Move saved TikToks between iPhone and Android

Option 1: Google Photos (easiest)

1. Install Google Photos on the old phone and turn on Backup at Original quality.
2. Wait until the clips are uploaded (use Wi-Fi).
3. Sign in to the same account on the new phone — the clips appear; download them to the device if you want them offline.

Option 2: through a computer (fastest)

Copy the clips from the old phone to a computer with a cable, then from the computer to the new phone. Step-by-step: phone to computer.

Option 3: the switching tools

• iPhone → Android: Android's setup wizard can copy photos and videos from an iPhone with a cable on many models (Samsung Smart Switch, Google's "Copy apps & data").
• Android → iPhone: Apple's Move to iOS app transfers photos and videos during iPhone setup.

Avoid chat apps for moving collections

Sending clips to yourself on WhatsApp or Messenger shrinks them. Fine for one funny clip, bad for an archive.

Remember TikTok drafts do not travel with your account — rescue them first with the drafts guide.
