How to Request and Download Your TikTok Data
A TikTok data export starts in the mobile app under Settings and privacy, Account, and Download your data. You choose the included information and format before submitting the request.
The decision that matters
Choose the right export before you start
TikTok separates requesting data from downloading the prepared file. The archive may take several days, and the completed file remains available only for a limited window.
