Can You Set Your Location in Another Country to Bypass the Ban
In short, the answer is no. While rumors and speculative TikTok videos claim there are "hacks" to bypass a ban by changing your online location, accessing TikTok from the U.S. would be extremely difficult once a ban takes effect. A ban would likely involve removing the app from Apple and Google’s U.S. app stores, making official downloads or updates impossible.
Some social media users suggest using a VPN to mask your location as non-U.S. to access TikTok. However, this is not straightforward. App stores often use additional account data—such as billing addresses or SIM card locations—to enforce regional restrictions, which a VPN cannot override. Additionally, even if the app is already downloaded, U.S. internet providers may block TikTok’s servers, severing access entirely.
How to Download All TikTok Videos at Once
While TikTok does not provide a built-in feature to download multiple videos simultaneously, there are several workarounds available, depending on your device and personal preferences.
1.Using a Third-Party Downloader
The most effective way to download multiple TikTok videos in bulk is by using third-party tools like 4K Tokkit (developed by 4K Download). Available for both PC and Mac, this software enables users to batch-download up to 50 TikTok videos at a time. With over 4,000 reviews on Trustpilot and an average rating of 4.5 stars, 4K Tokkit is a reliable and widely trusted solution that we’ve tested firsthand.
To use it:
Download the app to your desktop and grant the required permissions.
Enter your TikTok username or specific video URLs.
The tool will automatically initiate the download process, saving up to 50 videos daily to your device.
While the app offers a free tier, it imposes a daily download limit. For larger-scale downloads, upgrading to a paid account is recommended.
2.Downloading Videos Completely Free
For those looking to download hundreds of TikTok videos in a single day without cost, a method using GitHub files and basic command execution is available. While this approach requires some initial setup, it enables free large-scale batch downloads, making it suitable for high-volume needs.
To use this method, refer to a detailed YouTube tutorial that guides you through each step. It’s recommended to watch the full video to familiarize yourself with the process before attempting it. Though the tutorial primarily targets PC users, troubleshooting tips for Mac users are available in the comment section. Note that while free, this method demands more time, patience, and technical proficiency to execute successfully.
How to DownloHow to Download Videos on TikTok (Individually)
TikTok’s native download feature allows users to save videos directly to their devices. However, this tool has limitations: it only works for one video at a time, applies only to videos with the "Save video" option enabled, and retains the platform’s watermark.
To use it:
Go to the video you want to save.
Tap the Share icon (an arrow pointing right).
Select Save video. The video will download to your device’s gallery.
This method is ideal for users who only need to download a small number of videos and do not plan to edit them afterward.
How to Download TikTok Drafts
Downloading TikTok drafts is slightly more complex since they’re only accessible via your account. Follow these steps:
Access the Drafts Folder: Go to your TikTok profile and tap the Drafts folder.
Save the Draft: Select the draft you want to save, then tap the menu icon (three dots) on the right.
Choose Save Options:
TikTok lets you save the video with a watermark directly or post and save it without a watermark.
To save watermark-free, select Post to save without watermark.
Delete the Posted Video: After saving, delete the newly posted video from your profile. This keeps the draft unpublished while storing the watermark-free video on your device.
