to stop people from taking screenshots or downloading my TikTok
Although you can’t completely prevent people from saving your TikToks (since you can still record them with the mobile screen recording function), you can disable downloading of your videos by following these steps.
Open TikTok and go to the profile section. Click the menu button (≡) in the upper right corner. Now click on Settings and Privacy and then on Privacy. Finally, click Downloads and disable the video download option.
Now, on the topic of screenshots, there’s really little you can do. TikTok doesn’t have a feature to disable them. However, something that can help you is to make your account private. This limits the number of people who have access to your TikTok, as only followers you approve can see it. To do this, you must follow the following steps:
Open TikTok and go to the profile section. Click the menu button (≡) in the upper right corner. Now click on Settings and Privacy and then on Privacy. Finally activate the private account option and that’s it.
And you… Do you think TikTok warns you when you take screenshots or download a video?
