How do you delete a story on TikTok?

TIKTOK'S story feature is a fun way to share what you're up to with your friends.

But if you're having second thoughts about a TikTok story you've posted, then this is how you delete it.

What is a story on TikTok?

TikTok stories are short videos that users can post on their accounts.

They allow users to present a snapshot of their day or to quickly share a TikTok that they are a fan of.

These stories are very similar to Instagram stories and Snapchat stories.

Stories cannot be longer than 15 seconds, but there is no limit on how many stories a user can post.

Do TikTok stories expire?

TikTok stories only last for 24 hours before they disappear.

After this, they will be saved to your archive where other users will not be able to see them.

You will always be able to access your archive, allowing you to look back at everything you have posted (similar to rereading a diary).

How can you delete a story on TikTok?

If you're having regrets about something you've posted, then you can delete the story in a few easy steps.

First, open the story on your TikTok account.

Next, click the three dots in the right-hand corner.

Then click delete and then delete again.

Now your story has been deleted.

Can you recover a deleted story on TikTok?

Deleted stories cannot be recovered from TikTok, unlike deleted posts.

However, if you saved your story to your camera roll then you can recover it from there.

Stories are meant to be less permanent than posts, which is why it is harder to recover them.

Can you see who has viewed your TikTok story?

Just like on Instagram, you can see who has viewed your TikTok story.

To check who has been looking at your story, just open up your post and click on the icon in the lower left corner.

This will bring up a list of everyone who has seen your post.

How long has TikTok been popular?

TikTok, owned by Chinese internet company ByteDance, became the most popular app in the world in 2021.

By 2020, it had already surpassed 2 billion downloads.

The app itself was launched internationally in 2017 and merged with Musical.ly in 2018, in a $1 billion deal.

Other companies have tried to keep up with its rapid growth by incorporating their own features that borrow from TikTok, such as Instagram's Reels feature.
