The other day, I went looking for a TikTok video that I had commented on. Subsequently, I spent the better part of 10 minutes fumbling through the app looking for some sort of option to see which videos I had left comments on. Unfortunately, unlike Facebook and other apps, TikTok does not have an “Activity Log” feature. Show
In other words, if you commented on the video, but you didn’t like it or favorite it, then you’re out of luck. Well, kind of. Because at this point, you are now relying on the actions of others. You can find your TikTok comments if other people have liked them or replied to them.If your comment received likes or replies from other users, then you might be able to find it in the “All activity” section. The “All Activity” section in TikTok. This section can be accessed via your notifications.

There could be numerous reasons for this, or it may have just been a bug at the time. Either way, it is something that is worth pointing out.

As a result, it can be a pain to scroll through. How to keep track of your comments on TikTok.To avoid this situation in the future, you should do one the following after you have left a comment:
Viewing videos that you have liked on TikTok.If you also liked the TikTok video that you commented on, then you should be able to find it in the “Liked videos” section. A screenshot of the TikTok profile page. In the middle of your profile, just underneath the “Edit profile” option, you will see a heart icon. This heart icon also has a privacy symbol on it. This is because your liked videos are private by default unless you specifically choose to make them public. i.e. Only you can see them. If you click on the heart icon, TikTok will display a list of the videos that you have previously liked. Obviously, in your case, you will have to sift through this list in order to find the video that you commented on. Conclusion: Currently, there is no DIRECT way to find a TikTok video that you commented on.Yes, I agree. It sucks. There is nothing worse than realizing that the video is gone forever.
