Although TikTok is banned in a number of countries and this trend will continue, we doubt that it will fall behind other social platforms. We are almost certain that Bytedance will revise its policy, rewrite its user data terms and re-submit its application. In any case, it’s still available in many countries and regions. So if you are using this app from there, here are some tricks.
Not surprisingly, TikTok’s biggest advantage is its user base. Bytedance, on the other hand, has been able to build such a large community for a number of reasons, such as being the most convenient way to create short videos that last no longer than three minutes. As the content is only videos, the user interface is quite simple, including only a few features and icons. This makes it extremely easy to use. We mean there are no complicated and well-hidden functions and features. So this is why many users prefer this platform. Well, this is true, at least, for teenagers, the so-called generation alpha. They have a technological mindset. But when it comes to older users, there could be some difficulties in using the app.
However, some beginners still find it difficult to edit a video on TikTok. Make sure you agree before posting. Otherwise, it won’t appear in #rec. Apart from that, we’ll see how to download videos, delete them, etc.
How to delete a TikTok video
Once you have opened the TikTok app and logged in, follow these steps to delete the unwanted videos:

- Tap the three-dot icon. It’s on the right side of the video.
