Have you noticed that some of your favorite TikTok creators have custom playlists on their profiles? Playlists makes it super easy for your followers to easily view your multi-part TikTok clips, as well as watch curated selections of your best content. If the playlists feature has been granted to your TikTok account, you can easily group your own videos into playlists. But you might need to be patient, as playlists aren't available to everyone on TikTok. This wikiHow article will teach you how to create, manage, and sort TikTok playlists on your Android, iPhone, or iPad.
