How to create a playlist on TikTok on an iPhone

Those who edit and upload videos on their iPhone can create a TikTok playlist by following the instructions below:

1. Tap on the Tik Tok app from the home screen to launch it.
   
2. If prompted, log into your account using your profile information.
   
3. Select the profile icon at the bottom right of the interface.
   
4. Click the Videos tab and choose the “Sort videos into playlists” option if you are creating your first playlist. If you’ve used the feature before, tap the plus icon next to existing playlists.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to name the playlist and organize videos.

Please note that the feature is not available to all TikTok users. The platform has enabled it only for selected creators. While the rules behind the selection process are unclear, TikTok will likely soon roll out the feature to all creator profiles.

You can add videos that you have uploaded. However, it is impossible to add videos from other creators to your playlists.

Also, consider the theme of your playlists, as a single video cannot be added to multiple playlists.

How to create a playlist on TikTok on an Android

TikTok works well on different devices, so you shouldn’t have any difficulties adding videos to playlists on an Android smartphone. The process is relatively simple. Here’s what you need to do to organize your content:

1. Select the Tik Tok icon on the home screen to open the application.
   
2. Enter your account credentials to access your account if you see the login window.
   
3. Go to the bottom of the app and click on the profile icon on the right of the screen.
4. Press the Videos tab and press the “Sort videos into playlists” option to create your first playlists. Those who have used the feature before should tap the small plus icon next to their other playlists.
5. The on-screen instructions will help you name the playlist and add videos.

Although the creator playlist is a useful feature, not everyone on the platform can use it. The app has decided that only selected creators can test the feature. Unfortunately, TikTok has not been transparent about the rules behind the selection process. But as more creators sign up each day, it may soon be available to all creator accounts.

Another thing to remember about playlists is that you can’t add a video to multiple collections. Make sure each collection has a recognizable theme to make the content more accessible to your audience.

How to create a playlist on TikTok on PC

While you can’t edit or save content through the TikTok desktop program, some creators can sort their videos into playlists. Follow the steps below to do it:

1. Start the program from your desktop.
   
2. Enter your account credentials in the login field if necessary.
   
3. Navigate to the right side of the app and tap the profile icon on the right side of the screen, then click View profile.
   
4. Select the Videos tab and click “Sort videos into playlists” to create your first playlist. If you’ve used the feature before, click the little plus icon next to your other playlists.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.

Please note that only selected creators can create playlists. If you can’t access it through your profile, it means that TikTok hasn’t enabled it on your account yet. Hopefully, as the platform grows, the creator’s playlist will be accessible to all users.

Remember that a single video can be added to a single playlist. To better categorize your content, make sure each playlist has a recognizable theme.

How to create a playlist on TikTok on an iPad

iPad users can also create playlists for their short clips. This is what you should do:

1. Tap the TikTok icon to open the app.
   
2. When prompted, enter your login credentials to access your account.
   
3. Go to the bottom of the app and tap the profile icon in the right corner of the interface.
   
4. Press the Videos tab and choose “Sort videos into playlists” to create your first playlist. Tap the little plus icon next to your other playlists if you’ve already tried the feature.
   The on-screen instructions will help you complete the task.

If you can’t find this feature, TikTok hasn’t enabled it on your profile. Currently, only selected users can create creator playlists.

Those who can access the function should remember that a video can only be part of a playlist. So, make sure all the videos in the playlists follow the same theme.

Optimize your content with creator playlists

TikTok users who can access the Creator Playlist feature can use it to better organize their clips and attract more viewers. Playlists are a useful video categorization tool, so the platform may soon decide to implement them in all registered accounts.
