How to create and reorder TikTok playlists

If you post videos that belong to a series or share a topic, you can group them into a playlist so people can watch them in sequence. I’ll show you where to create one, how to add and reorder posts, and what it means if the option is missing from your account.

TikTok does not make playlists available to every account. If you do not see an option to create playlists in your profile’s posts tab, TikTok says the feature is not available to you yet. A playlist is visible to others only if it contains at least one public post. If your account is private, you can still manage your playlists, but other people will not see them.

Create your first playlist

In the TikTok app, tap Profile, then the ☰ Menu. Open TikTok Studio. Under More tools, tap Playlist, then Create playlist. Follow the prompts to finish creating it.

You can also create a playlist from your profile: open the posts tab, tap Manage playlists, choose Create playlist, and follow the prompts. After you create your first playlist, you can return to Manage playlists from that tab or manage playlists in TikTok Studio.

Add posts and change their order

To add a video you have already posted, open it from your account and tap More options. Choose Add to playlist and select a playlist. You can choose Remove from playlist in the same menu to remove it. A post can only be in one playlist at a time. To move it, remove it from its current playlist before adding it to another.

You can also add a video while preparing it for publication. On the post screen, tap More options, then Add to playlist. Choose an existing playlist or New playlist. This option appears after you have created at least one playlist; if you do not have one yet, create it from your profile or TikTok Studio first.

To change the order, go to Manage playlists, select a playlist, then press and hold a post and drag it. By default, the post you added most recently plays first. Exit the playlist when you are done to save the new order. Add and remove changes are saved when you tap Add or Remove.

Rename or delete a playlist

From Manage playlists, select a playlist. Tap Edit beside its name, enter a new title, and tap Done. To delete one, open it from the posts tab, tap More options, choose Delete playlist, and confirm with Delete. This deletes the playlist, not the videos inside it.

TikTok explains how to create and manage playlists. If you are preparing a video series, you can also add or edit TikTok captions before you post.
