TikTok users have taken to the internet with worries over the favourite sounds no longer appearing on their account.
A favourite sound is a TikTok sound which you have saved. Usually people save sounds so that they can join in with a TikTok trend or make a video to the sound.
However, others save sounds so that they can find them easily and listen to them when they want to. Here is everything we know…
TikTok users cannot find their favorite sounds
TikTok users have taken to Twitter to share their concerns over the fact that their favourite sounds on the app seem to have disappeared.
Users have been going to the ‘favourites’ section and looking under the ‘sounds’ tab, but their favourite sounds don’t seem to be showing there.
One user wrote: “Why did all of my favorite sounds go away.”
Another said: “My favorite sounds on tiktok are gone, how am i gonna get the brain itch now.”
People united on Twitter over the disappearance of their favourite sounds on TikTok, and one person said: “I am so sad my tiktok favorite sounds aren’t loading how can i imagine scenarios to them if they don’t load.”
Several people responded to their tweet, with someone writing: “Don’t worry it happened to me too.”
Although TikTok is yet to respond to these complaints, it is likely just a bug on the app which has caused this error to happen.

How to view your favorite sounds
To view your favourite sounds, you need to open up TikTok and click on the tab at the bottom of the screen labelled “me.”
Next to the ‘Edit Profile’ button there is a bookmark shaped symbol. This is where everything you “favourite” or save on TikTok is stored.
“Sounds” is the third tab along in this section and is where all the TikTok sounds you save are kept. You can also “favourite” videos, hashtags, effects, questions, and products.
my favorite sounds in tiktok are literally better than my whole spotify playlists

TikTok announced in a press release that TikTok TV is built “for a TV home-viewing experience” which makes it easy to watch TikTok videos on the big screen.
The release states: “We’re taking TikTok to the big screen in the living room, offering a new way to experience the joy and creativity of TikTok together at home.”
