What are playlists on TikTok?
Playlists on TikTok allow creators to categorize their public content and let viewers watch related posts in a sequence.
Playlists aren't currently available to everyone on TikTok. If you don't see an option to create playlists in the posts tab on your profile, that means playlists aren't available to you yet.
How to make a playlist on TikTok
If you have access, you can make a playlist from your profile or before you post your content. Keep in mind that your playlist will only be visible to others if it contains one or more public posts. If you switch to a private account, you can still manage your playlists, but they'll no longer be visible to anyone else on TikTok.
To make your first playlist:
1. In the TikTok app, tap Profile at the bottom.
2. Tap the Menu ☰ button at the top, then select TikTok Studio.
3. Within More tools, tap Playlist.
4. Tap Create playlist.
5. Follow the steps to create your first playlist.
After you've made your first playlist, you can continue to create playlists by tapping the Manage playlists button in the posts tab on your profile or through TikTok Studio.
To make a playlist from your profile:
1. In the TikTok app, tap Profile at the bottom.
2. In the posts tab on your profile, tap the Manage playlists button.
3. Tap Create playlist.
4. Follow the steps to create your first playlist.
How to add and remove a post to a playlist
Once you've created your playlist, you can add more posts that you've already created, or add new posts to a playlist.
To add content to a playlist directly from a post:

2. Tap the More options … button. From here:
༚ Tap Add to playlist and select the playlist you'd like to add the post to.
༚ Tap Remove from playlist to remove the post from its current playlist.
Note: A post can only be in one playlist at a time. If you'd like to add a post to a different playlist, you'll have to remove it from the playlist it's already in.
To add a post to a playlist before you publish the post:
1. In the TikTok app, create your post.
2. On the post screen, tap the More options … button.
3. Tap Add to playlist. From here, you can:

How to manage your playlists
You can manage your playlists at any time in your posts tab or TikTok Studio.
