How to Edit A Caption On TikTok Video

TikTok is a great app that lets you create and upload short videos on nearly any topic. 
As you're creating a video, you can add music, sound effects, graphics, and many other effects, and you can also change hair color in TikTok videos. This is in addition to adding tags and a caption.
Unfortunately though, once you upload a video onto TikTok, you have to put all those editing tools away and be happy with the final product. TikTok doesn't let you edit any part of the video once it's uploaded, including the caption.
As such, before you post anything, you should make sure that you're happy with what you've made.
If you decide you're not, however, or find a typo in the caption, there is a workaround — as long as you don't mind losing any immediate likes or comments you may have on your video.
Here's what you need to know, whether you're using TikTok on your iPhone or Android device.

How to edit the caption on your TikTok video by quickly downloading and reposting it

You can't edit a video's caption once it's posted. The solution is to download the video to your phone, delete the video from TikTok, and then reupload it with a new caption.
Here's how to do it.
1. Go to your profile tab on TikTok by tapping the "Me" icon in the bottom-right corner of the screen, and select the video that you want to edit.

Open the menu again, scroll to the right, and tap Delete. 
5. Once it's deleted, tap the "+" button you would use to add a video, but instead of recording, tap the "Upload" button to the right of the record button.

You can upload videos directly from your camera roll.

How to Use Windows 11’s Built-In Video Editor

Clipchamp, the video-editing software package Microsoft bought last year, is making its way into Windows 11 as an “inbox app”—in other words, an app that appears when you first install the operating system, such as Notepad. At the time of writing, Clipchamp is only included in the preview build of Windows 11, but it should reach everyone soon. Even before it officially becomes a bundled app, you can find it and install it from the Microsoft Store (search for "Clipchamp" or follow  this link ).
