This means you can scroll through 150MB of your favorite content without the need for Wi-Fi or mobile data.
To activate the feature in your app, go to your profile and click the top right button with three horizontal lines.
Select ‘settings and privacy’ and scroll down to the ‘Cache and mobile’ section, where there should be an option to click ‘Offline Videos’.
Here you can choose how much content you want to store on your phone, from 50 videos taking up 27 MB and 30 minutes of watch time, to 200 videos taking up 150 MB and two hours of watch time.
It says: “Download videos to watch offline.

Many influencers have shared their excitement about discovering the feature.
Blogger Megan Homme said: “POV, you just learned how to watch TikToks on a plane without WiFi.”

TIKTOK: A QUICK GUIDE TO THE MOST DOWNLOADED APP IN THE WORLD
TikTok allows users to create and share short videos with music and camera effects.
It is owned by Beijing-based ByteDance, founded by entrepreneur Zhang Yiming.
The $75 billion conglomerate acquired the Musical.ly app in 2017 and merged it with TikTok, bringing in millions of new users.
It is the world’s most downloaded iPhone app – with nearly 800 million downloads worldwide, according to data from mobile research firm Sensor Tower.
Facebook has taken note of TikTok’s rising popularity and launched a competing app called Lasso in November last year.
Go to the menu bar and click “Create Video”.
Then you need to select “Beauty” on the right side of the camera screen.
This would “beautify” your video.
Then all you have to do is click record and start filming.
