How to see all your liked TikToks from the beginning
How do I see all my liked TikToks from the beginning?
The Liked tab is a newest-first feed with no sorting, so the earliest likes are unreachable by scrolling. Your TikTok data export includes the full like list with a timestamp on every entry — import it into ScrollBack and sort ascending to see your likes from the very first one onwards, on any device.

Likes and saves are two different lists
A like is a public-ish signal that also feeds your recommendations; a save is a private bookmark. Most people use both, often for different things — likes for what amused them in the moment, saves for what they meant to come back to.
The export contains both, so you can browse them separately without having to remember which button you pressed at the time.
Why the like list is usually the longer one
Liking is one tap in the middle of scrolling, so like lists commonly run into the tens of thousands where saves run into the hundreds. That makes scrolling to the start even less realistic — and the sorted view even more useful.
Large exports take a few extra seconds to parse, but the browser handles them fine and the result is browsable at once.
A note on privacy settings
Whether your Liked tab is visible to other people is a TikTok setting and is unaffected by any of this. The export is your own copy, visible only to you, and it is parsed on your device rather than uploaded anywhere.
Frequently asked questions
Does the export include likes I later removed?
No — it reflects your current like list, not videos you have since unliked.
Can I see likes and saves side by side?
They're both in the import; you browse them as one chronological history of what you kept.
Is there a limit to how many likes it can handle?
Tens of thousands of entries import fine; very large exports just take a few extra seconds to parse.
