TikTok Users Rush to Save Content Ahead of Potential U.S. Ban

With the platform possibly becoming inaccessible on January 19, users are employing various tools to back up their videos and data.

TikTok users are preparing for the platform's potential ban in the U.S. by downloading their personal data and videos before January 19.
TikTok offers built-in tools to export account data such as likes, follows, and bookmarks, but these do not include video files.
Options for saving videos include manual downloads, browser extensions, and third-party tools like Tokbackup and Repurpose.io, which vary in cost and ease of use.
Advanced users can employ coding methods or Chrome DevTools to bulk download video links and use online services to retrieve the files.
Experts recommend backing up videos and data to ensure creators retain access to their content, regardless of the platform's future status.
