How to Edit Captions on TikTok

Regrettably, if you have already posted your TikTok, the only available option to revise your caption is to promptly delete and repost. However, don’t fret. In case you have included numerous effects, music, and edits to your video, you don’t have to start from scratch and lose all your work.

Here’s a way to re-upload your final product before it is noticed by anyone:

Click on the ‘Profile’ icon located at the bottom right corner of your screen.
After accessing your profile, choose the specific video that you wish to upload again.
To access the ‘options’ menu, simply click on the three dots located to the right of your video.
The option to ‘Save Video’ should be located on the left side of the screen. After selecting this option, the video will be downloaded onto your device.
Repost the ready-made video by uploading it from your camera roll, adding a new caption (and making sure you’ve perfected it before you post!)

Simply relax and enjoy as the likes pour in, while patiently waiting for TikTok to introduce the ‘edit post’ feature.
