Tik Tok Tips YOUR DRAFTS WILL BE DELETED

Transcript

Your drafts will be deleted if you do this one thing. So I want to save you from getting your drafts deleted if you're a new creator. This happened to me a couple months ago and I've been creating for one year and two months consistently. Save this video so you can refer back to it. And always remember, repost, save. Follow me for more tips like this. Okay, let's get right into it so that you do not do what I did. I have like seven videos in there and I deleted it. This deleted all of them. Before you update your app, or if you're ever in a situation where you have to delete your app and reinstall it, I'm going to tell you right now, all those drafts will be deleted. So instead of, if you have to ever do that, make sure that you're posting or saving all the videos inside of your drafts before you delete the app and re-edit because you will come back into the app, it will be refreshed, and you will have zero drafts. This is going to save you a lot of time, a lot of energy, and a lot of heartbreak. Because if you know, you know. Posting videos, batching videos, filming videos, editing videos is no joke. And if you have those edited, they're going to disappear. Make sure that you follow for more tips like this because I upload content like this daily to help you grow daily on TikTok.
