TikTok has become an extremely popular video-making app. Its main advantage is that you can convey enough information in a short video to make it interesting to the person watching your video. The app has a built-in video editor that makes it easier and faster to edit your creative video.
Sometimes it happens that you have posted a video to TikTok with an error in the description or in the captions. There’s nothing wrong with that, as you can easily correct the mistake.
So, here is how to change the caption on TikTok.

How to edit a TikTok caption after posting
Unfortunately, TikTok doesn’t allow you to edit the video caption after posting. However, there is a workaround so that you don’t have to record and re-post the same content. If you notice a problem with the caption earlier in the video’s life, you can easily fix it by re-uploading the same video to your profile.
So, if you want to edit a TikTok caption of your video, you have to follow these steps:
- First of all, open the TikTok app on your smartphone and tap on the “Me” icon at the bottom left corner of the screen.
- Next, you will be able to see all videos you have uploaded. Just tap on the video with the caption you want to edit.
- After that, tap on the “three dots” icon at the right side of the screen and select “Save Video”.
- Once you have saved the video, just reupload the exact same video but now with the new caption.
- Then, tap on the “+” icon at the bottom of the screen.
- Tap on the “Upload” button to see a list of pictures and videos.
- Choose the video you have already saved from TikTok and tap “Next”.
- Tap “Next” once again in the top right corner of the screen. There you can add text, stickers and change different effects.

Once you have completed these steps, your newly updated video will appear in your profile. Now you can delete the previous original video.
