TikTok was banned in the US, only to be unbanned after President Donald Trump took charge of the office. As soon as reports about TikTok getting banned surfaced, TikTok refugees shifted to Xiaohongshu, a Chinese social media app also called “RedNote.” The ban on TikTok came as a blessing not only for the RedNote app, which has seen a surge in the number of users, with nearly 3 million U.S. users in a single day, language learning app Duolingo, which also saw a hike in the number of its users learning Mandarin language. TikTok briefly shut down its operations in the US on Sunday, January 19, and now people are looking for ways to download the videos they have uploaded to the platform.
If you are also one such user or just a casual user looking for a way to bulk download TikTok videos, then you have landed in the right place. In this guide, we will share with you the best methods that can help you bulk download TikTok videos, negating the need to download videos individually. Without any further ado, let’s jump right into it.
