Why can't TikTok photos be saved?

Previously, when taking photos or recording videos on TikTok. If you don't want to post on this platform, there is still a Save button for you to save to your device and post on another platform or share via other channels. However, in the current version, many users do not see this Save button.

Taking photos on TikTok without a save button means that many users do not know how to save the image/video after taking/recording. To find the best solution, let's first find out why the Save button disappears.

Why can't I save photos on TikTok?

1. Regarding the 'disappearance' of the Save button, the photo cannot be saved. In the current version of TikTok, the Save button has not disappeared. Instead, it has just moved to another location, or to put it more simply, it is hidden so you cannot see it.
2. The second reason that must be mentioned may be that the device's memory is too full. Therefore, after taking photos or recording videos, you cannot save these photos/videos.
3. The third reason, although rare, is that you have not updated the TikTok software for too long. The current version on your device is outdated, there is a problem, so the inability to save photos can also be due to this reason.
