Can you make a Collection Public on TikTok?

Another useful aspect of collections on TikTok is that you can choose to keep them public or private. By default, all the collections you create are private.

Public collections are visible to the public on your profile and can be shared with your friends (the people you follow and they follow you back).

TikTok gives you the option to make a collection public so that others can also view them. You can do this at the time of creating your new collections by turning the “Make public” option on.

However, if you have already created a collection without making it public, it will be set to private. And here’s what you need to do to make it public:

1. Open TikTok
2. Navigate to your profile by tapping the profile icon.
3. Tap on the Favorites tab icon.
4. Tap on Collections.
5. Tap on the collection you wish to make public.
6. Press the share icon at the top right corner. The share menu will appear.
7. Tap Make public. Your collection will be made public.

Alternatively, you can make a public collection private by following the same steps.

Can you share a Private Collection with Friends?

You cannot share a private collection with friends or anybody on TikTok. If you try to share a private collection with a friend, TikTok will ask you to make it public first.

If you want to share a collection with a friend but also don’t want to make it public, you can create a separate collection just for your friends to enjoy.

This will allow you to save videos that you want your friends to see and don’t have any problem sharing with the public.
