How to Make Playlists on TikTok

Playlist creation is the first thing to do if you want to make use of the feature. Two distinct ways are provided on TikTok for this process.

You can create a playlist via your profile, or do so directly through a preferred video.

Create a TikTok Playlist Via Your Profile

You can simply have your playlist created using your profile in the steps explained below:

Step 1: Go to your TikTok profile

Launch the TikTok app using your Android or iOS device. You can open the platform using its website if you are using a personal computer.

After launching the platform, navigate to the lower right corner of the page and launch your profile by pressing the profile icon.

Step 2: Create a playlist

In your profile, locate the video section. In the video section, initiate the playlist creation by selecting the “Sort Videos into Playlist” feature.

If you have created a playlist before, you can simply press the plus tab in your playlist section to create a new playlist.

Yes, it is that simple to have your playlist created from your profile. All you have to do is follow the steps that will be provided in this guide to successfully add videos to the playlist created.

Create a TikTok Playlist Using a Preferred Video

You don’t have to go to your profile to have a playlist created if you already have a video in mind you wish to make use of.

You can follow the steps below to create a playlist directly using a video.

Step 1: Locate the video you wish to use

Launch the platform either from your mobile app or from a website. Search for the video you wish to use.

Step 2: Initiate playlist creation

When you have found the video you want to use, you can initiate the playlist creation process by either pressing the three-dotted icon located on the right side of the video or you can tap and hold the video for some seconds.

Step 3: Select “Add to playlist”

After pressing either the options icon at the right of the video or tapping and pressing it for a while, the “Add to playlist” option will be displayed.

Select it by tapping on it.

Step 4: Confirm the process of playlist creation

You will have to select the “Create a playlist” button to confirm and complete the process.

With this format, you have successfully done two things at the same time: created a playlist and added the first video to the newly created playlist.

Creating an empty playlist is as good as not having a playlist at all. So, there is a need to add videos to your playlist.

Adding Videos to a TikTok Playlist

There are two ways to have videos added to your playlist.

Method 1: Adding Older Videos

This is the more conventional method. After creating your playlist, you can simply select the videos you wish to add to the playlist. Follow the steps below to do this:

Launch your TikTok app.
Search and locate the video you wish to be added to the list.
Press the options menu which is represented by a three-dotted icon to reveal the option for video addition. You can press and hold the video to reveal the video addition option as well.

Press the “Add to playlist” button. Tap on the playlist you wish the video to be added to.

Method 2: Adding a Video While Posting

Another way you can add a video to your playlist on TikTok is doing so after posting a video. Here is how:

Create your TikTok video directly on the TikTok app or select an already-made video to upload.
You will be provided with the option of adding your video to a playlist if you have a ready-made playlist. If you don’t, then, the option will not be displayed.
Go ahead and choose the playlist you will want the video to be added to.

Afterwards, you can upload the video.

Managing Your Playlists on TikTok

There are different actions that you can carry out on your playlist. You can edit your playlist, or have one deleted if the need arises.

Note that you can only afford to use a video in just one playlist. This means that you will have to remove a video from one playlist to have access to adding it to another.

How to Remove a Video from Your Playlist

Launch your TikTok account.

Locate the video to be removed.
Press and hold the video for a while or select the options icon (•••) at the side of the video.
From the options, select “Remove from playlist”.

How to Edit Your Playlist

Launch the TikTok app and open your profile.
From your video section, select the playlist to be edited.

Press the option icon (•••) and choose the option of editing your playlist from the options displayed.
You can add, remove and reorganize the videos in your selected playlist afterwards.

How to Delete Your Playlist on TikTok

Open your profile.
Select the playlist to be deleted in the video section.
Press the option icon (•••) and choose the delete option.

Confirm the process by selecting ” Delete” again.
